GUEST,Bobby Bob, Ellan Vannin Most inane couplet (116* d) RE: Most inane couplet 04 Jan 08


With regard to alanabit's nomination of I Saw Her Standing There, the original lines by Paul McCartney were to have been -

She'd never be a beauty queen,
But . . . etc.

It was Mr Lennon who suggested the more vague (and suggestive) You know what I mean?

I also thought that Bonnie is a bit hard on Teddie O'Neill. It's surely just the style of song, more would-be whimsical than plain awful, more pathos than pathetic.

Unfortunately, I was beaten to the Bernie Taupin lines, which I've always thought poor. However, with the 12 days still upon us, I think we ought to thank Slade for the wonderful thought,

It's only just begun.

More moronic than oxy, I fancy.

Lhiuish,

Bobby Bob
