OMG it's the Eton-educated bastard child bastard of Mike Skinner and Jimmy Tamborello during downtime on the set of Two Pints and a Packet of Crisps.

Which is a High Compliment in my book. More, please, more.

Damn skippy. I could listen to you read posts all day, with or without a backing track. However, I mentally added cortex at the end saying "LOL." It's a filthy habit I'm trying to shake.

Excellent! I was waiting for this....I tried the same thing, but your accent works so much, much better ( Mine is English, but not quite saaarfenuff, yeah? )

Again - superb.

I always listen to these parody/site themed type things, always enjoy and generally end up favouriting. But if I had to choose just one favourite to hand out for the genre, this would get it. This, this is genius.

And should totally be required listening for anyone signing up with a new account.

You magnificent bastard.

(I was sooo going to do this myself if I ever found myself with a spare week or two and a previously undiscovered level of talent.)

Completely wonderful. How close to your original accent is this? Delete the FAQ now, and leave this masterpiece in its stead.

Seconding roofus; this should be the new MeFi FAQ.

Seconding the video request! (and this as the FAQ would be ten degrees of awesome)

The original video is mostly readily identifiable bits of EC1, so all we need is a video camera and oodles of Chris's free time.

Is it some sort of serendipitous coincidence that this is thread number 1142?

If 'serendipitous' means 'totally awesome', then yes.

At the risk of returning to the same topic week in, week out, I woke up after last Tuesday's meetup to find that in my drunken haze I'd recorded myself lipsyncing this on my camera phone.

So, by popular request, here's the video (9.4 MB, MP4).

Oh my god, that video is brilliant. I didn't think I could like the song much more than I did.
