Damn irony! (lyrics, music video, rock, Queen, track)

I can't decide if this is the greatest music video ever or the worst:

Right now I'm wondering who the poor saps are in the hot dog costumes. I wonder what they're doing today?

ROFL @ the "Hot Dogs!"

i kinda like the music ~ who is it?

The vid? i'd have to see the lyrics to see if the costumes and all were telling the story, or if they went off in another direction. Sometimes, when i don't 'get it,' i'll watch the vid with no sound and try to imagine the story that is being told.

Unfortunately, most of the time, the conclussion i have to come to is that the band thinks life's a joke!!!

According to the little info box that pops up at the beginning of the video the band is called Prefab Sprout and the song is called "The King of Rock 'n' Roll".

Yep; it's the first track on From Langely Park To Memphis. Decent album, but Two Wheels Good/Steve McQueen is far better.

You know, i think i'm going to be forced to have to get a d/l'er prog...

Are they free? (she asked, hopefully!

)

i have a HUGE h/d, so space is no prob.

On the other hand, i'll probably mess up using the d/l'er a couple of times...

Any recommendations would be appreciated!
