Thread Name: Silly short songs
Subject: RE: Silly short songs
Not quite the same thing, but Peter Blegvad's song The Only Song goes like this:

Imagine a world where this was the only song
And against your will
You had to sit and listen to it all day long
Until it made you ill

The second verse goes like this:

Imagine a world where this was the only song
And against your will
You had to sit and listen to it all day long
Until it made you ill

The third verse... you get the idea.

I saw the comedian Rory McGrath once as part of a semi-jokey C&W act, I forget what they were called. They had one song which had one of those rather mumbly "when I wake up with my love beside me" openings...

"And I lean to her and kiss her
And her kiss is warm and tender
And it feels just like the first time
And she opens her eyes wide
And she says

Who...
The fuck are you?
Who the fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck are you?
Who the fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck..."

It ended there.
