"Starmer" - Marsh Family parody adaptation of "Starman" by David Bowie about the UK Labour leader

[@trackfanstv]

Utter genius! Loved this - how true and, could we have a follow up parody now that he's half crippled the nation within 6 months........I think you'd smash it! Great tune, excellent composition! 💯🔥🔥

[@rigilchrist]

Wonderful!! Please, please, do an version with updated lyrics exposing what he's like now tht he's in power.

[@mellowmissmuffett]

How is this only just now entering my suggestions feed?! This is brilliant!

[@marycaine8874]

Same here

[@dorsetbigcats6292]

Same here.

[@FoookYourfeelings]

Yep

[@christinehoughton8591]

Same with me

[@mrsgarbutt3280]

Me too??

[@emmsue1053]

Brilliant, especially the hook lines.. everyone can remember and sing this.. Make it number one folks.. Thank you Marsh family

[@susanyates4233]

One of my favourite David Bowie songs. The words are brilliant. Thank you.

[@morethanmum]

My fav line “Keir Starmer’s waiting for his try. He’d like to come and lead us but he’s rather vague on why”. Wonderful

[@neilcarr3841]

THIS SHOULD BE RELEASED AS A SINGLE - No1 would be brilliant .

[@traceyrhoden9808]

Yes throughly agree

[@vincentl.9469]

Yes

[@a.j.b.8658]

An updated one pleeeaaassse!! 🙏 To include sausage-gate and the pensioners penny pinching x

[@annettefowler4704]

I agree!!!!!😂

[@SuperBC10]

It’s great but needs cleaning up totally 👍

[@ianashton1593]

Absolutely brilliant, you guys are very talented 👍👍

[@raymitchell4220]

Please can you do an updated version of this song, I think a lot of folk aren't happy with the things he's done especially taking away heating allowance from pensioners straight away before sorting real problems out, thank you for the music, much appreciated !!

[@sctrh2]

Yes - I vote for an update, too!

[@ThatsViews]

Needs a part 2!😂

[@ThatsViews]

And... I subscribed!😊

[@brxee]

I came into the comments to ask exactly this!

[@jennylewis3244]

Yes, let’s hear it 😂

[@martynbush]

How did I not see this before the election? Perhaps the algorithm held it back. Brilliant work, Marsh family. Please, please, please do a post election update. That would be hilarious and probably go viral.

[@KersiDeboo-k6s]

You guys are brilliant. Keep them coming 😂👍🏼👍🏼

[@Martial-Mat]

Wow, the boys really nailed the Bowies voice!

[@eddygrunge4749]

well spotted.

[@nightowl5395]

Yes, especially the eldest boy...sorry cannot remember your name just now 😔...it's late

[@fireskycam9889]

I thought the youngest boy had a great voice for this song.

[@barbarabauling7513]

"He'd really like to lead us, but he's rather vague on why" - Brilliant lyrics. Well done all. xx

[@eddygrunge4749]

very Bowie-esque lyrical tone.

[@timetraveller9321]

Superb effort, you all made this a masterpiece, all the best to you from Norman in Scotland 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

[@DrewSpencer1]

Excellent! Can’t wait for the follow up “Ashes to Ashes” ! Merry Christmas 👍

[@louisebrigden9240]

Brilliant! We need an update now though, about the car crash that has been the last few weeks.

[@clivewalker5465]

What a Talented Family . Merry Christmas , and a Wonderful New Year .

[@martinpye549]

Time for a Starman update ..... This new one will be a doozie.

[@marge2548]

I am thrown every time about the way you manage to pick _just_ the right song for what you want to say... two thumbs up from me. And please, do continue... the world would be so much darker if you didn't.

[@Buster-motorbike]

What an incredible family. Musically talented, a rich sense of humour and parody. Every child deserves to be brought up by these parents. The epitome of decency.

[@xanx1234]

19 December'24 and I've just seen this ......................... Wow, that was excellent, well done!

[@nigelpocock9538]

You just keep getting better and better. Lovely harmonies and incisive vocals.

[@fredmcveigh9877]

Very good. Now the reality is here the bar is at ground level.

[@davidmansfield5505]

Absolutely brilliant! Better than any political commentary on television. Respect from America❤

[@barnabywild2215]

One hundred days into his premiership and this seems very out of date.

[@nigeljones2811]

Understatement of the year: “He’s better than the others- but the bar’s not very high.” Genius.

[@janetEC1C2]

yeah- laughed out loud at that line😂

[@yellowgreen5229]

Except it isn't true, first he will support mass murder of Palestinians and guarantee the future success of the far right. Starmer winning will condemn Britain to fascism. Tories are corrupt and incompetent, we don't need to find out what a competent far right will be like.

[@mikeroyce8926]

Sums up why I'm thinking of voting for none of the above. Maybe a stop Putin party will get my vote.

[@mittfh]

Also: "He only sparkles when the glitter's thrown on site", and "He'd rather like to lead us, but he's rather vague on why."

