Page "Shirehorses" Paragraph 1

As part of their BBC Radio 1 shows, the pair produced pastiches of chart songs, such as " Lardy Boy ", a parody of Placebo's " Nancy Boy ", and " Why Is It Always Dairylea ", spoofing Travis's " Why Does It Always Rain on Me?

", using the band names ' Gazebo ' and ' Travisty ' respectively.

When they rewrote The Seahorses ' " Love Is the Law " as "( Now ) I Know ( Where I'm Going ) Our Kid ", they chose the stage-name Shirehorses, which they then retained for future recordings and performances.

Other parodies include " I Want a Roll with It " ( spoofing " Roll with It " by Oasis ), " Feel Like Shite " (" Alright " by Supergrass ), and " Country Spouse " (" Country House " by Blur ).
