Matt Berry (Laszlo from 'What We Do In The Shadows') has a ridiculous BBC comedy called Toast of London and every episode features what I thought was a famous classic pop song from the 60s or 70s. I finally looked it up and it's Matt Berry's own song: www.youtube.com/watch?v=xCij... - ThreadSky

YES I CAN HEAR YOU CLEM FANDAGO

tylerdoestoomuch.bsky.social•36 days ago

I recommend IT Crowd if you’ve never seen it. Was my first exposure to him and now I watch/listen to everything he does.

Toast of London has brought me such joy right now

moliaudrey.bsky.social•36 days ago

all mat berry songs are great if you like 60's britt folk inspired music

danielazerlauth.bsky.social•36 days ago

He’s a phenomenal artist. Love his songs. Glad more people are finding out about him.

szokovacs.bsky.social•36 days ago

I saw him in IT crowd and noted he is funny, but I became a fan when I heard him narrating a nature show. I just lost it when I heard him say 'sexual'...

crypticus.bsky.social•36 days ago

His albums are great.

el-bo.bsky.social•36 days ago

Matt is a demi god of entertainment

bangerangeliko.bsky.social•36 days ago

Love "Toast of London". Because my mom doesnt speak clearly sometimes, leading to many frustrating moments, i made her notification tone "Yes I can hear you Clem Fandango" from that series

bangerangeliko.bsky.social•36 days ago

would also reccomend his song from Garth Marenghis Dark Place

reluctantmonk.bsky.social•36 days ago

OK, so you need to watch Snuff Box if you're going down this road.

blatherwincerepeat.bsky.social•36 days ago

He was also terrific in "Garth Marenghi's Darkplace."

pandolin.bsky.social•36 days ago

Nothing I could have done would have mentally prepare for that show.

blatherwincerepeat.bsky.social•36 days ago

Same.

devh.bsky.social•36 days ago

Yeah!! They have all 6 episodes on prime now. He also sings in one of them with Richard Ayoade (Morris Moss) with an 80s style rap!

grrrz.bsky.social•36 days ago

And snuff box

elrojonico.bsky.social•36 days ago

Matt berry is a very talented musician. His album Music for Insomniacs is amazing

postpunkjustin.bsky.social•36 days ago

That preview shows him going from Laszlo to Lalo.

cockatielmolotova.bsky.social•36 days ago

Oh wow it really does sound spot on!

cactrot.bsky.social•36 days ago

He did the same for another show he was on, Snuffbox with Matt Fulcher.

lauryndragon.bsky.social•35 days ago

I only had access to the (first?) season on Netflix. That being said, I watched and rewatched probably ten times. It was one of the most entertaining shows I have ever watched and it left a void, lol

wrdface.bsky.social•36 days ago

He's made a few albums of odd, quirky stuff - recommended!

colinbrady.bsky.social•36 days ago

Steven, this is Clem Fandango.

timkocher.bsky.social•36 days ago

YES I CAN HEAR YOU CLEM FANDANGO

As long as we're talking WWDITS, his on-screen wife, Natalia Demetriou, starts with her brother on the unbelievably funny Stath Lets Flats, which might still be on Max.

mrprincess.bsky.social•36 days ago

I hear she's doing very well at dance college

jetobal.bsky.social•36 days ago

Clem Fandango remains one of the best fictional names ever conceived of.

radleybalko.bsky.social•36 days ago

Love that wonderfully absurd show. There’s a spinoff in which he goes to Hollywood that’s even weirder.

catharsis23.bsky.social•36 days ago

There's a spinoff!?!!?!?

culpablynegligent.bsky.social•36 days ago

Toast of Tinseltown

erichwanh.bsky.social•36 days ago

Official video from Acid Jazz Records (... how was that re-up found when this is like the first video?)

https://youtu.be/Rdqu-HObUbo

culpablynegligent.bsky.social•36 days ago

Some TikTokker used this song to soundtrack their ‘deeply sad’ video and it just made me laugh thinking about all the amazing character names in Toast of London, which is the best TV programme ever made

justinagain.bsky.social•36 days ago

Ray Purchase 👌

kynex.bsky.social•36 days ago

Matt Berry is wonderful ❤️

therealogiwan.bsky.social•36 days ago

I have loved the guys since I first saw him on The IT Crowd. He’s been great in everything. But my most favorite is the episode of @garthmarenghi.bsky.social Dark Place where he has to pull a second gun and shoot his first gun after it is possessed. And Jackie Daytona…

sacredcommodities.bsky.social•36 days ago

He's just a regular human bartender!

nakedgambling.bsky.social•36 days ago

He was one of the two good parts of The IT Crowd imo (along with Chris Morris.) A mediocre show that was only good when one of those men were on screen.

oldtrev.bsky.social•36 days ago

I loved his character on the Mighty Boosh

anthonywmoore.bsky.social•36 days ago

RAY PURCHASE!!!!!

It and the songs written for each episode are the type of songs that feel so familiar as soon as you hear them.
