A good friend of ours who shall remain nameless to protect her from further embassasment has recored a song written by another good friend, Pete Ryder.

In the song Pete refers to drinking that fine sippin' stuff from the west side of the Atlantic, Wild Turkey. In the cover version our friend, not being a heavy drinker or aquainted with the niceties of booze, calls it 'Wild Turtle'.

Pete has not been able to sing the original since without bursting into fits of giggles:-)

Another thing I noticed on a wider scale is that in the excelent TV series about the Napoleopnic wars 'Sharpe', John Tams, who plays a character called Hagman, sings 'King George commands and we obey, over the hills and far away'. This fits in with the series but I reckon in years to come this will become the standard rather than the 'Queen Anne commands...etc' that I learned it as.

Possibly interesting thread, Shula.

Cheers
