Yes, I guess purists are critical of them but their arrangements are just fun, if not a little manic - they generally make me smile.

I saw them live at Exeter Northcott and their performance had more 'theatre' than the video shows, even some pyrotechnics.

Apart from comedy records (ie Monty Python) what do you recommend ?

I'll bite, OK, try Flight of the Conchords.

Funny pastiches of music genres and artistes.

Rappers 'badness'...

Prince in woo-ing mode...

The Pet Shop Boys...

Curtis Mayfield-esque social-awareness mellowness...

Gangsta rap word drop out censorship...

Revolution-era Prince...

Bazza White-esque...

Ace wordsmanship (IMO).

I saw this lot once, quite by accident, supporting Stray, Bromley Teachers Training College, as I recall.

They done a particularly good job of the evergreen 'It Ain't The Meat It's The Motion' with the self-confessed 'fat bastard' singer giving convincing forward groin movements with the vocals.

Alberto y los trios paranoias - Ha! I remember them. They might have been sociology students at Sheffield (corse they might not) I saw them a couple of times in London; teh biggest venue was the Royal Court in Chelsea.

They were brilliant. (I had a soft spot for the Barron Knights back in the 60s too)

However, I still have an EP of theirs and I suppose I'd better dig it out and have a lisssen.

Yeah but no but ... I know I still remember using '78's (wha'?) is there really someone here who does not know what an EP is?

If there is then I apologise unreservedly and will eat my Twist & Shout Ep as a penance.

your 'umble servant !
