Musical Comedy - at last a thread!

If you want to experience a real double-take, click on either of these but then don't listen too carefully; just see if your ear notices something awry....

Musical comedy of a different kind:










And my personal favorite:




(Here's the invisible ink explanation for those of you who don't read music: A-Sharp BABE)

I heard the Beatnix on the radio years ago, but I never knew who it was. Thank you, now I know I didn't imagine it.

Australia's number one wagnerian metal band! Hilarious pisstake of / homage to the genre: Barbarion's web site.

Just discovered this ridiculous concept band
Blending Beatles lyrics with Metallica speed metal and giving the songs really bad names, like:

And Justice For All My Loving



Other tracks include
All You Need Is Blood
Blackened the U.S.S.R.
I Want to Choke Your Band
Leper Madonna
Sgt. Hetfield's Motorbreath Pub Band
The Thing That Should Not Let It Be

that was actually quite clever, if not something I would want to listen to all evening...

I know what you mean - can't believe they've made a career out of it.

My God Set - I never replied to you! Very sorry.

Dawn French and Jennifer Saunders are doyens of what was known as the British New Wave of comedy - post oxbridge the rise of the Young Ones etc.

They had a long running sketch show on Brit TV (don't think it aired here very often). Each has had impressive solo careers: French for Vicar of Dibley and Saunders for Absolutely Fabulous. But there has plenty of other stuff.

They appeared with key members of the Young Ones in 'The Comic Strip Presents...'
And indeed Saunders married 'Vyvian' from the Young Ones (Adrian Edmondson) and French married famous British stand up Lenny Henry (divorced last year after 26 years of marriage)

But my fondest memories are them playing teenagers talking about sex:



Which I should probably post in Edgar's Youtube comedy thread....

Misheard lyrics: Carmina burana







(Good lord... haven't been here in a while...)
