What does Krishnan Guru-Murphy sound like?

Krishnan Guru Murthy: The TV Show
'He's the underdog, the Buzz Aldrin of news', goes the Krishnan Guru-Murphy Song

Krishnan Guru-Murthy has joined that elite bunch of TV types, mostly comprising BBC weathermen, who have had a song written about them. The Krishnan Guru-Murthy song is a catchy number which even earns the grudging praise of the man himself. "This isn't flattering, but it is funny, I suppose." You can see what he means with lyrics like "He's the underdog, the Buzz Aldrin of news" and "When he gets home he begins to cry because he's been outshone by Jon Snow's tie". We particularly like "The show's not all Jon, it's only two-thirds".
