It's also jsut not wildly funny,it's a very old joke with no real twists.
Maybe if when the band are old and ugly they get fed to Rik?

Bussell isn't even real Sooty; he's just an idea in trousers. With hair.
That is his power, you can't kill an idea.
Could be they're being fed the processed failed bands 
I'll give it some thought, I have an image in my head of how it'll look, especially with them singing, until then it'll amuse me and no one else I spose

No, but you can kick it in the throat and giggle.

Sorry for temporarily going off topic but - true story - I was once ushered off a railway station platform in Nottingham (due to industrial action, there was a bus replacement service). I joined a throng on the pavement, waiting for the bus driver to turn up. I sensed anxiety among the passengers, but I wasn't worried - we'd all get on, I reckoned. Then I turned round and - oh, the horror - realised Rik Waller was among the crowd. You wouldn't want him sitting next to you on a crowded bus, would you?
Never heard of Rik Waller. The middle of the sketch is pretty grotesque, but the ending lets it down because I didn't understand it, or how it related to the rest of it.
The whole Rick Waller thing was really an after thought...the beef of it will be the monsters singing 
I visualised Matt Lucas in his fat suit as the fat man drinking the gloop. 
Yeah you're getting it
Seeing them sing so "beautifully" could be made to be quite funny, would probably be quiet expensive though hehe
