H and the other one from Steps that nobody remembers [logo] ROCK PROFILE Sir Elton John - sneers at Doris Droopydraws

Before there was Little Britain there was Rock Profile. Matt and David did their 'unimpressions' of pop stars, assisted by Jamie Theakston as Jamie Theakston. The idea was that they took a small aspect of these famous people and twisted it into a usually frightening new persona. This style of spoof was later ripped off something rotten by the dire Bo' Selecta but strangely done without any of the wit or style. They added 'Chart Show' style Rock Facts which were in fact not remotely factual but mostly very amusing. The only downside of this format was that we have to sit through bad videos from the likes of Steps to get some classic comedy. Bugger! Here are some of the bestest most truest Rock Facts:

Michael Jackson: There is nothing smooth about being a criminal. It is wrong! 
Prince: Prince's hobby is to murder bats then tearfully try to revive them.
Oasis: The Oasis sound is achieved by listening to Beatles records.
Take That: Gary's home will be at risk if he does not keep up repayments.
Blur: Between them Blur have bedded three women.
Happy Mondays: Shaun is the new face of Revlon.
Elton John: Elton's marriage to wife Renata failed when he remembered he was gay.
Duran Duran: Don't confuse them with Duran, Duran and Childoze, the solicitors.
Steps: With three girls and two boys, the fat one with black hair has to play gooseberry.

Tom Jones and Shirley Bassey - *they've* got the range Happy Mondays: Bez with Sally Smallsausage Lennox..

So what have we learnt from Rock Profile? Duran Duran had a hit in the 90s with Ordinary World. Bucks Fizz don't talk about Jay Aston (the witch). Sir Elton John gives all his males friends girls' names and it's hilarious! Damon from Blur is a cockernee, gertcha! etc. The boys from Steps can't write songs. They can barely write anything. Tina Turner doesn't have the range. Robbie Walliams has made Gary Barlow so ill he is on pills for his nerves. Boy George is a girl who lives on a council estate and Prince is a Scottish alcoholic. (Annie) Lennox was created by Dave Stewart. Thomas The Tank Engine speaks through Ringo Starr.

The Best Of Rock Profile compilation is an extra feature on the Little Britain Series One DVD.

ABBA - thanks to the magic of television Barlow, Orange, Walliams - it's Take That! Would you like some nibbles? Duran, Duran et al.
