Subject: Song not mentioned in the FAQ...

I have an audio tape, put out by the BBC, of the British comedy show
"Not The Nine O'Clock News". It is copyright 1978 or '79, if I recall
correctly. There's a lot of comedy skits on it, as well as music
parodies. One of them is a song called "England My Leotard", and is
apparently Kate parodying herself.
I did a quick scan of the FAQ, but I didn't see this mentioned. It
really is Kate singing. I don't think anyone can impersonate her quite
that well. Plus the liner says "Kate Bush Music/EMI".
Does anyone know any background info on this?
I'd post the lyrics, but I can't understand all of them. :) And I'm
a native Brit... One of the more humorous lines though, is when she
sings "It's not your mind, it's your body they're into / my business
manager said. / He told me I need an intellect like I need a / hole in
the hole in the hole in the head."
It is a perfect parody of her musical style during that period.
Any thoughts?
