It would appear so. I fear though that he may draw a court case out on technicalities until my £100 runs out

Right...I'm 'avin' it.. Thanks so much!

As for it being a character I just don't know.. I think it's a hybrid.. honestly

And I have done a Yes one...completely stream of consciousness rubbish..it's called ''Ponderous Stories That Go On For Bloody Weeks'' but it's NOT a jibe at Yes - it breaks off into memories of a tedious roadie I used to know  

Thank you very much for all this!



Brilliant stuff!

YES !...I remember seeing that on one his telecasts. I had totally forgotten about that. Of course, I remember thinking the same thing then...just bad Progyokee . LOL

There's something so comedically genius about the intentional mediocrity of these renditions. Sometimes I can't tell if it's a character, but I know exactly what you are aiming for with this video series and I want MORE. I'm the one who's been leaving comments on what I'd love to hear next! Can we expect "A Little Too Close to the Edge There, Mate"?

OMG ! That sounds like a really bad Klaus Nomi Impersonation. Ooh Aah, Ooh Aah indeed.
At least they got their name right. LOSERS.
But it does make me think...
What would a Klaus Nomi cover of ITCOTCK sound like?
I'm guessing it would have been awesome.
