Grace Kelly vs Gordon Brown
Leading UK impressionist Rory Bremner recently turned to Mika to soundtrack his latest parody of Gordon Brown.
The sketch sees Rory Bremner - as Gordon Brown - sat at a piano and singing the Mika classic with subtly changed lyrics like "I tried to go on the telly/But my roots were too bad/Now I act like Machiavelli/I'm essentially mad."

The Inspiration For The Acoustic Tour...
The ‘Songs For Sorrow’ Acoustic Tour starts this Monday in Berlin, where Mika will bring his first new material for years to the stage, stripped down and unplugged.
Mika first became intrigued by the possibilities of acoustic shows completely by chance in February 2008, when an equipment truck was stranded in a snowstorm between Denver and Salt Lake City.
Mika and his crew moved mountains to prepare a stage set at the last minute for an unplugged show - you can see exactly how it worked out in the latest, blast-from-the-past mini-doc.
See how it all began...
Mika Video Blog
On 13 April 2009 Mika and world-famous blogger supreme Perez Hilton announced a very special intimate one-off gig to celebrate the completion of Mika's second album and the 'Songs Of Sorrow' EP.
The gig was in LA, where Mika spent the best part of five months in the studio recording the follow-up to 2007's multi-platinum 'Life In Cartoon Motion'.
Check out Mika's blog right now for an exclusive mini-documentary featuring burlesque dancers, an ice cream van, and some exciting new live footage of the man himself.
