You do the hokey pokey and turn yourself around. That's what it's all about. Ja.

It's in German but it's the same song. :-6

The guys doing that were more than capable of extending the parody indefinitely - they came on, during the Part Troll tour, for a one-hour encore and didn't run short of material.

He's adept at several styles, not just that. This is a good example...

I shouldn't, but here's his definitive all-purpose love song as well:

Had to change the name of this thread,

Bill Bailey's a genius. I've getting a huge collection of parodies here.

Having a go at Phil Collins:

Not exactly a song but it is musical at the end.

Sirens

I've got more of his songs to post here but I'm taking a moment of appreciation for spot having pointed out the guy's talent to me.

For spot:

Bailey a la Chaucer

There's an English sort-of-punk-folky called Billy Bragg. Bill Bailey did a skit imitation which so impressed Mr Bragg that, when he played the Glastonbury Festival and saw Bill Bailey in the crowd before the set started, he asked Mr Bailey to come on and do it as a duet with him, so I'm told and it sounds quite likely to me. Anyway, it's exactly like a Billy Bragg song with just the right edge and twist to it:
