"Commons of House" is a song from Spitting Image. It is a dance number about the goings-on at Westminster, and features a large cast of political puppets.

The song features Margaret Thatcher, Geoffrey Howe, Norman Tebbit, Nigel Lawson, Leon Brittan, David Owen and David Steel, Neil Kinnock, Roy Hattersley, Edwina Currie, Tony Benn and Ken Livingstone among others, who dance on the benches of the Commons, throw paper at each other and beat each other up while singing about what it takes to be an MP ("talking crap", and "getting common").
