The Daily Mail song
Hello all,
A few people have asked for this as an mp3. Go on then, help yourself:
And if you haven’t seen the vid, WHERE YOU BEEN?! It’s here:
See you anon.

Now that is Genius!
March 29th, 2010 at 2:11 pm
Well, that makes me want to buy it again, thanks! It’s good fun, you don’t take it seriously, do you?
March 29th, 2010 at 3:55 pm
… it’s absolutely true because I read it in The Daily Mail… song stuck in head… thanks!
March 29th, 2010 at 4:34 pm
Super, brilliant, you know need to make it number one. bring attention to the dull climate that Britain as become.
The nice thing is that all you sing about is true! B x
March 29th, 2010 at 5:36 pm
Wonderful.
March 29th, 2010 at 7:46 pm
Fine work! Many thanks!
March 29th, 2010 at 7:55 pm
Great video. Very funny, but I as a foreigner doubt those headlines can be true. Who would read that??
March 29th, 2010 at 10:06 pm
Genius. Love the Dylanesque video aswell.
Am directing all virtual friends your way.
March 29th, 2010 at 10:24 pm
Beautiful!
Are these all real headlines??
March 29th, 2010 at 11:15 pm
I love it, gave me a right Belly Laugh,
March 30th, 2010 at 1:33 pm
A work of genius dear boy. ‘Tis spreading like wild fire around facebook as we speak. Good work that man.

March 30th, 2010 at 6:50 pm
I was hoping so much that this would be downloadable! Cheers Dan(s), this is now the theme song to my research proposal ^_^
March 30th, 2010 at 8:42 pm
i was just downloading this song, after watching the vid on tabloid watch, and i thought, it would be a shame to download it without thanking you for singing it and saying that you’re doing very well as a double act. so thanks for writing and singing this.
grilly.
March 30th, 2010 at 10:58 pm
Oh I’m so happy my facebook friend posted a link to this! Can’t wait to watch all the other videos. Dan, are you two related?

Spot on and a wonderful return to the idea of satire tells the truth.
March 31st, 2010 at 3:47 pm
Brilliant, made my day.
March 31st, 2010 at 3:49 pm
You should sell it as a ringtone!
March 31st, 2010 at 10:27 pm
Dan and Dan. May I be so bold as to suggest a new title that for this really clever song of yours:
Subeditorial Headline Blues.
April 1st, 2010 at 5:41 pm
Just got this posted at I-AM-BORED for you chap.

Hope you don’t mind.
April 2nd, 2010 at 9:27 pm
You may be so bold, and I agree that is indeed very clever. But probably too late for this one… I might put it in the sidebar. Haha!
April 2nd, 2010 at 9:28 pm
No, just a strong resemblance (can’t see it myself). We were doomed to collaborate artistically.
April 2nd, 2010 at 9:29 pm
No probs, any time
April 2nd, 2010 at 9:30 pm
You’d be surprised.
April 3rd, 2010 at 1:25 am
Is there any chance of seeing copies of your mock-up front pages? It seems there’s other little gems hiding in the minor headlines as well but they flash by so quickly. Love your videos. Thank you for sharing with the world.
April 3rd, 2010 at 2:13 pm
Cracking stuff, very well observed. I recently did a spoof piece on the just-as-bad Daily Express, if anyone wants a look: http://www.chrisbardell.com/?p=1414
April 4th, 2010 at 7:02 pm
Love it! Totally awesome
April 6th, 2010 at 2:22 am
Dan, could you thank Dan for his excellent song. Thanks.

There is indeed. ‘Twould be a shame to let them go to waste. We’re currently away at the moment though so expect an update when we’re back in a few weeks…
April 6th, 2010 at 6:55 am
Brilliant! Just one question, which one of you will answer the door when Lord “The Viscount” Rothermere comes a knockin’?
April 7th, 2010 at 1:15 pm
LOVED IT!! absolutely loved it!!
Where can I get a copy of those papers??
Have you got a facebook group? (I hate facebook but I’d join that one!)
April 10th, 2010 at 9:22 am
Absolutely brilliant. My mother should be a Daily Mail sponsor. This has now been entered into my phone Mp3 library and I have asked my friend to teach me guitar surely so I can learn it and play it at our local jam night. Subject to you agreeing of course. Thank you for making me laugh out loud. fantastic. Cher x
April 12th, 2010 at 7:39 pm
I watched this interesting performance under the impression that it was satirical.
Then I saw this:
it is true
April 13th, 2010 at 1:03 am
Cheers, we’re glad. There is a facebook group my mate set up years ago, but it needs better admin – keep meaning to do it properly, and will do soon. Stay tuned.
April 13th, 2010 at 1:05 am
Good luck playing it – the chords are easy, but my guitar was very out of tune, so you may find it hard playing along to the actual vid. But the chords are like G, D, C. That’s it I think.
April 13th, 2010 at 1:05 am
Oh jesus no. Unbelievable. Thanks for sharing that…
April 13th, 2010 at 3:14 am
you’re amazing!
April 13th, 2010 at 9:46 pm
Hey, as a Guardian reading lefty I’m appalled at my mother’s daily purchase of the Daily Mail. Its a shocking bad “news” paper. I thought this song might make her see the light but she failed to grasp the irony in her delight. Why, some might ask, does it matter if the daily mail exists? Well it matters because people are sheep and the Daily Mail is a bad shepherd.
April 13th, 2010 at 10:06 pm
More! more! awesomely sad but oh so true…
April 15th, 2010 at 12:23 pm
I would pay to see you play that at Glastonbury.
April 17th, 2010 at 11:19 am
Hi Dan,
Great song! I organise the Musical Comedy Awards, a competition to promote the best emerging musical comedians in the UK! We actually just had the final at the end of March at the New Players Theatre and were Guardian Pick of the Week and Time Out Critics Choice. Would love to invite you to play at a show in the future if you were ever up for it! And if you ever wanted to upload some of your songs to the site http://www.musicalcomedy.co.uk that would be great too!
Best wishes,
Ed
April 17th, 2010 at 12:01 pm
HILARIOUS!
April 22nd, 2010 at 4:31 pm
Absolutely fantastic. I’ve watched it ten times and I’m still laughing.
April 25th, 2010 at 10:40 pm
Good point brilliantly put sir.
April 25th, 2010 at 10:47 pm
Hilarious video! Are the headlines real? I tried to find some of them but without much success. They aren’t all front page stories but were they minor headlines?
April 25th, 2010 at 10:49 pm
I’m afraid they’re not real, no. Some people seem to call this cheating. I call it poetic license.
Glad you like it anyway! If it’s any consolation they certainly COULD be real.
April 26th, 2010 at 6:55 pm
very very good
April 27th, 2010 at 12:21 pm
Wonderful stuff chaps! I kind of was hoping it was reverse thinking and funded by the Mail but then i realised to have reverse thinking you’ve got to have any kind of thinking in the first place! Glad to have found your blog. Delving into your archives with glee (ooer!)
April 29th, 2010 at 1:56 pm
Genius sir!! Well done – definitely brightened my day
April 30th, 2010 at 12:33 pm
Today’s news, tomorrow’s fish and chip paper. Excellent stuff. I can vouch for your accuracy, but not so much for the Daily Mail’s.

May 5th, 2010 at 8:39 am

In the immortal words of Homer Simpson, “It’s funny ’cause it’s true.” Sheer genius in the spirit of the great Tom Lehrer. By the way, did you guys have solo careers before you got together?

Yes, we did in fact. Although in Dans case he had been trying to launch a concept channel in which it looked like he was talking to himself. It didn’t work at all. It’s lucky we met really.
