Hugh Laurie: American Folk Singer?

On the British comedy series "A Bit of Fry and Laurie" (you have to use the quotation marks as Steven Fry often points out), Hugh Laurie often pretends to be an American folk singer, with ludicrous and humorous folk songs. Although this is always played for laughs, his 4th series tribute to Steffi Graf is really quite amazing. After hearing it, I think Hugh Laurie would make a better American folk singer than most REAL American folk singers. Of course, most Americans hear Hugh Laurie's American accent from that House show, but I think he missed his calling.
