Oh thank you for this - I am utterly charmed! It's less the impersonation and more the bang-on instrumental stylings that are cracking me up but that Pulp version of DM really nails Jarvis. Also Neil Young is absolutely the pick for One Foot in the Grave. Brilliant silliness.

The Housemartins sing Rentaghost is both remarkably accurate, and also the watermark with Acapella Maker made me realise that there's an app which is having a good lockdown.
