Chris Morris comes up with one of the funniest, most accurate piss-takes ever. Hilarious then, and still is now.
Classic. I played this over and over again but eventually lost it. Thanks for posting it on here.
NWA at Alton Towers. Nothing more to be said.
Absolute genuis from the Master. This is years old too.
I love Chris Morris
Fish and chips! Fish and chips!
Worth it just to hear the Piers Morgan thing - apparently he ran the article the following day, and had the real Paul McGuinness on the phone, demanding to know where he got the "story" from xD xD xD
LULUBELLE III that’s noice info
Never heard that "Pixies" track before, spot-on! Thanks SO MUCH from a BIG Chris Morris fan!
Great to hear this again, love that "pixies" track!
Prior to appearing on television, Morris was part of The Thick of It and Veep creator Armando Ianucci’s On The Hour, a satirical news show broadcast on BBC Radio 4 in the early ‘90s. His performance caught the ear of defunct music publication Select, which enlisted him to record a one-off radio show for a freebie 7″ called The Select Floppy Disc™, which was the first of several appearances of Morris on vinyl across his career.
While the spoken word highlight of the 7″ is arguably Morris tricking men’s rights advocate Piers Morgan (then showbiz editor at The Sun) into thinking he was getting a news exclusive about a U2 gig at Alton Towers straight from Bono himself, it was the spot-on Pixies spoof ‘Motherbanger’ that proved Morris’s knack for the parody song. All you need to know is that it’s about the singer’s incestuous relationship with his mother, and features the lyric “my mother gummed my weapon” to the tune of ‘This Monkey’s Gone To Heaven’.

I remember listening to this with my brother back in 1992. I never thought I’d hear it again. Thank you for posting this 😂
I found this in my Dads yesterday but my record players goosed so thanks for posting it. I'd forgotten all about it. Brilliant.
Fucking LOVE this. One of my all-time faves. Kudos to you for posting this!!
I had this but scratched it! Thanks for posting it.
What an awesome find
Only just found out about this flexi! Fantastic pixies piss take Chris always was good at spoofing the bands of the day, shame he never did an album of them would of sold millions, but he ain't into being a celebrity is he!!
I'm not that familiar with The Pixies, so I thought it really was a genuine track til I finally recognised Chris' voice. Was thinking I will have to look them up cuz this is hilarious. Thought this clip was taken from his music show or something with some vinyl sound effect added for some weird reason lol.
Great stuff
05:09 "I can't believe this!"

I had this but scratched it!
Thanks you sooooooo much for posting this!!!
You've made my life complete (again)

I wonder if any of the 'exclusive details' that Bono/Morris gave Morgan appeared in the Sun the next day.
stevebrizzle Yeap it did & the Mirror had a field day with Piers for publishing it in the Sun, if memory serves me right.
Ah the 90's, they were fun!
