Which British music mockumentary or comedy song still makes you properly laugh?
Britain has a proud tradition of taking the mickey out of itself through music. From spoof bands to novelty hits, which one still tickles you the most?
Put the items in your preferred order.
A
Spinal Tap - These Go to Eleven
Though technically a US film, its skewering of British rock excess is spot on. The 'one louder' scene is quoted in pubs to this day.
B
The Mighty Boosh - Future Sailors
Noel Fielding and Julian Barratt turned surreal into song with crimping and ΡΠΈΠ½thy weirdness. Peak BBC Three energy.
C
Flight of the Conchords style Brit acts - Bill Bailey's Kraftwerk
Bill Bailey reimagining British party classics as brooding electronica remains a masterclass in musical parody.
D
The Rutles - All You Need Is Cash
Eric Idle's pre-Spinal Tap mockumentary about the 'Prefab Four' is affectionate, sharp and full of genuinely catchy tunes.
E
Peter Kay - Amarillo
Kay's video with half of British telly marching along turned a Tony Christie B-side into a national singalong. Pure joy.
