"Thames Water sewermen have created a &amp;#039;Gangnam Style&amp;#039; parody in an attempt to tackle London&amp;#039;s blocked drains. The song, called &amp;#039;Sewerman Style&amp;#039;, urges Londoners to refrain from pouring their turkey fat down the drain at Christmas.      Sewerman Rob Smith, who appears in the spoof, told Metro: &amp;quot;Our video is a bit of festive fun with a very serious message. &amp;quot;Sewer flooding results in people literally getting their own back. It&amp;#039;s horrific. It&amp;#039;s got to stop. &amp;quot;That&amp;#039;s why we&amp;#039;re hell-bent on getting people to take heed of the sewermen&amp;#039;s war cry: Bin it - don&amp;#039;t block it. Got it?&amp;quot; Every year, Thames Water spends \u00C2\u00A312 million clearing blocked sewers and was called out to over 100 blockages on Christmas Day in 2011.   Thames Water announced: &amp;quot;Around 7,000 properties in London and the Thames Valley endure the misery of sewer flooding every year - a result of cooking fat, wet wipes and sanitary items being dumped down drains. &amp;quot;The tunelessness of the sewermen&amp;#039;s singing is inversely proportional to their determination to put an end to sewer abuse - putting anything other than human waste or loo roll down drains.&amp;quot; Last month, Psy&amp;#039;s &amp;#039;Gangnam Style&amp;#039; became the most watched video on YouTube, beating Justin Bieber&amp;#039;s &amp;#039;Baby&amp;#039; with 946 million hits.
