They did both when doing political satire. Not everything they did was in song.

Lirty Dies skits come to mind....

I’ve seen them many times but I’ve never seen them do comedy.

I hadn't heard of this group until I read this thread. My son and I watched the clip and loved it. So funny. I heard someone do something similar with the Cinderella story about 40 years ago - 'If you want to marry a pransome hince, slop your dripper!'

I tried to find a clip of the group singing, but nothing came up.
