An Entity of Type: agent, from Named Graph: http://dbpedia.org, within Data Space: dbpedia.org

The Capitol Steps was an American political-satire group that performed from 1981 to 2020. Most of the Capitol Steps' material parodied well-known contemporary songs, usually introduced with a short skit. The songs were interspersed with other routines, including a spoonerism routine ("Lirty Dies") near the end of each performance with innuendoes about recent scandals. They have released over 40 albums, primarily song parodies. Originally consisting of congressional staffers who performed around Washington, D.C., the troupe was later primarily made up of professional actors and singers. The Capitol Steps have performed on PBS, public radio and in small- and medium-size venues around the United States. On January 13, 2021, the Capitol Steps announced via Twitter that they would be shutting

  • Die Capitol Steps sind eine Gruppe von Unterhaltungskünstlern aus den Vereinigten Staaten, die sich satirisch mit US-amerikanischer Politik auseinandersetzt. Der Gruppenname ist eine Anspielung auf den früheren Kongressabgeordneten John Jenrette, der bei einer nächtlichen Sitzung des Kongresses eine Sitzungspause zum Sex mit seiner Frau auf den Stufen des Kapitols nutzte und damit einen Skandal auslöste.
