Quote from: beanheadmcginty on November 18, 2021, 07:29:11 PMIt's only just occurred to me that Duke Ellington is a pun on the Duke of Wellington.

I'm not sure that it was intentionally so. Ellington Was his real surname and he got called called "Duke" by his friends from an early age, on account of his demeanour.

They might have chosen "Duke" rather than "Earl" or "Lord" because of his surname, though.

It's always a trade-off with the final consonant of the title potentially leaking onto the surname over time.

Er Lellington

Much of a muchness really, but Earl has the worst result.

I recently realised that the 30 Helens in the Kids In The Hall sketches are probably not all called Helen. I know, but I was wondering how difficult it must be to get 30 elderly women called Helen all in a field, but they're probably professional extras or actors, yeah? It's not like herding cats.

Stevie Wonder called him the "King of all, Sir Duke."

The lyric in Walking in Memphis is "walking with my feet ten feet off of Beale". This is one of those songs where the misheard lyric used to vex me pre-internet, but which I have only just remembered I used to get annoyed by. I heard it as "walking with me feet and feet off of me" or "walking with me feet and feet off of veal", which clearly it wasn't.

"There's a pretty little thing waiting for the king down in the jungle room" is, however, still every bit as sinister as it used to sound.

The quite innocently framed "Bananas in Pyjamas" song and its spin-off materials are all exclusively about some male genitalia spunking down a flight of stairs.

And all parents know this when they teach it to their children.  Mums and dads wink and cackle to one another in "asides" as they do it.

"Soon our child will be singing about ejaculation!!"

Well of course all spin-off materials from all franchises are exclusively about spunking liberally down a flight of stairs, but 'Bananas in Pyjamas' is one of those ones that children are instructed to dwell upon until they dream about it, and it's even more popular than Santa Claus.

touchingcloth

The spin-off material is spunk

I've had it as an earworm for about three days. Dreadful.

I always thought the first line of Wind Of Change by The Scorpions was "Follow the last one, those who don't keep up, listening to the wind of change", which didn't make much sense but I assumed it was because they were German so something had been lost in translation and his accent was distorting it too (in my defence it's one of the only songs of their's that I know so I didn't realise they always sing in English). Discovering it's actually "Follow the Moskva, down to Gorky park" makes more sense now but tbh probably wouldn't have done when I was 10.

I've just realised that I thought that was "Follow in the cart / Down to Gorky Park".

I noticed an electric car drive by all silent and that earlier, and started wondering how easy it is to know when to change gears. Turns out it's very easy, because they have automatic rather than manual gears.

Apparently they don't have any gears, not even a CVT, but I just had to google that, I've never driven one.

The cover of Queen's Greatest Hits album: It's meant to look like a British passport isn't it? How have I not realised this until just before passports will be blue and that design idea won't work anymore?

Oh, er... yes. Now you mention it...

(She's started early)

Blue Jam

You know what Voltan? I had no idea there were separate US and UK editions either, and that the "passport" one was the US edition. Until now. D'oh.

I don't own either (evidently), and I'm not American, so I have no idea why I am more familiar with the "passport" one. Was the UK one reissued with a new cover or something?

I have also just learned there is a Queen's Greatest Hits 2, which is the same shade of blue as the old UK passport/new post-Brexit passport. Must be deliberate *paging buzby*

To be honest, not being much of a Queen fan I just googled to see what you were referring to and the cover I posted was the first one I saw. I saw the passport one too of course but posted the wrong one because I'm an unfunny twat hilarious.

Just reading about the Queen logo/coat of arms, which I'd never looked at closely despite it appearing on the front cover of Night at the Opera  and the British passport. Apparently the 2 fairies represent Freddie and the crab is Brian (who is a cancer).

When football fanatics warble "oh lay oh lay oh lay oh lay" they're actually stating how they - as good ol' patriotic English people - love to have their English tea prepared.  In French, though.
