"Turd on a Wire" - Marsh Family parody of Cohen's "Bird on the Wire" about Elon Musk's UK Tweeting

Happy New Year to all! In recent days, richest-man-in-the-world Elon Musk's strange ranting about the UK has dominated the British media - with his bizarre and dangerous unfounded accusations, calls for elections, misquoting of misinformation, doubling down, and targeting leaders of parties including PM Keir Starmer, Ed Davey, and Nigel Farage (who he deemed not the right man to lead the right). Much of this relates to Musk's fanatical support of anti-Islam activist Tommy Robinson, currently serving time in prison for repeated contempt of court. Details of the background can be found here: https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cn7r0pzz57vo The simple but powerful country song, written by Leonard Cohen in 1968 (on his 1969 album "Songs from a Room") has been covered by innumerable artists - and we listened to lots as we figured it out, landing on a favourite arrangement by k.d. lang in her powerful "Hymns of the 49th Parallel" in 2004. We probably should have sorted mics for everyone (esp Ella) to do full justice, but it's first week back at school, so it was a quick turnaround - and we're planning to return to cover the original properly for some upcoming performances. ___________________________ Support us here: - PayPal to leave us a tip jar: https://paypal.me/marshfamilysongs - Patreon for ongoing support & bonuses: https://www.patreon.com/marshfamilysongs Find our other channels here: https://linktr.ee/marshfamilysongs Follow us here: - https://www.marshfamilysongs.com - https://www.facebook.com/MarshFamilySongs/ - https://www.instagram.com/marshfamilysongs/ - https://twitter.com/MarshSongs - https://www.threads.net/@marshfamilysongs - https://www.tiktok.com/@marshfamilysongs - https://bsky.app/profile/marshfamilysongs.bsky.social - https://artists.spotify.com/c/artist/6AYmbCwi92V29y69lkRkRa/ ___________________________ THANKS SO MUCH TO OUR PATREONS, AND ESPECIALLY OUR HOWLERS: Alyssa Sangeeta Jacobson Memorial Fund Andy Riches Carol Leff Clarence Smith Cliff Hope Dan McColm Dave Lee David Patrao David Ryan Derrick Brown Dorettas Dozen Douglas Lind Frank Sanderson Grandad Lew LisaMarie Fitzpatrick Mike Smith Naresh Nagella Patricia Saucier Richard Boultbee Sandra Vernooy Simon Haslam Geeta & Karen
