Thread Name: The Genre of Funny English Songs
Subject: RE: The Genre of Funny English Songs
Don't forget Kevin's "Marmite" song--specific and universal at the same time--a true classic. And some great contributions I heard at the Anchor--such as "I'm Glad I'm A Middle Bar Singer" (no reason to leave parodies out). And Dave Diamond--he may be on the left side of the Pond, but his songs have the unmistakeable English flair--"Teabags Away" "Lifeboat" and "It's Not What I'd Sing When I'm Sober" (Folksinger's Lament?), to name a few.
