This is an unkind/kind of a happy birthday song, which only makes sense if you know #Frozen & the troll song "Fixer Upper." So: niche. There are some rude words in our parody version, titled "F*&ker upper" (no kids were exposed/involved - don't ring in to complain 🫢)

Here’s a reflective mash-up of “White Cliffs of Dover” & “Over the Rainbow” we made about VE Day and where we’re at 80 years on. Dedicated to Great Grandad (DFC as an RAF pilot, 619 Squadron, Lancasters) - his favourite saying was "the price of freedom is eternal vigilance."

Here's a zero-gravity parody song about this week's coverage of #BlueOrigin's rocket launch. Sorry we forgot to turn the clicker off but we were more worried about getting the pitch (nearly) right. It's called "Flight from Earth" based on the anthemic #Firework by #KatyPerry 🎇🎶

Here's a 🎶 twist on Coldplay's thumping #VivaLaVida we're calling "Puppets on a Kremlin String?"

It reflects on the grotesque media spectacle hosted by #Trump & #Vance yesterday at the White House. In solidarity with Zelensky & Ukraine.

A year today since #AlexeiNavalny was killed. So we're resharing our song in his memory, "Sit For The Road" ("Сядем На Дорожку") - the Russian tradition of stopping for a moment before journeys.

"You're not allowed to give up" - Navalny.

The people of Europe stand with Ukraine against the threat of a false peace as much as brutal war. Because of our shared history. Because of our shared future. Because it is just. Because it is necessary. And because they deserve nothing less. Don't abandon them. #SlavaUkraini

Auschwitz was at the end of a long process. It did not start from gas chambers.

This hatred was gradually developed by humans. From ideas, words, stereotypes & prejudice through legal exclusion, dehumanization & escalating violence... to systematic and industrial murder.

Auschwitz took time.