[@ilyaf9745]

“He’s better than the others- but the bar’s not very high.” That is precisely how I think about Biden here in the US and why I plan to vote for him.

[@willmeaney9302]

I wondered where you stood on Starmer ? As you can clearly see i've got my hands full here, in the USA!

[@ElliottRodgers]

It horrendous in UK but then I see the US and Trump and think am glad don't live in US!

[@MsGrandunion]

@@ElliottRodgers I'm a British expat in the US so I have the worst of both worlds!!!

[@cb.london.4135]

I'm a bit late finding this, but brilliant 👍 Defo needs to be re-recorded every three months with new lyrics, the way 'Free Gear Kier' is going.

[@catrino5453]

Such a beautiful family ❤ Thank you for fun factor 🥰

[@headrushindi]

OH that was so good. Just superb!!!! Ill bet David himself is beaming with pride from his high perch in the clouds.

[@catrionatalbot]

Arrangement, harmonies, lyrics, blending, all fabulous. One of your very best to date. Keep ‘em coming, you go from strength to strength.

[@HPB1776]

Love it! You are so talented. ❤. You are so on point. Tories OUT and hope, just hope that things will get better but I'm not holding my breath🤞! Thank goodness for music, art and beautiful things that keep us going in this toxic world. ❤

[@bambit08]

Yes, we definitely need a better government that cares for the British people - i.e. not the one we have currently. If any UK Gov was a fraction as talented as the STARMarsh Family we would have a positive future. 👏🌟👏

[@creator000]

You were quick of the mark from the last release. I am still laughing at the mix of cutting room floor edits from last week. Always puts a smile on my face when you upload a new parody. Have a great week all.

[@TR4zest]

As pointed as this was, I'm not sure it was a parody.

[@benbeck1]

Brilliant, would love another couples of verses on how he's doing now.

[@leoseries]

Needs to be updated. Lots more material available

[@MrGreenwoodlad]

Mindblowingly accurate . Smashed it again …. Fantastic Musicians & Political commentators extraordinaire 👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻

[@susanmuir286]

Always to the point Marsh Family.!Great voices, love the harmony.😊

[@marianholmes2906]

Brilliant!! Needed a giggle at the end of the day!! You've done it again. Thank you as always!!

[@Arthur54321]

Strangely I was just listening to the original about an hour before finding this gem. Well done the Marsh Family - fantastic all round.

[@rhuman8672]

It would be interesting to see what lyrics you would write for this now 😂

[@enochpowelghost]

Fantastic and quality too , well done .

[@alicepaul6276]

Love how everyone's talents have grown. Always a joy to watch❣️

[@peterrenn6341]

Terrific as ever - and now special lighting effects! - You're spoiling us! ;-)

[@dianaedwards-z3y]

What a family, absolutly great. im now going to be looking for more of 'The Marsh Family'. thank you

[@Shimshams]

Can we please have an updated version….brilliant 👍

[@carolebirch9758]

Absolutely fabulous.. Love it thank you Marsh family

[@hickle204]

I laughed so much - brilliant lyrics and fabulous singing. You nailed it again!

[@SC-g2b]

Excellent lyrics if only this could make it to the Eurovision song contest. Great job well done. 👍

[@patrickgleason2066]

Musical satire is alive and very well. Well played, spot on!

[@Daniel-deMerrivale]

Very, very smooth and awesome. As relevant now as when you played this 7 months ago. Honestly, this should be the theme song of all of us who have had enough but can still smile. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

[@robertyboberty7495]

I tried writing a song about the Liberal Democrats. After 74 hours of trying to be creative, all I had was a blank piece of paper with the words Ed Davey written on it.

[@jonahtwhale1779]

The collected wisdom of Ed Davey - a virgin sheet of paper!

[@robynsutton4848]

Absolutely brilliant! I’m Australian and have no knowledge of British politics but you don’t need to for this. You could insert names of any free world politicians and it would be equally as hilarious! You guys are incredible. Thankyou so much.

[@monicaluketich6913]

Same here in America. I don't know if I should be happy or scared about the November vote here. Remember the USA if we don't re-elect the president who is calm, knows politics and history, and not the Orange, Demented Dictator.

[@mikewatson1105]

I’m in Oz too, I couldn’t agree more! Thank you.

[@MrNatbatten]

I think you're probably right on that score. Very few politicians in this world have altruism in their hearts anymore, it's just a massive gravy train, but us plebs pay for it all and never get our snouts near the trough, let alone in it, complete pack of globally corrupt thieving heartless bastids they are.

[@0KiteEatingTree0]

The great Juice Media occasionally does something on our GB politics, look em up. A fabulous amount on Australia s as well.

[@mmg9675]

Gosh, I hope all governments are more competent than UK one.

[@daleskidmore1685]

Really! Put out 7 months ago? It is so NOW! Brilliant song. Well sung and played The Marshes. I heard a bit of a Kate Bush coming through in there too; could be a hint of something to come, maybe.

[@stephenogden5470]

I hope there is a follow up to this excellent parody with some more pertinent lyrics!

