Meanwhile, bogus "musical" acts like Geese get to be on Saturday Night Live.
I don't get it. 😎

Have MLT ever toured in the States? They should!!!
Captain Al
I'm pretty sure they haven't, but if they did I'd go to see 'em in a heartbeat. 😎
Their originals just keep getting better.
Nice. Listening to it with my MLT mouse pad besides me.
That is SOOOO cool. Hey, waitaminit -- I want one. Can I assume it's available on their website?
If I may... What you don't get is that somewhere along the line (perhaps when sampling began) commercial acts got lazy and decided that beats and eccentric presentation would do and writing melodies was too much bother and therefore uncool.
I got it in a package deal from them years ago - with cds, buttons, a coffee mug, a lanyard and the mouse pad. I don't see it on their website now.
I think you’re on to something there, my friend. 😎
There is genuine musicianship and wit in the lyrics, which disqualifies them for SNL. I haven't watched the show since the days of Phil Hartman. Sure, I am an old fart but that just means I have well defined taste (maybe not yours tho). I didn't miss a thing because YouTube showed me the Alec Baldwin and Larry David spoofs of political figures (ain't none of them "leaders")
