And, because I have to do this whenever Dean Friedman's name comes up or I
get this song stuck in my head for two weeks:

THE BASTARD SON OF DEAN FRIEDMAN -- Half Man Half Biscuit (1985)

Well I heard a lovely rumor
That Bette Midler had a tumor
So gleefully I went to tell my friends
But they said it was a lie
That she wasn't going to die
And by the way, have we got news for you!
 
And they told me that the man
That I had always billed as Dad
Hadn't met my Mum when I was born
And they reckon that I am
But I hope to God I'm not
The bastard son of Dean Friedman
The bastard son of Dean Friedman
 
And my school-work fell behind
With this bombshell on my mind
Me art teacher said he understood
But he could only sympathise
With the sadness in my eyes
Even though he'd shown me his Magritte
 
And in the Corridors of Fear
I would shed a lovely tear
As ridicule flew at me from both sides
And they mocked me in my mocs
And embroidered in my socks
The bastard son of Dean Friedman
The bastard son of Dean Friedman
 
Supercalifragilisticborussiamunchengladbach
 
And you can thank your lucky stars that you're not
The bastard son of Dean Friedman
The bastard son of Dean Friedman
