The musician rhyming slang thread

[Beedster]

Inspired by the glorious.......

 

 

I need some cheering up around this weekend so how about we find some now rhyming slang? Obvious examples: "I'm so bloody Hank I could eat a Greggs" (Hank Marvin = starvin'), or "We're going to the Duke of York for a Leo " (Leo Sayer = all dayer as opposed to a Felix = Felix Lighter = all nighter). 

 

Upper respiratory tract infection resulting in regular expulsion of air from the throat = a David Lee Roth (shortened to a David Lee in the traditional rhyming slang protocol)

 

Must be musicians or bands, and the more apt the better, let's face it Hank Marvin always looked a little underfed....

Clearly considering what to have for dinner there.

Must be bad, even his guitar has lost its colour.

Postman Pat - stupid hat.

Particularly relevant for bass-players.

I know the OP said new (now) but, you can't leave out Ruby (Murray) = Curry. Arthur Daley would be turning in his grave if you did...

After your Ruby Murray, you might need to have a big Barry White?

That Ronnie Wood is Jaco for liking the Gail Anne’s, in fact he’s a Charring Cross Robert Palmer!

Gorr blimey!! 

 

There’s a lord of the flies if you get it.

Oh bugger it:

“That Ronnie Wood is notorious for liking the horseys, in fact he’s a horse farmer” 

No, you’re right. It really wasn’t worth it. 😂

The morning after a long night on the JJ, I was sat on the Frank, waiting for something to appear out of my Cilla, when suddenly I did huge Stevie all over the floor. Oh, the Kids From!

A David Lee = a cough

A Leo = An all dayer

A Postman = a hat

A Ruby/Pauline = a curry

Barry = shite

A Bush = a mate

A Stanley = a lark

Jonnie B = good

Pete = wrong

A Gary = .............

A Nathan = a Priest

A Miles = A c**t

A Peter = a Book

A Kilmister = a Jemmy

Jaco = Notorious

A Gail Anne - A horse

A Gordon = a Fling

A Chris = a Choir

To Pink = a To avoid

JJ = Ale

Frank = 

Cilla = 

To Stevie = To chunder

The Kids From = The shame

 

Plus a couple I've not quite worked out yet but it's early

 

Good work so far folks
