Riotous Bill Bailey
Trust me, unless you've ever heard of Bill Bailey (and I haven't), you haven't seen anything like this. Bill Bailey re-invents the British national anthem (he's British) as one of those moody, angst-ridden, pop-indie pieces. Humor's always been about putting disparate ideas in a mix, and realizing the humor in it. In the process, Bailey pokes fun at anthems, and the kind of self-important, "woe is me" artists that produce not only this kind of music, the the video backdrop that you see (I recall watching "Doves" from Britain do something like this).
Take a gander.
