Why can’t the people of Britain stop the tyranny of The X Factor by getting behind the songs of a real British icon?
The first time I heard what follows I wasn’t sure if this was a deliberate act of comic genius. I know now that it was.
So here it is Dean Park’s tribute to wee Andy Webber
I’d still back Buckley’s Hallelujah, but I remember that Dean Park thing well. I laughed till I could hardly breathe. That chipper delivery of — magic.
I found it hysterically funny the first time I saw him perform it – and then thought was he serious or did he mean to be funny? It’s apparent that it’s the latter. And for me the whole “I don’t know how to love him” sequence with “I’ve had so many men before in oh so many ways” chanted while he was marching up and down like a drum major was the highlight.
Scott
Oh, gods, yes. I remember the first time I saw it there was a gap of about five seconds before what he was doing actually hit us and then we just couldn’t stop laughing.
Gobsmacking.Truly.
IT loses a lot when you don’t see the portly frame of Mr Park – done up in HIghland dress, as he marches back and forth and adopts Andy Stewart mannerisms to encourage the participation of the audience. With this, surely the British people could get the Christmas number one they deserve
Especially if it came with a free packet of shortbread. As surely it should.
I think it’s fair to say I will now regard the work of Messrs. Lloyd Webber and Park in a completely new light.
I won’t ask if that’s a good thing or bad thing…
Surely a harmonica based medley of Webber classics (!!) would be worth the price of admission?
I think my comment should remain deliberately ambiguous!
I have been told that the definition of a gentleman is someone who can play all of Andy Webber’s works on the moothie, but doesn’t!
Very good
Here’s an idea ..
Yeah I’m fed up with X Factor getting to number 1.
If we ALL get behing the SAME single for Christmas 2009 then I’m sure we’ll knock X Factor off the top spot.
I know it’s early days but we need to get the ball rolling now! Please support http://www.thecfactor.co.uk and we’ll do it!
