A Facebook campaign has been launched following the death of Baroness Thatcher to make Judy Garland song 'Ding Dong! The Witch is Dead' number one.

Members posted a link to the song and urged people to download it in a bid to send it rocketing to the top of the charts.

It features in the 1939 musical The Wizard of Oz and is sung by Dorothy, played by Judy Garland, the Munchkins and Glinda the Good Witch, played by Billie Burke.

They sing it as they celebrate the death of the Wicked Witch of the East after Dorothy "dropped a house on her".
