The world of
children’s politics was rocked to its foundation last week with news that Kev will
return to the limelight, replacing “hired hand” Julia who has stood in for him
for the last eighteen months.
Proudly donning
his yellow skivvy, Kev announced that following his abrupt departure in 2010 he
realized he had “unfinished business” and that over the Christmas break he had
happened to have informal discussions that led to him being asked to rejoin the
original lineup of ‘Captain Magic Buttons’ Arbib, “’Cocky Want a Cracker’ Howes
and ‘I Want to Wear the Jacket’ Shorten.
“The
opportunity was too good to pass up,” said Kev, grinning excitedly. “We always
made beautiful music together and the kids love us. With such famous songs as
‘Hot Potato - Ode to the Carbon Tax”, “Great Big Man In The Red (Wayne’s song)”
and our Broadband hit “Knead Some Dough” we brought politics to a whole new
level of silliness.”
Tightly
clutching her own tattered yellow skivvy, deposed band member Julia struggled
to fight back the tears as she complained to a packed press conference that she
had been ostracized and treated badly all along. “During my time I contributed
enormously to the achievements of the group,” she said, citing in particular “We’re
the Cowboys,” “Wheels on the bus (have come off),” and her personal favourite
“Can You Point Your Finger (at the Opposition leader)?”
“On top of
that, I can single-handedly take credit for our best-selling DVD ‘Captain
Featherbowen Fell Asleep on the Smugglers Ship’ and its mega-hit “"Our
Boat Is Rocking on the Sea,”
which has been hugely popular as far afield as Indonesia, Malaysia and
Afghanistan.”
A
spokesperson confirmed that Kev will rejoin the group for a sell-out national
tour before the end of the year.
