I love his suggestion for the name of the song and album (can't spell it so I won't try).

Great stuff.

I saw him do this routine on a different clip and his delivery was much better. He had wicked timing, the audience was right in there, and it all came off very well. It was the same act, but this one while funny, didn't quite nail it.

I'd love to see the 'good' version then cos I thought this one was spot-on.

I have heard this same joke (lifted?) from someone else. I think it was Margaret Chow.

Agree with DD. This stupid song was playing at the grocery store just yesterday, and it was really getting to me how terrible her supposed examples of irony were. I like his revamped versions.

This bit's been done to death, and someone (either Lewis Black or Todd Barry) has already done the rain on your wedding day/weatherman joke.

I have been saying this since the song came out, and everyone always looks at me like I'm a dickhead.

I find it funny, and I actually like the song.

Daniel Kitson went to my school, he came in about 30 or so. I saw him in aberystwyth...........oddly enough

Kitson's funny as fuck, there's only one decent video of him on t'web that I can find, in my 'To-Post' list. Unless you wanna do it? Let me know dawg. I got clips coming out of my arse.

Agreed that this bit's been done to death -- it's sort of the stand-up equivalent of complaining about airline food or starting a joke with "my girlfriend just left me"...

Funny.
But rain on the day you marry the weather man is not ironic. You know, they don't actually *make* the weather, they try to predict it. 5 days in advance, at best. They don't know the weather on their wedding day 5 months ahead when they plan the date.
