To celebrate the arrival of the popular US series in the UK, host channel Dave and British music producer Alex Ross have teamed up to release 'Storage Hunters (The Auction Remix)'.
Ross created the track by mashing up vocal snippets from the UK and US editions of the show with an underlying disco track, with presenter Sean Kelly unwittingly lending vocals.
Ross previously created 'The Nick Clegg Apology Song: I'm Sorry', which became a viral hit and entered the UK singles chart in September 2012.
Ross, who watched over 27 hours of Storage Hunters to create the track, said: "I'm a huge fan of the show. As soon as Dave briefed me, I knew I was in for a binge session of Storage Hunters so immediately agreed!
"After re-watching the old episodes I was itching to get into the studio to create what I think is a belter of a track which all Storage Hunters fans will love.
"All auto tuned, reminiscent of a will.i.am chart topper; the words and beats infuse with elements of rock, dance, funk and hip-hop. A release all die-hard fans of this sensational show will adore."

Presenter Kelly added: "People are always saying how much my bidding style sounds like a country and western song, so the fact Dave has taken it a step further and created a club hit has turned my musical dreams into a reality. This could actually be a chart topper!"
General Manager of Dave, Steve North, said: "Following the smash hit success of the US show, we are excited to bring Storage Hunters UK to British screens this autumn. I couldn't think of a better way to celebrate this brand new series than potentially knocking the likes of One Direction or Taylor Swift off the top of the charts."
The single will soon be available to purchase on iTunes, with all proceeds from its sale going to UKTV's chosen charity, COSMIC.
Storage Hunters UK premieres on Tuesday (October 28) at 8pm on Dave. The series will see Sean Kelly travel across the Atlantic to discover the hidden treasures of the UK's disused storage units.
