LAST NIGHT OF THE POMS : GLOBAL BRITAIN’S SHOWPIECE MUSICAL EVENT The Proms has mixed up the song list for its famous last night in honour of the prime minister.
In a leaked memo seen by LCD Views the decision to replace ‘Land of Hope and Glory’ with the Benny Hill Theme Tune is revealed.
“It better reflects the playful side of modern Britain,” the memo explains, “where overweight middle aged men chase younger women about, essentially making nuisances of themselves. What better way to applaud the work of the prime minister?”
And it’s not just Land of Hope and Glory that has been targeted, a defensible decision as it aligns correctly with the directives of the trade descriptions act.
“Rule Britannia is also in for some changes,” the memo outlines, “the lyrics have not been changed but it will now be sung in Russian with an American accent. This better reflects the realities of Brexit Britain.”
To prepare the country for what will be a barnstorming performance of the Benny Hill theme tune on the last night, the BBC will be replaying all of the famous comic’s shows and parents are ordered to hum along until their children know the song by heart.
Critics have however leapt on the decision and castigated the BBC for choosing a song that soft peddles what is happening to the country under Boris Johnson.
“The theme song to ‘The Handmaid’s Tale’ would have been more suitable,” one claims, “as that would also give a nod to the USA and our special relationship, and a possible future.”
A suggestion that the theme tune to ‘Alien’ be used was dismissed out of hand because in “Brexit Britain everyone can hear you scream.”
