Pop punctuation

jazzjet's picture

Wonderful piece on Danny Baker's Radio London show this afternoon about changing the punctuation in pop song titles. Like 'Doctor. My eyes!'. Or 'Hey! Jude!'. Or 'Do They Know? It's Christmas!'.
I'm sure the Massive can come up with some more.

Leslie Phillips is tootling along

Leslie Phillips is tootling along the New Mexico section of Route 66 when he spots a pair of scantily-clad young dolly birds thumbing a ride. He pulls up and fruitily enquires with a twinkle in his eye: "California, girls?". As they hop into the back of the car he adjusts his rear view mirror, a lascivious smirk playing on his lips.

A humble Northampton cobbler is commissioned to make...

... two pairs of boots for local property magnate Walter King, known to all as "Wal" - one pair for Mr. King and a second pair for his wife. Upon completion the cobbler lets Mr. King know they're ready for collection and Mr. King sends along a lackey to pick up the boots. The lackey marches into the workshop, sees a pair of fur lined high heeled boots and jokes "These are a bit fancy for Mr. King, don't you think?!" The cobbler replies "Those boots were made for Mrs. King." Picking up a pair of size 13 oxblood riding boots he tells the lackey "These boots are made for Wal King."

I am informed

that Valerie Simpson was amazed to find Nickolas Simpson staring at a relatively small hillock while under the influence of marijuana, her songwriting partner convinced that he was actually at the foot of Everest. She summarily corrected his delusion and enquired whether he needed any more refreshment.
Hence....(25 points for the correct answer and 25 for any more quiz-type suggestions for the Massive)
