ED SHEERAN’S SHAPE of You is one of the biggest songs in the world right now.

It’s a total earworm with the Oh I, oh I, oh I, oh I refrain tormenting people for weeks now.

Im in love w the shape of you oh i oh i oh i oh i

Some listeners have noticed a subtle similarity between Shape of You and Speeding Cars by Irish act Walking on Cars.

In fact some people have called for a mash-up of the two songs.

And finally someone has answered their prayers.

Irish comedy sketch group Join has created a mash-up between Shape of You and Speeding Cars that works eerily well (and proves that it’s not just that think they sound alike.)

Unofficial remix, anyone?
