Funny Ha Ha and Funny La La
Ìý
Musical comedy is really tricky - for a start, you've doubled your work load. It has to be funny, of course, but a rubbish tune is still a rubbish tune. Fair play then to , who successfully mashed enough wit and decent songwriting/production for an entire set of beats and giggles at The Stiff Kitten during the week. 'Horse Outside' was no fluke - there were a whole mess of tracks on Wednesday night (almost all of which I daren't name) that we took home, stuck in our brains.
When it comes to comedic musicians, there's a couple of glaringly obvious references to take from the last few years. I'm not the biggest Mighty Boosh fan but have oodles of respect for Julian Barratt, blatantly an incredible musician who (I thought) was occasionally let down when it came to, you know, making us laugh.
on the other hand, have it absolutely nailed.
Seemingly endless tracks over two series - almost all of them properly brilliant songs and laugh out loud funny. 'The Most Beautiful Girl (in the Room)', 'Inner City Pressure', 'Foux Du Fafa' - they all get big laughs but (crucially) I'll never sicken of them, simply because they're proper, decent songs.
Then there's thisÌý- . One of my favourite tracks by any act from the last few years. At this stage I've forgotten the joke, it's become irrelevant. I reckon that's the finest compliment I can pay to the songwriting skills of my Kiwi heroes.