[@joec2849]

Great take on Bowies Starman!

[@briansmith7256]

Well that was just brilliant. Thank you guys. A much needed laugh there. What an amazing family. 👏

[@JD98034]

Please please Marsh family, can you do a song about pensioners feeling cold this Winter?

[@adogcalledkat9858]

Great song but probably an arrestable offence...Who knows????????????

[@highmyope-ps2by]

Politicians have been derided and lampooned for millennia. It's part of democracy.

[@SimonJones-iv5zh]

I imagine the current version of this song might be a bit more brutal. :)

[@SurreyMan0409]

Brilliant brilliant brilliant!! One of your very best! Thank you!

[@Indiana-wants-me]

FABULOUS. More please!

[@yorkshireroots]

S;pecial thoughful talented Marsh family continue to dazzle us Appreciation to you all.In this crazy world we need you Keep 'em coming

[@ShortShootChannel]

Awesome - well done to the whole family!!

[@bulbhead3333]

We need a current one about his broken pledges.

[@sophiewillson8590]

You are so talented and amazing and get better every time

[@rushman667]

The violin sound realty captured Starmers voice

[@jaynebrown8203]

Another great parody. Thanks

[@faerie1599]

.... top drawer stuff, well done.......... awesome family effort, lovely to see........👏👏👏

[@KAF128]

Love it. Scans superbly! Thank you.

[@craftforfun36]

Hope you’re happy with him now

[@THEOCKANDCHESTER]

This was Only just Recommended to me on my feed also 😄 We Loved it! 🥰 Your Family Sound Awesome! What a Lovely Little Group 🫶 x

[@oxheadsoup9851]

24.09.2024 Wonder what they think of the TWAT now: "Return the sausages" (bet someone will be selling T-shirts with that on before the end of the week)

[@JonotJoe66]

Brilliant, and you always pick the perfect song. Such talent 👏

[@Targanielle]

You're a winderfully talented family, not just musically but lyrically too. And a soecial shout out to the boys in this sing who absolutely nail Bowie's voice. Thank you, fir all your songs that you share with us 👏👏👏

[@Bindersandcash19]

Love this you are all so talented thankyou for making me smile Bowie would be too ❤

[@hewhorocketh]

Please do another song based on his performance and distinct lack of plus include lyrics about his love of the idea of the uk becoming an authoritarian state

[@amandahunter4034]

It's great to see such a politically aware family keen to sing what everyone's thinking. Thank you.

[@gooders4648]

Everyone? You think ‘Everyone’ wants a Labour government!? You couldn’t be more wrong!

[@toastnotoflondon8500]

and now? August 24?

[@stephsims1907]

Just when I think you've reached your peak, you pull an even better song out of the bag ! I don't know how you do it...but don't stop we need you in these awful times to raise our spirits. A huge thank you from someone who grew up listening to Ziggy Stardust, I'm sure David Bowie will be loving your reworking of his song .

[@MrDunkycraig]

Think we need an updatec version

[@catrino5453]

Any chance of a re-write/update to include “Starmer Blew it”‼️ or words to that effect please? Marsh Family you are epic ❤

[@chrisbentleywalkingandrambling]

On point as always. Love the tune choice. Bowie was brilliant.

[@andychapman3100]

Brilliant and much needed light hearted antidote to the daily fury of seeing what Labour is becoming under Starmer! Thank you for this!

[@malcolmrusk3351]

Please release this as a single 😂😂😂

[@natjohnson3736]

Laughed out loud at "why reveal some policies" followed by la la la for the rest of the song. Comedy genius! Also, fantastic opening from Alfie.

[@gregday3800]

Excellent work as always

[@philipguest2584]

Absolutely brilliant I love it well done

[@stolenorange]

This has aged well...

[@woodyforest7308]

In hind sight?

[@davidcharles8351]

Excellent song, so well done explaining the UK POLITCAL SCENE

[@grahamtowers5513]

This is truly brilliant, so accurate about Starmer

[@jennil7797]

Love it! It makes me feel better the sheer lack of any outstanding person or party to vote for if there's an election in the near future.

[@THEFORBIDDENMAN-lk7of]

GREAT USE OF DAVID BOWIE`S STARMAN

[@malcolmlindley4465]

Posted 8 months ago! How prophetic

[@jayray2U]

love this!!! Thank you!!

[@nigeljones2811]

I’ve given up commenting because what else can we say? You’re just brilliant every time! But I often log on just in the hope of a new song and this one was great, with a couple of snort out loud moments 👍 Special shout out to Tom’s drumming, but you were all fab.

[@pickledup]

I reckon your drummer is gonna do a Phil Collins and be the lead one day 😉

[@DanaReno-n4u]

Thanks!

[@simonn4077]

Another vid so soon! Ben's got a phaser. Organic mic stand. Some impressive bass playing! All good stuff. Politics either side of 'the pond' is pretty dire, atm. Just need a change. Something to stop all the division going on. Is that even possible? I have faith the human race will eventually sort itself out 😅.
