I love the line about "...has a fine head of hair when the wind's in the right direction". We all know who this song is really about!

[@joanneaskew3856]

The song deserves much wider appreciation!

[@Bobby007D]

the lyrics are hilarious , when you realize who they are about.

[@theunconcord6399]

Of course it takes the wit of a Brit to bring down the cheeto-coloured shitgibbon! Brilliant RT!

[@melodyziff25]

Absolute Genius!

[@sensorysyrynx]

Priceless.

[@garywhitehouse989]

Thank you for your wit,so good.

[@jj9homer]

"Fergus, you're fired!"

[@LazyIRanch]

And we US citizens, the true patriots, are celebrating and dancing in the streets! Looking forward to seeing "Fergus" and his band of flying monkeys dragged into court and ultimately off to prison! We aren't monsters, though. We don't mind if his handcuffs are 24kt gold-plated, and he's served all the hamberders he wants in prison.

Of course Fergus is an archetype and Richard doesn't mean to insult any specific character. Fergus Lang is not a unique enemy of the environment, wielding his Big Money. Just type 'golf environment' or 'golf destruction' or 'golf bore' on 'The Guardian' search box to see the unnatural global catastrophe that is American golf. Also check 'COUL LINKS' on any search engine about an imminent planning application to destroy a Scottish site of international wildlife and geomorphological importance.

Uh - I saw Richard last year - It is very definitely about 45. He wrote it when 45 was trying to turn one of Scotland's Historical Sites (Culloden, maybe) into a golf course, without even asking about permits. He wrote it in 2013 or 14

[@fastidioussloth6013]

Did Richard tell you so much? I don't know '45'. He does use the word 'historic'. I thought it was about this: www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/this-britain/teed-off-the-residents-of-foveran-links-speak-out-about-donald-trump-s-golf-project-7939044.html

DT is the 45th president of the USA. pagesix.com/2015/04/24/bob-dylan-of-britain-lampoons-donald-trump/?fbclid=IwAR0wu5CiI9-zdxAOyiV0FViiUpVajBa1tTRf5mhsUDllAo5idi0eQ7Uy1Uc

[@LazyIRanch]

You go to every version of this song on KZbin and post the same bullshit. Did Richard hurt your feelings, telling truth about the mango Mussolini? Of COURSE the song is about trump! You fascists had your 4 years, and the US voters have spoken. Fergus is FIRED! Buh-BYE! BYE-DON

[@fastidioussloth6013]

@@LazyIRanch Don't you understand that I am being sarcastic? Why be so insulting?
