(13) The living end

[stratmad]

Female backing vocals are ...cheap?  Get Madonna to sing them, if you can afford it!
But I think I know what you mean. 

[Stanko]

Who is Madonna??

[Stanko]

There are two errors in the lyrics to fix:

I'll walk up the mic
I'll walk up to the mic


Hey presto, you're ogne
Hey presto, you're gone

[Stanko]

I searched a bit, and I believe, this one easily could be about George Francis Roper?

" "George was a natural comic who did not need to try to be funny. All he needed was a microphone and a spotlight." "

" Vereran comic Frank Carson, who knew George for more than 40 years, said: "As the old saying goes, the show must go on. And George made sure it did go on for as long as he was able." "

" Jim Bowen who starred in The Comedians with George in the early 70s and went on to host TV's Bull's Eye, said: "He was a funny, funny man - and a real gentle man "

What do you Brits think?

Could be.

To me it brings to mind Jim Davidson, but there were a whole pile of comedians in the 70s and 80s like this here in the UK.

  I like this direction.

I have been caught into this one all day long. Insane.

I had the same thing recently with "Fat Chance Dupree"

Yes, I only listened to that one once,  I hope I get to Fat Chance Dupree soon.
I'm a slow listener.

About the title: So in the lyrics it comes across as if The Living End (with capital letters) and with "appearing at" it is meant as the name of a TV show? I guess it is not a real one?  Is there are possible double meaning in it, the literal end of living and the meaning as explained in this thread as an idiom?
