Bill Bailey does Kraftwerk

I spent all morning trying to find a clip of Bill Bailey doing a bit of Jean Michel Jarre - eventually found it at the end of 'Bewilderness', but it wasn't as good as I remembered (see it here).

So, instead, here's Bill's tribute to Kraftwerk, which was the final bit of his 'Part Troll'. Much more to be found on YouTube.

Looks like I need to explain. This was a comedy show by the English comedian Bill Bailey, and he does mix a bit of music into his shows. The clip I posted was from the end of his show, and people are laughing because it is very funny. No, really it is.

Why? Well, Bill Bailey is English, and his audience is English (sorry, Welsh). He was doing a spoof of Kraftwerk, a German band who did a lot of progressive electronic music. The song that Bill is singing is "The Hokey Cokey", in German. It's like Metalica doing Old Macdonald, or Gwen Stefani singing Baa Baa Blacksheep.

Sorry - I'll have to do better next time.
