Amazing how close these Sweetsong demos made by Mike Chapman are to the finished record. (you'll want to skip ahead past the early abject bubblegum pap to the "Wigwam Bam / Little Willie" onwards stompy stuff.)
Particularly on the level of the vocal inflections, the campy ad libs, the whole pitch of hysteria - almost all of it was worked out in advance.
Eventually the dummies assimilated the implanted style - so well they could generate their own material and dispense with the ventriloquist - a kind of self-parody but with the original "self" invented by another
