Entertainment For Lively Minds
Musical parodies and other amusements
Posted by Lando Cakes on 1 June 2010 - 2:56pm.
I am at home malingering and in need of cheering up. And what better way to cheer up than to listen to amusing music. That's amusing, rather than merely uplifting, life-affirming etc.
There's an example of what I mean below but I'm hoping that the Word blog hive mind will suggest many others with which I am not yet familiar...

Chris Morris
Excellent!
The REM one is particularly well done, I think.
Oh i forgot my favourite
Let's complete the set, shall we?
Fur Q - Uzi Lover:
JLB-8 - Little White Butt:
The Pixies - Motherbanger:
And miscellaneous other bits:
In order:
JLB-8 again
Funny-Eyed Guy - also from the Brass Eye Pedo-Tacular.
Cake music - Music that "Cake" users listen to, from the Brass Eye drugs episode.
Blouse - Me Oh Myra as above.
Playground Bangaround - more pedo-tunes, this time a "lost glam-rock song".
Pet Shop Boys' Christmas Single - from an early Morris Radio show on GLR, some time in the early 90s.
Alberto y Lost Trios Paranoias
Amazing to report that lead singer on this clip, Jimmy Hibbert, is now a sucessful voice-over artist & scriptwriter for some of the best animated series in the UK over the last 30 years; from Count Duckula and Noddy to Bob The Builder and Gordon The Garden Gnome.
Albertos
Great to see the Alberto's again, saw them in the late 70's with the Police as the support act. How times change!
Hope you get a laugh out of these.
I can't decide
whether what the Portsmouth Sinfonia do is very easy or very difficult.
I suspect that Dylan sampled Spike Jones's laugh for his '115th Dream' though.
Bill Bailey
There are a few variations of this:
He also did a superb Portishead cover of Zippety-Doo-Dah, although I can't find it on YouTube.
I like Bill's ultimate love song, too
Now the duck lies shredded
Soaking in the hoisin of your love
A national treasure
I still chuckle at his
" I was out with my girlfriend and this guy kept following us around going 'Hey, you're in Hawkwind aren't you?' 'No I'm not' 'Yes you are - you're in Hawkwind'...
Turns out, I am in Hawkwind."
I am still laughing at Docteur Qui
about 5:30 into here
Down with the sickness
Thanks for all of those I am greatly cheered - and, coincidentally, also well enough to go back to work tomorrow. Don't let that stop anyone adding more though.
Here's some Richard Cheese:
Beep beep
There are a lot more of the CD's tracks on YouTube. Have this one.
