I can't believe this but as I found the Star Trekking video, If ound this from the British puppet show Spitting Image show. The Chicken song

I remember "Spitting Image" being on TV in Canada in the late 80s, but I didn't watch it so much because I often didn't get the jokes (probably because I didn't live in the UK). I liked "The Secret Diary of Adrian Mole" better. I think this song is funny, but I wouldn't want to hear it too often!

Uh....ok...... I do remember Spitting Image being on the air in the US for a bit. Or maybe I'm just thinking of the Genesis video for Land of Confusion...

Just for you Hino, Spitting Image

Ok, is it only me or did the US version sound vaguely familiar?? "The plot involved a conspiracy to replace Ronald Reagan with a double (actually actor Dustin Hoffman in disguise). This plan was hatched by the Famous Corporation, a cabal of the ultra-rich headed by Johnny Carson's foil Ed McMahon (in the show, Carson was his ineffectual left-hand man) .who met in a secret cavern hollowed out behind the facade of Mount Rushmore. Eventually, their plot foiled, the famous corporation activated their escape pod - Abraham Lincoln's nose - and left Earth for another planet, but (in a homage to the beginning of the Star Wars movies) were destroyed during a collision with 'a nonsensical prologue in gigantic lettering.'"

I need to do some research, so I will get back to you later.

I showed this to my DH to prove that brits have a sense of humour and can export stuff to drive people nutty!

Does DH believe you now?

I will always be indebted to the Brits for giving me Monty Python!
