02 Dec 05 - 09:12 AM (#1618465) Subject: BS: Crisp Songs please From: Geoff the Duck This morning I received a letter informing me that I have won an Apple i-pod mini. It was a free draw at a local supermarket, so I expect I actually must have wone for real. Makes a nice change to actually Get something. Anyway - the promotion was at a branch of ASDA in conjunction with Walkers Crisps. So - I will have about 4GB of music to put on it - Who can come up with the best suggestions for Crisp - related songs? I realise that I am talking English as spoken in parts of the United Kingdom, so the U.S. contingent might feel left out. Never mind - I will open the definition to include potato chips and any other small bagged snacks - but excluding nuts.... (there are plenty of them already on the Mudcat!). Take it away folks... Quack! Geoff the (Lucky) Duck. |

02 Dec 05 - 11:43 AM (#1618600) Subject: RE: BS: Crisp Songs please From: GUEST,leeneia "because "crisps" is hard to say!" Good observation, Bill D. My sister is a switchboard operator, and she asked my sis-in-law, a teacher of English as a Foreign Language, for hints in dealing with Asian callers who are not good at English yet. The sis-in-law said that few other languages pile up consonants the way English does. An Asian speaker, confronted with a name like "Strong" for example, heads for the vowel and ends up asking for someone like "Song" or "Ong." This observation has helped my sister at the switchboard. It's a good thing for everyone to know. |

I was driving my new truck you see, And thought it would be a wag. To pick them up and have a chat, I'd heard that they are good talkers. But when I offered them a lift, They said "sorry no, were WALKERS" Composed by Mike Hill,2/12/05 To the tune of the Lincolnshire Poacher |

02 Dec 05 - 02:18 PM (#1618722) Subject: RE: BS: Crisp Songs please From: GUEST Hmm GS. My fading memory of LP would go When I was just a potato crisp in famous Lincolnshire. I was stuck in the mud I really was for nearly 1/2 a year ... At the end something like: "She was a funny one my pickled onion but very good company". GW, I guess though I think it was nuts had "Golden Wonder, Their Jungle Fresh" I think. And I have some jingle iin the back of my mind from years ago - "Smiths are our favourite crisps". |

02 Dec 05 - 02:25 PM (#1618731) Subject: RE: BS: Crisp Songs please From: Les from Hull Who can ever forget the 'prefab four's' wonderful song Cheese and Onions. Rutlemania anyone? I have always thought in the back of my mind Cheese and onions I have always thought that the world was unkind Cheese and onions Do I have to spell it out? C-H-E-E-S-E-A-N-D-O-N-I-O-N-S-oh-no Man and machine Keep yourself clean or be a has-been like a dinosaur Got a device For everthing nice You better think twice at least once more (Neil Innes) (There's an Eric Idle story on the 'All you need is cash' DVD of him, Neil, Ringo Starr and George Harrison round at George's talking about this song and discussing whether they should go out as a Rutles tribute band!) And there's a verse in the Byker Hill I do in reggae style When Gary Lineaker went to Spurs They gave him the number nine shirt Expensive cars he's getting two or three He say "Walker's Crisps done well by me" |

02 Dec 05 - 02:47 PM (#1618757) Subject: RE: BS: Crisp Songs please From: GUEST Sanp , Crackle Pop was also known in the UK, Mmario. My favourite of the breackfast cereal (etc), ones though I can think at the moment though would be Shreaded Wheat - nice stuff but my father dislikes Ian Botham (a cricket player and a good all rounder) to the point of never wanting to eat it again. Probably the closet I got that way was Curries always cutting prices (white goods) ads. Think I could have throttled (not really - I'm not like that) that woman. Best on jingles I gan get to off hand I remember was the simple "For Mash Get Smash". It had martians with tin hats (so bad they were comical themselves) and commputer type "metalic voices" talking and laughing about our making of mash. Somethhing vaguely on the lines of One you first visit to earth, did you discover what the earth people eat? They eat a great many of these. The peel them with thier metal knives, boil them for 20 of thier earth minutes then they smahs them up to bits - clearly a most primitave people. At which point the tin martians are falling over laughing at our love of the humble spud. |
