Found this clip featuring The Grumbleweeds, a comedy showgroup from my neck of the woods who were quite big in the 70's and 80's and who had their own tv show (sorry for the quality of the clip)

Enjoyed that Grumbleweeds clip, Timeblue, didn't know they'd ever done ELO. Apparently the Barron Knights recorded a parody of Telephone Line, but on YouTube the video's not available, alas.

I remember watching it on C4 back in the 80's, really funny.

I loved the Grumbleweeds, they used to have a really good radio show too. My mum and I still quote bits of it to each other all these years later. But I didn't know they'd ever done ELO either, thanks for posting that Timeblue. (and to Horacewimp for the Barron Knights link)

My dad loved the Grumbleweeds but I never knew they'd done an ELO parody. It's rather good! With the low quality picture you could put an ELO track over the top and not tell the difference!

I've spent all week trying to find that Barron Knights clip but to no avail.... I also searched earlier but couldn't find it I've got a copy somewhere buried deep in my attic. From memory it is a very short clip, starting with money being put in a phone box phone, then the piano intro and the first few lines of the song as if sung down the phone line followed by the 'beep beep' time running out on the phone call, followed by a voice saying 'damn, can't get my money in the slot to continue' or words similar. Very funny.
I will try and have a search over easter for it.

I too have a memory of it,the lead singer is in a British phone box calling his girlfriend and fumbling for change when the beeps start and the girlfriend looking unhappy when he can't call....

The Barron Knights did a couple of tv specials for C4 in the mid 80s and this was on one of them,surely someone must have taped them?
