Saturday Morning Music: Kit & The Widow’s “The Swan” + Bonus Vid

This clip links to Monday’s Tim Minchin track because both songs were part of the repertoire in the BBC’s first ever Comedy Prom on August 13, which was a total hoot despite some highbrow sniffing from pro critics. I imagine YouTubes of excerpts will become available soon if they haven’t already. Meanwhile, here’s Kit & The Widow’s adaptation of Saint-Saens’ “The Swan.”

Since we appear to have a few of his fans in the house, more Tim Minchin after the fold. As ever, treat this as an open thread if you want.

Also. Note the sticky at the top of the page. Now’s your chance to say goodbye to captcha rage and say hello to the freedom to join us in posting nonsense in the ever-rollicking Rumper Room.

Yay, No More Captcha! You cannot imagine how many times I gave up commenting because of error messages. What can I say, I am not a patient woman?

Yahoo! When do I learn the secret handshake?

Does anybody remember where we stashed the chicken suits, vat of racoon dripping, and cilantro flails for the hazing ceremonies?

“Probationer First Class” or “Supplicant.” Your choice. We’re loose about the hierarchy here.

Speak for yourself. My hierarchy’s toned to within an inch of its life and has a sixpack on its sixpack.

Excellent!

Just so long as it doesn’t conflict with my work in the International Banking Conspiracy. That’s my passion. Conspiring internationally with banks.

Welcome aboard all. I can’t remember when (last summer?) I saw the registration thing and thought “what the heck.” Never been to the rumperroom, but certainly enjoy not worrying about commenting captchas.
