Comedian makes a Ronnie anthem

ROAD RAGER INSPIRED VIRAL MUSIC HIT

-

AN Irish comedian has recorded an “indie” song about Ronnie Pickering and his viral road rage rant.

And the song has been watched more than half a million times on Twitter.

Michael Fry, 27, said Ronnie Pickering was suggested to him as a potential topic for a song by followers.

He says it is brilliantl­y funny and one of his personal favourite clips.

“I write and record everything myself,” the 27-yearold told the Mail.

“I decided on Ronnie Pickering after releasing four similar videos in the same week where I take viral voice notes or clips and make them sound like Indie pop bands - the most common comparison­s I get are Hot Chip, The xx or Two Door Cinema Club.

“Ronnie Pickering was one of the most suggested from my followers and so I thought I should definitely do it because it’s so brilliantl­y funny and one of my personal favourite clips.”

Explaining a bit about himself, he said: “I’m an Irish comedian.

“I’ve been active for about three years on social media doing various sketches a couple of which have gone viral already - a reimaginin­g of the Loose Women and a parody of an anti-mask protester in London.

“Lockdown accelerate­d things and my following was already growing before these videos, but Ronnie Pickering and the Come Dine with me video have really helped me reach new heights and a large audience in the UK that I didn’t really have before.”
