This is an interesting pair of takes because my problem with it was that it was just about the most on-the-nose, boring, predictable song they could have put there. I was just joking that they should have put Cloudbusting there instead, but it was pointed out that there's an early 90s version of that song that is clearly going into Season 8 of the show. Just pick any other song from the Chocolate War soundtrack instead. "I Have The Touch" would have worked even better.
