A Million Little Fibers: Accents etc

Does anyone know what British accents are being imitated by Mingey and Gary in "A Million Little Fibers"? It also seems to me that one or more British actors/singers are being parodied in these characters' voices. Does anyone know who they might be?

After the episode first aired, someone speculated that they could have been doing Peter Cook and Dudley Moore from their infamous "Derek and Clive" recordings.

BTW, that was the first I'd ever heard about those recordings, which are extremely rude and crude and were originally done by Cook and Moore to amuse their friends. If you do some googling, you should be able to find some clips.

Back around circa 1980/ 15 t/o I came across 'Ad Nauseum', with the vomit plastic cover... I just had to buy it. Oh how impressed my parents were with that record.

Was "Ad Nauseum" the LP that seemed to have all the "songs" slowed down? The most disgusting and ridiculous ditty, featuring a woman from Amsterdam and where she cared to keep her shell-fish, is a highlight. Assuming that I'm on the right track, "Jump" is another. I haven't heard it for about 20 years, but I'll have a stab at some of the lyrics...

"Jump, you fucker jump Jump into this blanket here what we are holding And you will be alright. He jumped Hit the deck Broke his fucking neck There was no blanket"

Actually, the slowed down versions were on Filthy Fabulous Favourites or something like that. I've just found "Ad Nauseum" on the internet and there's no mention of the songs that I thought of. You might have to go and buy another one after all these years!!

No, not that I can think of?

Yeah, that one sticks out for sure :)

"I knew a lady in Amsterdam She stuffed her cunt up full of clams She was a very stupid fucking Dutch bitch

She had lobsters up the arse She was fucking working class She - was - a ..... Dutch bitch"

Which, of course, was preceded by my favourite bit:

"I'm a nigger and I fucked a white chick And I ain't ashamed I'm a nigger and I fucked a white chick And I ain't ashamed

I got no more lyrics I don't give a shit 'cause I've had some white cunt And I bit a white tit

Yes, yes, yes, yes I'm a nigger ..... and I fucked a white chick They never seem the same

Shit.

No, I-, I'm not, I'm not, I'm not a nigger, I'm a-, I'm white. Must be the-, must be the drugs makes you be like this, i'n'it? You want to get that, sort of, animal feel.

She wa-a-as a lady I was a tramp She liked scampi And her cunt was damp And I prodded it up And I prodded it in And I prodded it round And I thought: 'this is sin' But never mind NEVER MI-I-I-IND!! I'm a nigger, she's a white chick And love is colour blind

Not a bad lyric, that"

Mind you, I still don't know what 'Scampi' is... time for Google again. Ah, here we go (from wikipedia):

'Scampi is the plural of scampo, the Italian name for the Norway lobster (Nephrops norvegicus)'

Pretty close!

"As I was walking down the street one day I saw a house on fire There was man, shouting and screaming at an upper-storey window To the crowd that was gathered there below For he was sore afraid

Jump! You fucker, jump! Jump into this here blanket what we are holding And you will be all right He jumped, hit the deck, broke his fucking neck - There was no blanket

Laugh?! We nearly shat! We had not laughed so much since Grandma died Or Auntie Mabel caught her left tit in the mangle We are miserable sinners Fi-i-ilthy fuckers

Ahhhrrrr-soles"

Jump is from 'Live' the other two are on Ad Nauseum though.

Oh, I have it on CD as well, don't worry about that :) It and 'Come Again' sell for under $10 each on CD, so they're cheap to buy.

By chance, whilst I was wasting more money on eBay, I came across: http://cgi.ebay.com.au/DEREK-AND-CLIVE-Ad-Nauseam-CD-BRAND-NEW_W0QQitemZ110166739173QQihZ001QQcategoryZ307QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem

Fuck you. I didn't even want it but I just bought it!! At a fly poop under AU$10 (around US$8.25) including postage, it's a bargain!! Thanks for the link, Je�us. Science be praised for eBay and PayPal.

I have a love-hate relationship with eBay... but yeah, for tracking down shit, or at least hard to find shit, it's hard to beat. I spend a bloody fortune on there...

If by chance you have a JBHIFI nearby, you should be able to find 'Come Again' at around $7 as well.
