biffbampow 18th May 2015		Brilliant! That's just made my day - never seen that before and yep... count me in on those scarves as well! There's also them doing the Status Quid number on Australian TV which is quite amusing too... I wish somebody would upload the video they did for "Too Depressed To Commit Suicide" - a short clip was shown of it during an interview some years ago with Angus Deayton but still have yet to see it in all it's glory!



RogerFoster 18th May 2015		Here is a "Live" performance of "Meaningless Songs" from Sweden (complete with Swedish sub-titles) .... Now, where can I get one of those scarves?



biffbampow 18th May 2015		He he he... yes, that one gets one singing along and tapping the old tootsies! After my previous comment, I dug it out and gave it a spin last night... really enjoyed it. The tunes are good, lyrics amusing and the attention to detail is fascinating... like those Stewart Copeland-esque drum parts with somebody muttering in reply "Come in!" since well... they did sound like somebody tapping at the door!



TheJudge 18th May 2015		The Kenny Rogers send-up gets me every time!



biffbampow 17th May 2015		Excellent album - one of the very few parody albums that works and is genuinely funny. Why Barry Gibb didn't see the funny side when he thought Kenny Everett's Bee Gees parodies were great is bizarre. My faves on here? The Bowie one always creases me up being a dead on send up of the Scary Monsters era with moronic answering backing vocals "Just look at that dress... as for his teeth..." The Quo one with it's "Another line... another line... another boring line..." which makes one wonder if the Heebeegeebees knew of their notorious love of coke! The Police one is insanely catchy and Larry Pilsson wailing away in oh so self pity is a treat. The final track depicting an all star gig from Hell always gets me going too with the moronic Neil Dung and Bob Vylan making way for Leonard Crowing, Frank Sumatra, Dean Martian, and George Harrassing cameos... wonderful! What more can I say?



RogerFoster 6th Feb 2015		Some of the songs on this had previously been featured on a BBC Radio 4 comedy show called "Radio Active", details of which can be found here, which was a send-up of the "Pop & Prattle" format of certain British Commercial Radio Stations of the time. I remember that when this came out the track "Meaningless Songs in Very High Voices" (which has certain similarities to Bee-Gee songs like "Too Much Heaven") was played on BBC Radio 1's Friday evening new-release review show for the guests to comment upon. One of the studio guests was Barry Gibb and lets just say ... he didn't appreciate the joke!! LOL.



Record Collector 5th Feb 2015		Reminds me of Australian group wickety wack they were fanastic sending up almost everything

gregs45s SUBS ● 5th Oct 2013		Despite the blatant cash-in on iconic album artwork(check out the back cover!),this is hilarious:),basically soundalikes borrowing heavily on original riffs,with altered lyrics:)
