The beginning is classic : "I've suffered for my music. Now it's your turn." Brilliant !

I've loved this one for decades. And it still makes me laugh out loud. I wince a bit, too, but it's just about perfect.

that guy in the beginning is from some other show isn't he?

The guy at the beginning is Bob Harris from the iconic 1970's UK TV music show 'The Old Grey Whistle Test.' So this spoof includes that reference - obviously with the blessing of Bob Harris.
