Bill Oddie used to write a song a week for I'm Sorry I'll Read That Again, some of them were gems. Only a couple out of over a hundred get mentioned any more. The same thing's happening to Mitch Benn's contributions to the Now Show. This was one of a couple he sang today - punchy, relevant and worth noting.There's a land far away, where men are truly free
With no government on their backs, they walk in liberty
And they stand upon their own two feet, and live just how they please
Til they get killed in some tribal conflict, or die of a curable disease
It's Somalia, Somalia, land of libertarian dreams
Somalia, Somalia, just ignore the screams
Of the victims of warlords and pirates and gangs
And gunfire and shelling, explosions and bangs
It's the way of the future, you know
And it's where everyone who thinks all governments are bad and unnecessary ought to go
Mitch Benn, 2nd July 2010, The Now Show, Radio 4.

When flower power came along I stood for Human Rights, marched around for peace and freedom, had some nooky every night - we took it serious.

I have just for the first time in my life listened to and not only is the keyboard player instantly recognizable, so also is the vocalist when he finally comes in two thirds of the way through...

Wasn't he just. The keyboard was parodying his own playing but young William was playing it straight down the line.
Thinking of others who have performed the same role, Jake Thackray and Doc Cox spring to mind.
