The comic said: “It is a tale of espionage in South America!

“I have a friend who runs Loom studios in Birstall – they were telling me they wanted me to do a comedy song.

“I had been watching the biting incident at the World Cup, so I decided to make one about that.”

The song’s chorus goes: “I was bit by Luis Suarez/And it wasn’t just a peck/When I was bit by Luis Suarez/I got it in the neck.”

The video features terrace-style chanting, and some pub regulars waving maracas. It was shot on Wednesday, and is currently being edited.

Jimmy, based in Rochdale, said: “I really enjoyed filming up here.

“The views from Hartshead are beautiful – the Spen Valley is such a picturesque place.”

The veteran comedian still tours regularly, and said he has shows within the next week in Hunstanton and Skegness.

He added: “I might even get the crowd to join in with an acapela version of the song!”
