The Spitting Image Music Thread
« on: February 17, 2020, 03:01:32 PM »
Back in the 80's and early 90's here in The UK we had a satirical puppet show called 'Spitting Image' it mostly lampooned politicians and the royals but celebrities including musicians were fair game too.

I loved the show - this thread is for some of the best music sketches.

I liked one of the episode closing songs called 'Charles Life' about Prince Charles based on the Blur song Parklife.  "All the people, so many people, and we all prefer his wife, dun dun dun, Charles Life."

I can't find the clip.

An American show, sending up Americans, written by a team of American scriptwriters, don't expect it to be ball bouncingly funny like Spitting Image used to be.
