i was just downloading this song, after watching the vid on tabloid watch, and i thought, it would be a shame to download it without thanking you for singing it and saying that you’re doing very well as a double act. so thanks for writing and singing this.

Spot on and a wonderful return to the idea of satire tells the truth.
You may be so bold, and I agree that is indeed very clever. But probably too late for this one… I might put it in the sidebar. Haha!

No, just a strong resemblance (can’t see it myself). We were doomed to collaborate artistically.
By admin April 2, 2010 - 9:29 pm
No probs, any time 🙂

Is there any chance of seeing copies of your mock-up front pages? It seems there’s other little gems hiding in the minor headlines as well but they flash by so quickly. Love your videos. Thank you for sharing with the world.
Cracking stuff, very well observed. I recently did a spoof piece on the just-as-bad Daily Express, if anyone wants a look: http://www.chrisbardell.com/?p=1414
Dan, could you thank Dan for his excellent song. Thanks.

Brilliant! Just one question, which one of you will answer the door when Lord “The Viscount” Rothermere comes a knockin’? 😉
Absolutely brilliant. My mother should be a Daily Mail sponsor. This has now been entered into my phone Mp3 library and I have asked my friend to teach me guitar surely so I can learn it and play it at our local jam night. Subject to you agreeing of course. Thank you for making me laugh out loud. fantastic. Cher x

Cheers, we’re glad. There is a facebook group my mate set up years ago, but it needs better admin – keep meaning to do it properly, and will do soon. Stay tuned.
By admin April 13, 2010 - 1:05 am
Good luck playing it – the chords are easy, but my guitar was very out of tune, so you may find it hard playing along to the actual vid. But the chords are like G, D, C. That’s it I think.
By admin April 13, 2010 - 1:05 am
Oh jesus no. Unbelievable. Thanks for sharing that…
Hey, as a Guardian reading lefty I’m appalled at my mother’s daily purchase of the Daily Mail. Its a shocking bad “news” paper. I thought this song might make her see the light but she failed to grasp the irony in her delight. Why, some might ask, does it matter if the daily mail exists? Well it matters because people are sheep and the Daily Mail is a bad shepherd.
Great song! I organise the Musical Comedy Awards, a competition to promote the best emerging musical comedians in the UK! We actually just had the final at the end of March at the New Players Theatre and were Guardian Pick of the Week and Time Out Critics Choice. Would love to invite you to play at a show in the future if you were ever up for it! And if you ever wanted to upload some of your songs to the site http://www.musicalcomedy.co.uk that would be great too!
