WWII Pilot Boy Band
My daughter was watching the BBC children's programme, Horrible Histories and a section showing Charles Darwin singing about natural selection caught my eye. Then this came on - at 6.45pm, on CBBC, one of two childrens' BBC channels. It is completely trippy. Douglas Bader's return to the RAF is compared to Robbie Williams rejoining Take That. I don't know how much of a message it gets across to kids, but some of it might stick. I was laughing out loud while thinking 'They can get away with this?' It's like Monty Python for under-10s.
Listen hard to the lyrics. G

Absolutely brilliant. Irreverent yet respectful, daft yet educational. And good rhymes.
Agree entirely with Mick P . . . wasn't sure what to expect, better than not addressing the significance of it all, which seems to have been the case til now, whatever works I say.
Makes me want to crack open a Spitfire Kentish Ale but it is only 8:45 Sunday morning.
