Kam-BU 'Eton Mess' by Jay Green

Rob Ulitski - 17th Nov 2022

Jay Green reunites with Kam-BU to deliver a biting and very timely state-of-the-nation satire to accompany the rapper's fierce polemic against the current Conservative government. 

Kam-BU's lyrics for Eton Mess speak about how current government legislation treats the working class population with contempt, and how the Tory party is making a mockery of the British political landscape. In the video, the artist is working in a corner shop, while the latest in a series of puppet prime ministers - Richard Fibber - is making false promises on TV.

Inspired by the most famous of all puppets, Green has Fibber's nose get ever-larger and longer, Pinnochio-style, as he spins out more lies, and makes more backroom deals. Meanwhile Kam-BU is the disillusioned everyman who stands up to him and the government, taunting him online and off. And with an uncanny sense of art representing life, the lying and cheating soon catches up to the man in charge.

With a captivating, fast-moving style, including superb use of both prosthetics, VFX and animation, Green packs a huge amount into the less-than- two minute running time - and sends a message of hope that good people can still bring bad people to account.
