"There's a Man in Iran," also known as the "Ayatollah Song," is a sharp satirical musical number from the British comedy series "Not the Nine O'Clock News" (1979-1982). This sketch exemplifies the show's knack for biting political commentary and irreverent humor.
The cast performs a parody song targeting the political climate in Iran following the 1979 revolution, with a focus on Ayatollah Khomeini. Through clever lyrics, the sketch mocks the drastic societal changes and theocratic rule that emerged after the Shah's overthrow.
Rowan Atkinson, Mel Smith, Pamela Stephenson, and Griff Rhys Jones deliver the song with exaggerated solemnity, amplifying its comedic impact. The lyrics humorously critique Khomeini's personality and policies, reflecting Western perceptions of Iran's transformed political landscape.
