Paddywhack Posted January 16, 2018 Share Posted January 16, 2018 I saw the puns on this page and assumed someone from Bread had died but wasn’t sure whether it was going to be the band or the sitcom. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rjw63 Posted January 16, 2018 Share Posted January 16, 2018 Ed Doolan gone at 77. Typically, I've had him for the last two years and left him out this time, oh I'm so hard done by. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Albrighton Posted January 16, 2018 VT Supporter Share Posted January 16, 2018 E double D double O L A N That’s Ed Doolan. Haven’t listened to WM in ages but it’s that jingle I remember being played whenever I tuned in to hear about the Villa. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quote Rape Rape - rape - rape, rape, rape! Rape - rape, rape, rape! It's utterly amazing how many different kinds of rape there are! There's Italian Rape Uno, due, tres, quatro, cinque, quante Lira. Look into my eye-a-balls, you will see the fire! How much Lira have you got-a ? Only a quarter? Oh Madonna, you didn't oughta - for that I'll have your daughter ! Japanese Rape, of course! American Rape is full of hate and we're told, practically every minute of the hour. And the way we're going we'll never be late, Except for that date, with impatient Black Power! Beginnings of Chinese Rape - endless! One does need time, as any Englishman will explain, If only to apologise for the agonising convenience caused To Mother Nature's forbidden walls! In France of course, where fun is greedy, The women are a little more seedy. And rape is hardly ever necessary. So even if the Franc is down, la plume de ma tante is always up and around! In Germany it isn't always remembered, What with Liszt, Wagner and Tannhauser, The rape is synonymous with whips, bunkers and Mauser. Which makes it all comparatively kinky - With gas thrown in to get rid of the stinky! In Russia it's far too cold for anything so bold! And being notoriously political (if a trifle hypocritical) Rape becomes piratical, And Czechoslovakia far more suitable! Which makes the whole thing rather nasty, tasteless and hasty. But as Jason King would say, it depends so much on what you fancy! Words and Music by Hubert Valverde and Peter Wyngarde - EMI Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xann Posted January 18, 2018 Share Posted January 18, 2018 We had to be a little careful with that one when playing it out, 'Neville Thumbcatch' is fun though. There's a Yann Tiersen album that suddenly becomes offensive out the blue, that too would provoke a sprint to the PA to ffwd the track before the complaints started.

veloman Posted January 21, 2018 Share Posted January 21, 2018 Didn't know this muso, but must have been some bass player to play with Rod Argent ! He was not the original bassist with The Kinks; that was Peter Quaife I think; we supported them at The Belfrey in (about ) 1970 - 'Lola' had just hit No 1 in the Top Twenty.
