Default Dream Woman parody

Has anyone ever seen the scathing parody clip of Fleetwood Mac (portrayed as they looked in the late 1970s)? It's from some Australian comedy show that I think aired in the late 1980s. It's hilarious because if you squint your eyes...you would swear it's them! They look heavily under some sort of influence. A man portrays Christine -- and "she" falls off her piano stool. John falls asleep on stage. Stevie wears a top hat and gurgles a song that is a knock-off sounding combination of Dreams and Rhiannon. The lyrics pretty much cover the extent of Stevie's vocabulary!!!

Dream Woman

The moon, she loves to ride in the night
On clouds of changing colors
Through the rain and dreams unwind
And a star will be her lover

On wings of air she flys through the sky
In the velvet of the morning
Taken by the wind in the face of love
He gave her a warning

Dream Woman
Dream Woman

Magic flys like a crystal vision
In the stillness of the water
Within our hearts like a bird in flight
If I can be your daughter

Dream Woman - it's just a state of mind
Dream Woman - say you're singing

Just singing
Because I'm not trying to say anything at all
It doesn't have to mean anything at all
It's just singing
It's just a feeling that I'm singing
It doesn't mean anything
It's just singing


lol!!!!

Thanks for the chuckle. I needed it today.

That really is good.

I'm guessing that this is a sketch from 'Fast Forward' (late 1980s-1990s sketch comedy). I never saw this sketch but my friend told me about it. Yet he says that the lyrics involve something like "All of your life have you ever seen a woman dressed like this" (ie Rhiannon spoof), so maybe this is a separate sketch/show again.

Where did you see this PenguinHead? On cable I'm guessing? I would love to see it somehow.

Cool

Hey Joe! I've never conversed with anyone from down under. Thanks for giving me a reason! I love Crowded House and Neil Finn! ! Neil thankfully loves Portland, Oregon and comes here often, surprisingly. (Portland is a great city). Got to meet him briefly last year. But I'm off the topic...

Yeah, it sounds like you know the show it was from. I was hoping someone from your end of the world would comment. I had no way of knowing exactly where it came from.

About 10 years ago I received a video tape of miscellaneous clips...most of them from Australia...and that was one of them. I recently dug it out and watched it again for the first time in many years. They did such a good job...just side-splitting laughter, but also hitting a little too close to home.

It sounds like the clip you mention is a different one, since the lyric you cited is not in the lyrics I posted. I wonder if this was a recurring skit?
