Are you familiar with Half Man Half Biscuit's "Vatican Counterblast"?

Vaguely familiar with HMHB, but not that, no... Will google on it later.

Ah... Vatican Broadside. Nope, never heard of it... Young Rab and his mates seem rather fond of Slipknot, though.

Ah, you're quite right.

To the tune of "John Brown's Body":

"The singer out of Slipknot went to Rome to see the Pope,
The singer out of Slipknot went to Rome to see the Pope,
The singer out of Slipknot went to Rome to see the Pope,
And the Pope said to his aide...
WHO THE FUCKING HELL ARE SLIPKNOT?
WHO THE FUCKING HELL ARE SLIPKNOT?
WHO THE FUCKING HELL ARE SLIPKNOT,
In relation to me getting out of bed?"
