Hugh Laurie - The Protest Song

[sodamntired]

Hugh Laurie singing The Protest Song live on SNL...wicked parody of folk songs...very very very funny.

 

 

In what may very well be remembered as one of the greatest moments in the recent history Saturday Night Live, Hugh Laurie (of House M.D. fame) sings a modern protest song that he originally wrote for the 4th series of "Abit of Fry and Laurie." In the song, Laurie outlines all the troubles in the world today and how we can go about fixing them.  ...

"A Bit Of Fry and Laurie" is a hilarious sketch comedy. and Laurie is quite a talented musician too ;)

I used to watch a show he was on many years ago - Jeeves and Wooster. He would play piano at the end a lot and sing. He is extremely talented.

 

Thanks for the link to the clip!

Jeeves and Wooster is an AWESOME show! ;) I can't believe someone else has actually seen it! XD They were always such a perfect duo.

Yes! I kind of grew up on that show. And they started playing repeats of it on the local public broadcasting channel a while ago. I was very happy, because it's such a well-written show. Hugh Laurie and Stephen Fry should do something together again.

I heard rumour some where, that Hugh and Stephen have been trying to get something worked out for a hell of a long time, but their schedules just aren't working.

 

Also, I heard rumour that Stephen was supposed to be on "House", but again, conflicting schedules...

 

That would be an awesome episode of "House" though...Stephen does some mad dramatic work, on top of humour.
