Comedy
SUMMARY:
Ancient Greek playwright, Aristophanes, explains his new idea of ‘comedy’ through a short song.
Song from Series 2016 Specials 2: Staggering Storytellers
Parody of Tragedy by Bees Gees
LYRICS:
Tragedy is a story where the end is sad
Now just try and imagine everyone is glad.
We still fight, but instead of killing just say alright
Life's too short for enmity, hostility, let's just agree to disagree.
​
Comedy! When you've had enough of people dying, comedy!
Take a break and laugh at that man lying flat on his back
Slipped on a banana skin, how funny's that?!
​
Comedy! Sure the punters would pay good money, comedy!
Falling down, now that is funny; oh what a gas!
Did not see it coming...
