Tickling Tunes - a History of Comic SongNew series

BBC Radio 4
on BBC Radio 4 FM

1/4. Satire. Roy Hudd begins this history by proving that the satirical song is not the exclusive province of upmarket performers and is by no means restricted to politics. Wonderful musical examples and interviews illustrate how the nature of satire can, according to the attitude of the time, shift between the savage and the (almost) affectionate. Producer Karl Phillips
