Huh? It sucks. It’s no Weill.
And she’s no Dudley Moore.
Clearly she’s not Dudley Moore, and the intention is very different. Ridiculous comparison!
Here’s a real parody of Weill’s Ballade von Sexuelle Hörigkeit in the age of Trump:

Now that really was good.
No doubt the usual clueless will pile on; but much of what’s sung here rings true. And imagine being one of the first to stick your head above the parapet and speak out? I hope she does well with this.
How nice to read a pleasant comment on here. Thankyou ….. I thought it was humorous and courageous too.
Here, of course, is the very best Weill/Brecht parody ever: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KdmoxlqQQ4c&t=1m29s
In more puritanical times this number was omitted from productions of the opera. In the U.K. of course.
I love this! Very witty and delivered with panache!
So pleased to hear that I’ll have a chance to hear it live next month!
