A SHORT film that defiantly celebrates the oddity of place names such as Crapstone, Harrowbarrow and Brown Willy appears to be going viral on YouTube.

The music video made by The Kit Hillbillies was watched 1,500 times in its first five days of release.

The band's song 'I've Been Everywhere Too' strings together dozens of strange and rude sounding places from across the west country.

The film finds novel visual ways for the place-names to crop up during the course of the action, which starts at Kit Hill and finishes at the Tamar Inn, Calstock.

Dougal Maynard of the Tamar Inn said: 'Everyone was well up for a bit of comic high drama during the filming.

'Apart from anything, people really love these weird local place names.

'There had been this suggestion that they should be cleaned up. Well Brown Willy should be left well alone.'

The cameraman, Julian Clinkard who lives locally, is more used to filming household names such as Rick Stein, Jamie Oliver and Michael Palin.

'It was a right laugh to film and that comes over on screen,' he said,

'It turns out you can produce a decent film without a mobile catering suite.'
