Markay Posted December 27, 2019 Share Posted December 27, 2019 As the only person on the road cruising in to work today I had Procol Harum's Broken Barricades turned up to 11 in the car. Now long time since I last listened to this album and looked down to check the name of the current song. It was Playmate of the Mouth. [video:youtube] Lead me to the thought that in my yoof from Frank Zappa on "We Are Only In It For The Money" there were a lot of witty, wry and play on words or phrases, Song and Album titles. So why, and when, did this stop?

Markay Posted December 27, 2019 Author Share Posted December 27, 2019 As straight humour I guess that updates songs like this [video:youtube] But what I was thinking of was more along the lines of "Too Stuffed to Jump" [video:youtube] Or [video:youtube] There are many more, just can't recall them ATM.

David R Posted December 27, 2019 Share Posted December 27, 2019 Did it stop? Off the top of my head there"s Bruce Hornsby"s 'Rehab Reunion' and Chris Thile"s 'If You"re Gonna Leave Me (Set Me Up With One of Your Friends).' Many of Thile"s songs of the week for Live From Here are pretty witty - he tends to switch between funny and earnest.

AnotherScott Posted December 27, 2019 Share Posted December 27, 2019 So why, and when, did this stop? In part when and because Frank Zappa died. Quote Maybe this is the best place for a shameless plug! Our now not-so-new new video at https://youtu.be/3ZRC3b4p4EI is a 40 minute adaptation of T. S. Eliot's "Prufrock" - check it out! And hopefully I'll have something new here this year. ;-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
