INT. The discussion is of a deceased colleague. Along the lines of "I bet he's in heaven, dancing to his favourite song, Spi*it In The S*y."
A (MID 50s): I once did some work for the guy who did the original. What was his name?
ME: No*man Greenb*um.
B (18): Gar*th Ga*es?
A: No, Gar*th Ga*es did the cover version! What was his name?
PAUSE
A: I know! Cli*e Jack*on! He was in a band called Doc*or And The M*dics. They're still touring.
B: ?
ME: ?

I better not write Norman Greenbaum in here, or all the google searchers will be directed to you, won't they?
ReplyDeleteI much prefer Noman Greenbum.
ReplyDeleteA young music fan once told me how he loved The Offspring because "they do great original songs like Smash It Up".
ReplyDeleteVicus - Thank you for not mentioning Norman Greenbaum.
ReplyDeleteKaz - It has a ring to it.
Istvanski - The young have the excuse of ignorance. The old have the excuse of brain cell loss.
I do*'t und*rst*nd th* *oint o* th* st*rs!

It's so I can't be googled.
ReplyDeleteG*ogl*d?
ReplyDeleteBlimey. Your office sounds like a bag of laughs - that is good material for a sitcom there. I rather cruelly convinced our 25yr old receptionist last year that Beck (Hansen) was Hansen's (awful dental brace-wearing band of hormonal brothers) Dad. I swung it on saying: Yeaaah! Look at the hair - they have all got shoulder length blond hair and are short. They look just like him.
ReplyDeleteI feel so bad - she believed me - and still does. I was going to tell her the truth but have decided not to.
Tim - You have to be so careful, don't you?
ReplyDeleteRomo - It is a bit like a sitcom. I try to be 11 minutes late every day. I thought Jeff Beck was Beck's uncle.
Bev*rl*y Cal*ard's tits.
ReplyDeleteIt's too late for the asterisks. They come over in their droves for Bev's jugs.
ReplyDelete"Seasick Dave" is another one.
Rockmother - I did a similar thing to someone in our office a few months ago, never thinking she'd believe me. I had every intention of setting her straight, only now I can't remember what lie it was I told her.
ReplyDeleteThe way you can both annunciate asterisks is amazing.
ReplyDeleteOur asterisks are galling.
