The Great Plum Initiative of 1979 had entirely slipped my mind. I have shamed myself and will now withdraw from public life. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Come on. One of the densest metals on earth and you've somehow walked through a field of it.

Bridgehouse Posted June 30, 2020 Share Posted June 30, 2020 “He’s got a brand new car. Looks like a Jaguar. It’s got a CD player” Nope. On many occasions when I did have a brand new car it wasn’t a Jaguar. There were a few occasions when it had a CD player. However, on the occasion I did have a brand new Jaguar, a black XF I hasten to add, it didn’t have a CD Player. It had a hard drive system that allowed connection by USB or Bluetooth to allow files to be copied over for playing later. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bridgehouse Posted June 30, 2020 Share Posted June 30, 2020 “I blame you for the moonlit sky” How on earth can I influence the lunar cycle and adequate clear skies? “And the dream that died with the eagles flights” Unless I forcefully made the 70’s US Superband get on a jet and fly off, then no. And no, satellites do not sleep. They may go into a standby mode retaining an element of “being on” but actually sleeping? Nope. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maude Posted June 30, 2020 Share Posted June 30, 2020 Blancmange, Living on the ceiling. This song is sung in the first person but that would make the title (and content) physically impossible. Now if it were sung about a piece of blancmange that had been flicked up there by an unruly child then, although 'living' would be factually incorrect, then it would make much more sense. Mr. Collins, buck your ideas up! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frank Blank Posted June 30, 2020 Share Posted June 30, 2020 There's a green one and a pink one And a blue one and a yellow one And they're all made out of ticky tacky And they all look just the same It might well be a thinly disguised dig at post-war suburbia and the inherent conformism of the vast majority of American citizens but green, pink, blue and yellow boxes, made of ticky tacky or not, are easily recognised as distinct and very different entities.

Mr. Collins, buck your ideas up! It is clearly about a party that I went to when I was young that got gatecrashed by some unruly youths who decided to have a food fight.

Japhet Posted June 30, 2020 Share Posted June 30, 2020 (edited) I'd have to question Patrick Hernandez assertion that 'we were born to be alive' since there doesn't seem to be any real alternative. Edited June 30, 2020 by Japhet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JJTee Posted June 30, 2020 Share Posted June 30, 2020 (edited) I have serious doubts over Agnetha and Anna-Frid’s claim that they can “feel the beat from the tambourine, oh yeah-eh-eeeh”.

Japhet Posted June 30, 2020 Share Posted June 30, 2020 (edited) I've been listening carefully for some time now and I've heard lots of things but NOT Radio Ga Ga or Radio Goo Goo either. I'm also pretty sure Bono hasn't climbed Mount Everest as he claimed. Edited June 30, 2020 by Japhet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stub Mandrel Posted June 30, 2020 Share Posted June 30, 2020 I've just gone through a number of Bob Calvert's lyrics looking for non-sequiturs and although his musings on the nature of space are unconventional they have a disturbing tendency to be factually accurate. I mean "Space is neither truth nor lies" isn't going to get you an astrophysics PhD but it's undeniably true... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
