In 2014 the former BBC Radio 1 DJ Mike Read released ‘UKIP Calypso’. Endorsed by the UK Independence Party’s leader, Nigel Farage, it complained of ‘illegal immigrants in every town’. ‘Copycat Crime’ was a direct response: genuine calypso confronting the imposter. Alexander D Great is not just complaining (wittily) about cultural appropriation, but about Read’s anti-immigration politics.
