Involuntary pop star word association
Posted by Brookster on 31 August 2010 - 9:11am.
Are there certain words or word pairs that involuntarily pop into your head at the mention or thought of a particular artist? Some of mine:
Stevie Nicks – kleptomania
Sheryl Crowe – toilet paper
Steve Strange – teletubby
Chuck Berry – hidden cameras
Mariah Carey – kittens
Van Halen – M&Ms

I misread the second one as
Cheryl Cole - toilet attendant
Mark E. Smith
Bus station
Van Morrison
Harmonica.
Thanks a bunch, you lot.
Led Zeppelin
Shark
Crosby, Stills or Nash
Moon sausage
Paul McCartney
Dead.
John Lennon
Mother.
George Formby: Oh, Mother!
Marianne Faithfull...
.....helps you work, rest and play......
Unfortunately
Marc Almond - oh, you know [and I know it's not true, but I can't help my mind making the association]
Pete Townshend - the "book I'm researching" which has unaccountably failed to appear so far
Whitney Houston - Sinitta
Is it just me ?
I am surely not the only person here who doesnt have a clue what Rosbif is talking about ??
I dont understand either comment.
Correct me if I'm wrong
but isn't there an urban myth about the erstwhile Tainted Love hitmaker involving a unlikely quantity of ejaculate and a stomach pump?
As for Pete, wasn't that part of his defence following the unfortunate business with the kiddie porn? "I'm researching a book about child abuse, 'cos it happened to me, like" (or words to that effect).
Correct on both counts, mojo
I was being deliberately non-specific about the first one, for reasons of (ahem) taste - perhaps I needn't have bothered! As for the Townshend one, yep, that was his excuse - the book hasn't seen the light of day, though.
