September 12, 2011, 13 years ago
According to The List, VAN HALEN are trying to ban Karl Pilkington's version of 'Jump' from appearing in An Idiot Abroad: The Bucket List.
The Sky1 TV show - devised by Ricky Gervais and Stephen Merchant - sees Karl being sent around the world to undertake a list of challenges you should do before you die, with one of them being to perform in an American 'Glee'-style chorus club.
He sang the rockers' hit 'Jump' but his rendition was so bad, the band are trying to stop it from being aired.
Ricky said: "Van Halen are trying to put a stop to it, because it is that bad. But Sky have got a blanket agreement so we can put it out in England. But we can't put it out in America or on the DVD. But they can't stop us. Even if I have to put it out on the web it's being used."
