Richard Thompson deliberately taking a magazine joking commission at their word. Ending with a display of what you can do with a bit of musical fluff.

Talking of pastiche...

I saw this mob live, they were superb. They were funky as Hell but did stuff like this too. I remember the singer picking up the guitarist and ramming him headfirst onto the bass bins during a Staus Quo piss-take,



This was the B Side of White Punks On Dope, a Tubes 12" single I bought.



And then there's Zappa, complete with authentic crackles, pops, and scratches.

Kenny Everett - The Worlds Worst Record Show

No 1.



And a bonus - George Melly and John Chilton's Feetwarmers


and all these Yellow Warnings for Snow keep bringing back a Zappa track for me.

Fleetwood Mac and Peter Green filling in a lacunae in Blues songs about masculine sex



Frank Zappa, where every musical phrase seems to be calling Colonel Bogey to the last
