Hear the songs from the comic X Factor musical

I Can't Sing - Press Launch. Image shows from L to R: Nigel Harman, Simon Cowell, Harry Hill

The team behind the X Factor musical I Can't Sing have released audio recordings of four of the songs that will be featured in the stage show.

Written by Harry Hill alongside TV Burp and Spitting Image composer Steve Brown, the musical is described as "irreverent, mischievous and yet strangely touching". The comedy exposes the (allegedly) true story behind The X Factor musical TV talent show contest - and is being marketed as "a gloriously twisted tale of naked ambition, heartache, hunchbacks and talking dogs."

Simon Cowell acts as co-producer on the show, which will be launched at the renowned London Palladium on the 27th February 2014. The cast will include Mount Pleasant and EastEnders star Nigel Harman as the outspoken judge 'Simon'.

Here are the musical tracks you can listen to...
