I think this is wonderful. It flows as smoothly as, well a smooth-thing (Black Adder) and you have caught the hoi polloi tone of 'po'try' painting conversation beautifully. But, the satire is a bit lost. Confession. I am a member of the hoi polloi, and found myself going - yes, you tell 'em, mate.
Like 'Till Death Do Us Part' - Alf Garnett -This was supposed to be satire and it rebounded because he became a spokesperson for the working class.
Anyway, what is so wrong with a Velvet Elvis? Only joking!
On a slightly different tack. I remember a violent argument with a boyfriend once because he said the great unwashed shouldn't be allowed pop music. They should be made to appreciate Mozart etc. I remember the hit of the day was A Whiter Shade of Pale (Procol Harum?)...and that sparked off the 'discussion'
