    Steve Coogan is the one man who managed to sing an irish rebel song on the BBC. That man is a legend

      Double O feckin bollocks!
      There is a backstory to this, if I remember correctly. Rod Stewart wanted to do the songs um-comedically and was slapped down by the BBC.
      But Coogan slipped it through. Bloody genius (and I'm British).

      Not really its all been done before, Peter Paul and Mary sang The Rising of The Moon at the BBC back in 1965, a song about the 1798 rebellion, how much more of an Irish Rebel Song can you get? Besides, come out ye Black and Tans lyrics are in actual fact Behan's sarcastic slur / insult on some Irish people not the English as the "The English" in the song were actually an Irish family, not English. But to be fair Partridge's Irish accent is brilliant.

      @@Lissadell1916 Thanks for the information! I am not irish and I was not aware of Peter Paul and Mary's performance in the 60s. However (please correct me if i'm wrong) i was under the impression that 1965 was before the Troubles. I had no idea about the sarcastic tone of Come Out Ye Black and Tans.

      @@josemaria8177 The troubles in Ireland have been going on for 500 years so nothing new there and hence most Irish rebel songs are about events well before 1965, like the Black and Tans which was from 1920 of course (although the song was written much later). The man who wrote the song was Dominic Behan (Brendans brother) and the "loving English feet" in the song was about their grandmother "Christine English" (that was her name not her nationality) born Christine Corr in Ireland who re-married an Irishman called Patrick English. Christine English was a natorious Dublin slum landlady who Dominic hated due to the way she treated Dominic's mother and father like shit and the song was a tribute to Dominic's father (Stephan Behan) who was one of Mick Collin's 12 apostles during the WOI but was a strong anti treaty man during the Irish anti treaty (Civil) War. Hence "the loving English Feet" was about the English "family" not the English nationality as the song was written about the 1930's" long after the creation of the Irish Free State (forced upon the 26 counties verses the 32 counties of Ireland) in 1921/22.

      I heard he had a bet with a friend he could get away with it. It was so cleverly done, because in the same scene he has Alan Partridge complaining about it and everyone else looking awkward. My hat goes off to whoever plays "Double O Seven fecking bollocks", it's a great performance, going from nodding benignly along with the music with a slightly patronising air, to raising his eyebrows pointedly at Alan P and then sitting there positively radiating frosty disapproval

The genius is layered through, and it takes a few watches to catch it all, but the bigger picture is also just... wild! From the fake teeth to the lazy eye, the hooisms, just how did he get it past the BBC governance processes! Absolutely incredible - and all washed down with "Double'O Feckin Bollocks" and "Find out who booked them and sack her". 🤣

      @@MotherAlgorithm stereotypes can be funny, if they're done right and by the right person. It can't come off as a put down of someone in a lesser position by a person in a more powerful position. In this case you have the funny stereotype but the "Irishman" is actually the one with the power in this sketch.

'Normally, you are a farmer in the west of Ireland'..... Brennan answers 'I am' . Irish people will have copped this straight away. Will you have a cup of tea?. ... Answer is 'I will'. 'Is the weather bad?' Answer 'it is'.
