Devilfish Gets Comedic Musical MakeoverThe Ting Ting's meet Dave "Devilfish" Ulliott in Musical Parody "A Song for Dave Ulliott" |
|
Dave “Devilfish” Ulliott, never a man to hide his own musical talents under a bushel, is the subject of a new musical parody by Matt Broughton, famed for light-hearted comedic reworkings of popular songs in the poker idiom.
Broughton, who is a TV presenter with Sky Poker, has already lampooned Lucy Rokach and Simon Trumper and his latest effort is a flawless take on The Ting Ting’s “That’s Not My Name”.
He says on the Youtube hosted video, “As you'd imagine, when I made the video I chucked an email at Devilfish to make sure he wasn't genuinely insulted by it. He asked me to send him a photo of myself so he could reply in kind (even suggesting he might write a song about me!). So I did send him a picture, and below is his reply. I promise you this is absolutely cut and paste from the email I received:
“I figure its ok to leave your video on you tube as long as you put this reply underneath it .
'After seeing mr broughtons video i asked him to send a photo of himself goatey short hair and ill bet shades on his nose a devilfish wanna b my girlfriend pointed out in fact it was my girl who made me comb it down to cover my forehead but after seeing mr broughtons forehead i might comb it up again its ****ing massive . I may have the frankenstein haircut but he,s got the frankie forehead infact im surprised IMAX have nt been in touch with Frankie Broughton ill bet flies have died of old age crawling across that ****ing brow it took his mother 5 yrs to knit him a hat.'”
Last year Devilfish produced a cult version of the Youtube phenomenon "Chocolate Rain."
