Anyone else a fan of Michael Fry on Twitter? Well known internet clips made into indie songs, very fun to listen to. 'Ronnie Pickering', 'zip up your mickey', 'how to flush a toilet/ disgustin', 'Dave is dead'

He also does a disturbing Aidan Gillen impersonation

Ronnie Pickering one is particularly good.

Indie bands! There are no bad musicians just indie musicians. If you threw a rock out of a bus speeding through a university canvas you would hit the lead singer of a "promising Indie band".

People who say 'social media is bad' need to follow more accounts like Michael Fry.

His Nadine Coyle song is fantastic.

Humour is a tough gig.

Zip Up Your Mickey (zip it up, zip it up) is an absolute banger, but then the source material was iconic in fairness.

mrsdewinter · 03-02-2021 4:09am

Yup, he's hilarious - his indie take on Tony McGregor and the Dart ticket change is wonderful.

I only stumbled across him a few weeks ago. I think he’s brilliant

Lillyfae · 03-02-2021 10:37am

Oh that is hilarious

lucalux · 03-02-2021 10:47am

This lad is brilliant, love the Twink one...

...but I NEED the "CopYourself On" Capri Sun tee

As good as anything picture this academical green have put out.

Dial Hard · 03-02-2021 1:18pm

I love his stuff. The Sean Burke Show is also well worth a follow.

First I’ve heard of him so I just had a nosey on his Twitter. Found “David’s Dead”. The best bit of live television I had ever watched.

Apparently Twink now ‘laughs’ at the whole thing. That said she has a fair mouth on her all the same

I wonder who leaked the voicemail in the first place?

I've spent the day trying to stop singing "I hope you and your bastard and your whore rot in hell" to myself while waiting on Teams calls to start :pac:

Folsom Prison Blues but it's Horse Outside is well worth a listen.

She certainly does, the 'bastard' references are a bit hard to listen to in the original recording.

Wasn't that the time the newspapers were just trying everyone's voicemail because most of them weren't password protected?
