| Extra Information | A later Jackson song regarding satirical patriotism of quaint old England, including a nagging Daily Mail, poor English weather and all bearing Divorce Courts in the News of the World (an infamous defunct paper). Sing Rule Britannia during a horrible case of the flu! This flippant song is both very funny and a testament on why Jackson was performing until his sixties. |
