Release overview
Silly Sausage Britain is a British satire song with cut-up speech, whistle and kazoo. Britain is going through it; the kazoo song has arrived anyway.
Silly Sausage Britain is a 2:32 explicit satirical single by Kieran Simkin. Cut-up speech, whistle and kazoo details frame a lyric about memes, Mr Blobby, national decline and the uses—and limits—of laughing when everything feels grim.
In brief
Bright beat. Grim backdrop. One magnificently ill-timed kazoo.
Bright electronic production, chopped speech, whistle and kazoo.
The target is pomp and panic—not ordinary people. It is the very British reflex to reach for something daft just as the room turns serious.
A satire from a Seaford songwriter, with Brighton Palace Pier on the cover and the national mood somewhere under the ketchup.
“Everything’s grim but the beat stays gorgeous.”

Official lyrics for Silly Sausage Britain.
Silly Sausage Britain
Things are actually pretty serious
Things are actually pretty tense
But no
Silly Sausage Britain
Silly sausage, silly sausage
Everything's grim but the beat stays gorgeous
Silly sausage, silly sausage
Upbeat joy at the worst possible moment
Silly sausage, silly sausage
Nation in decline but the hook sounds enormous
Things are actually serious—yeah, we know, mate
But the kazoo kicked in and now it's too late
Ridiculous, frivolous nonsense
True horrors in the frivolousness
No, the Silly Sausage Britain
Is the nostalgia trip we cling to
Oh, if only we could have
Our rich tradition of frivolous pricks
Then wouldn't that be wonderful
Wouldn't that just fix all this
Cockwomble meme
Totally unserious
Totally uninteresting
Yet you sound quite furious
Silly sausage, silly sausage
Everything's grim but the beat stays gorgeous
Silly sausage, silly sausage
Upbeat joy at the worst possible moment
Things are actually serious
Things are actually tense
But the chorus has a whistle
And it simply won't make sense
This really, really annoys me
It's so out of date
Written in about 2005
Not twenny-twenny six
Silly Sausage Britain is my Britain
It's who I think we mostly are
What? he says, then suddenly
We're marching off to war
Do you think Wellington at Waterloo
Was like, 'We're Silly Sausage Britain'?
No, probably not—but neither was he
Arguing with a meme on television
No decline that can't be managed
Can't we just be silly sausages?
No!
Random for random's sake
I always hated random for random's sake
Silly sausage, silly sausage
Everything's grim but the beat stays gorgeous
Silly sausage, silly sausage
Upbeat joy at the worst possible moment
Silly sausage, silly sausage
Mr Blobby standing strangely triumphant
I'm sorry to be the bearer of bad news
That's all right, mate
We're still being stupid
Serious—serious—serious—tense
Frivolous—frivolous—frivolous pricks
Waterloo
Cockwomble
