Janey Godley has fans cackling with politician karaoke voiceover

Janey Godley is back at it again, having fans doubled over in laughter with her latest voiceover sketch.

The Scottish comedian has created a video featuring politicians Jacob Rees-Mogg and Nadine Dorries doing a 'karaoke' performance to an iconic pop song, reports the Daily Record. Janey titled the video, 'Islands in the steam', in an obvious nod to the popular Kenny Rodgers and Dolly Parton song.

Janey sings hilariously over a clip of the two controversial politicians having a chat outside Downing Street, as the Culture Secretary and Brexit Minister are seen standing side by side speaking to the press. The comedian spotted this as an opportunity to turn it into a performance of her own.

The voice over begins with the original song lyrics: "Baby when I met you there was peace unknown, I set out to get you with a fine tooth comb. I was soft inside, there was something going on.

"You do something to me that I can't explain. Hold me closer and I feel no pain, every beat of my heart, we got something going on."

However, when she reaches Jacob's 'part' of the duet, she sings: "Sail away with me Nadine and we can be, and we will rely on each other ah ha." Fans were all over the voice over, hailing it as "amazing".

One fan said: "I was laughing before I even clicked "play". Another said: "Brilliant to have you back, amazing."

A third added: "Oh Janey. I am so very glad you are recovering. I am so glad you are better. Thank you for this." While another commented: "Sail away with me Nadine. Omg."

The Scottish comedian has been in recovery after undergoing intense treatment for ovarian cancer. Fans are excited to see the comedian back to her best, doing what she loves.
