I really like the humerous in music, and got to wondering how many parodies of Fairport songs, or songs recorded by Fairport?
Fatty Groves by The Kipper Family is probably the gold standard*;
A Murder Ballad by Mrs Ackroyd Band also 'quotes' Matty Groves, and;
Dipsticks and Seals (Slip Jigs and reels) by the same artist qualifies.
Any others?
* When the Kippers supported Whipersnaper at Darlington Arts centre, a very pissed off looking Swarb appeared round the curtain as they performed this, much to the amusement of the audience.

Personally I wouldn't give him house room. Don't find him funny at all. But I'm in a minority.

See him Tasha.. go with an open mind.. you can't say you don't like him til you see him.. He makes me laff.. a lot!! Agreed - some of the humour is very clever, some of it falls on its face, but better then a night by the telly watching CSI:Middlesbrough or whatever they are up to nowadays. |

Laughing out loud at Few Woodlands Matty, and especially this verse:-
"Oh, I like recess your feather/spring bed and - recess,
Which I like, your pages however
Me likes your lady homosexual improves,
Who is appropriate for lord Darnell in my sleeping levers "
Heh.
