The Scottish Falsetto Sock Puppet Theatre sing a cautionary song to Justin Bieber, all about one of his predecessors Leif Garrett who, I've only just noticed, shares an easily confusable arrangement of the letters i and e in his name, a gag we totally forgot to put into the song.
In fact we wrote and recorded this video last week and I failed to post it up here on the blog. It already feels out of date just a few days later, so I can only apologise to posterity who must be wondering what a Justin Bieber was (or alternatively why people are singing such nasty things about President Bieber all those years ago).
A quick topical song is one of those things that so easy to write and which, if I had a regular gig on a weekly topical comedy show, would be a great skill to utilise. But topicality really is the route to obscurity, as these songs I've spotted from a year ago testify. Does anyone know why I would have bothered writing (and the Socks recording) songs about footballer Eden Hazard, and the closing of Blockbuster? Seemed a good idea at the time.
