LMFAO – to quote a mutual friend!!!
Haha! Hey Feli! That’s you!
And the classic Creedence one, “There’s a bathroom on the right.” Full disclosure, I actually thought “She’s got electric boobs, a bowl of soup” were the real lyrics. :shame:
Haha! Hang your head!
Amazing what we think we hear…or don’t hear. I watched the video and didn’t understand a word!
Oh really!? Haha! Which video?
I had a hard time with both, but the Two Ronnies was a mystery to me.
Ah right! The accents?
Yeah, I’m not sure what language they were speaking. 😉
Brilliant. I never knew there was a word for this – they’re such fun. You mean he DOESN’T mention douches in Blinded by the Light? Always thought that! And I never knew what Kurt said on Teen Spirit and the band never printed the lyrics that I know of. Though why I haven’t just Googled it, I don’t know.
There’s always ‘So Lonely’ by The Police, that’s definitely ‘Sue Lawley’ – back in the days when Sue was on the telly, of course.
A great post. You made me smile.
Here’s mine for the week – late again, though, as I’m just back from sleeping in a shipping container at the Eden Project. 🙂

I loved your W4W!
What’s this about a shipping container?!
Thank you. 🙂 Haha! Not trying to smuggle myself OUT of the country, honest – it’s cheap (ish) accomodation run by the YHA in the grounds of Eden. Sleeping pods made from old shipping containers – compact but fun. And ensuite – hooray!
Sounds pretty cool
Apart from the drunks and the rampaging small children – it was 🙂
Ha!
