Having taken Gail to the airport to fly to Northern Ireland for two weeks, my brother phoning with his marital problems and not having won the lottery, life today was turning pretty s-aitch-1 t. I then played a record sent to me by my favourite niece ..... okay, as she tells everyone - "I'm his only bloody niece" !
Now, I have a wierd sense of humour carefully polished by my time as one of Her Majesty's assassins but I did not realise just how I had infected the next generation of our family who are the responsible parents of the next generation until I carefully listened to the lyrics ( I concentrate more on music as I flatly refuse to have television in the house) and - courtesy of a lady who will remain nameless but I love her to bits, my niece Anita - I offer the following tracks that you should listen to at least once ..... although twice, just to hear the lyrics properly would be better. Here we go, two three four :
The Bad Touch - The Bloodhound Gang
Animals - Nickleback
Volvo Driving Soccer Mom - Everclear
F*** Me Pumps - Amy Winehouse
He Almost Looks Like You - Otis Lee Crenshaw ( Pee'd my self hearing this one)
and - dedicated to whoever
Billy Brown - Mika
See if you can get them to listen to on the interweb thingy ! Music style may not be quite according to your taste but the lyrics are , well, I laughed out loud !
And, given the histrionics on this page in the past - hang in there Billy Brown !
I've probably been blue-pencilled or barred, but, hey, I'll live - and it's still funny !
