- Is This the Way to Armadillo
Is This the Way to Armadillo is a spoof video of the song "Is This the Way to Amarillo" produced by the Royal Dragoon Guards stationed in Iraq. The video was emailed so frequently on 13 May 2005 it crashed a server at the Ministry of Defence.
The "Peter Kay" character is credited as "Lucky Pierre", an obscure sexual reference.
