Outstanding

Please keep these coming. I don't have Photoshop but they are very entertaining.

"America" - Simon & Garfunkel

I hadn't heard of Michigan as a child. I can't remember how I interpreted the line about Mrs Wagner's pies.

[Sorry, no fancy Photoshop!]

My favourite so far

is the John Fogerty one. Please keep them coming.

Lucas Hare | 8 May 2008 - 7:23am

I'd love to

and have just spent a good few minutes on my masterpiece, but haven't the foggiest how to link to images/upload images if the img html function is disabled. Fraser?

Jason Carter | 8 May 2008 - 9:43am

Images

Image HTML isn't disabled - it's BBcode which isn't allowed. And if that doesn't make sense, the FAQ reveals all.

Fraser Lewry | 8 May 2008 - 9:48am

Ha!

"The FAQ reveals all," he says. Ha! When you Wordies start a blog entry with a pics, you somehow manage to get the text to start flush to the right of them, rather than having an Unsightly White Space there with the text beginning below. So what's the trick?

Archie Valparaiso | 8 May 2008 - 10:08am

Aha!

We're getting into advanced HTML now. The trick we use there is the 'align' property.

<img src="http://www.site.com/image.jpg" align="left"> and the text here.

Fraser Lewry | 8 May 2008 - 10:25am

Cor!

And here - purely for testing purposes, you understand - is a picture of Kathy Kirby in her glossy prime.

Ta (again), Fraser.

Lyric Theatre

Fraser has got this splendid thread well sorted, but there has been some earlier web-based lyric lampoonery available from rathergood.com. They particularly favour
Mick Hucknall.
As well as;
Destiny's Child
Madonna.
Bronski Beat
Beatles again.

It's all in the timing

Great minds, etc...

"Watching the skirts you start to burp, now you're in gear".

Honestly, it wasn't until an hour ago that I realised that Lennon wasn't burping. Oh! Flirt!

Bat Out Of Hell

I misheard the lyric:

"I gonna ride a silver black phantom bike...." to

"Cilla Black phantom bike..."

Lotta of laughs ensured.
