*This is a very, very niche joke that requires prior knowledge of French mime tradition and the music of Lindisfarne Ft. Gazza

🤔

Yeah, got it first time.

Let’s just say it didn’t get any better with the explanation and leave it at that…

Harsh.

Also: fair.

🤓

Not that Gazza was feat. in the original, which some of us are old enough to remember. In fact I think Gazza’s rendition may have passed me by.

I only knew the Gazza version until seeing the original on TOTP2

And mimes wear hoops, not stripes.

I KNOW I KNOW, YOU DON’T UNDERSTAND HOW ANNOYING THIS JOKE IS TO ME, IT ALMOST WORKS BUT NOT REALLY

Queens Park wear black and white hoops.

It is rather unfortunate that they don’t have the required river.

Yet somehow I fall within such a niche… not sure how but I do 😂

I’m not proud of this, by the way, but sometimes you just have to post something to stop your brain obsessing over it

I'm not proud either, because I bought the actual single 😳

I know what you mean. For a few years I tried to work Wijnaldum and Dummett into a movie related joke.

Yes, but even still....
