We Know A Song About That, Don't We?

We Know A Song About That, Don't We? is a topical comedy song archive with a news pulse. The premise is simple and unusually sturdy: when the world produces another familiar-looking absurdity, the show finds the song already written for the last time something like it happened. That gives the episodes a double rhythm. First comes the current irritation, then the musical receipt from the past. The result is part political monologue, part comedy-song showcase, and part running argument that public life has a habit of repeating its worst bits with new names attached. The show is especially alive around politics. Recent episodes move through Donald Trump and Iran, CPAC, Liz Truss, Boris Johnson, Keir Starmer, Reform, elections, polling-booth rules, and the strange theatre of politicians trying to look serious. It is not limited to Westminster or Washington. Artemis 2 leads to moon-landing conspiracy jokes, Easter becomes a setup for theological silliness, and a Louvre theft becomes an excuse for a West End musical parody aimed squarely at Andrew Lloyd Webber-style excess. The musical references matter. Songs are treated as crafted comic arguments, with attention to genre, structure, rhyme, key changes, repetition, and the peculiar habits of stage and broadcast satire. The show can be blunt. It can also be unexpectedly reflective, especially when a closing song shifts from mockery into memory or tribute. Its comic engine is exasperation, but not laziness. The jokes assume listeners can keep up with British politics, American right-wing media, old comedy broadcasts, theatre culture, and the news of the week. Short housekeeping notes about performances and Patreon extras give the episodes a working-comedian feel rather than a polished panel-show gloss. The best fit is for listeners who enjoy topical satire that carries a tune, remembers earlier scandals, and notices when history returns wearing a worse hat.
