Following the trend in social media.

“Baby I can Drive my Car”

Or singing to Bohemian Rhapsody

Is this the A1?
Is this just coventry?
Caught at a castle
No escape from my family
Shitty disguise
I'm driving half blind can't see.
I'm just a poor sod
I need your sympathy
Cos its easy Cumms easy gos
Screw the world, I'm a pro
Everywhere I spread it

may7 ?

I didn't misunderstand the song. I am a big Bottles fan

Maybe it was too subtle.

I was being ironic

Maybe what was too subtle?

Irony? Can't see it myself

The Fool on the Hill is about an unusual man that the people, ( who are the fools themselves) deem to be foolish

So I suppose it is apt in a way.

Just not in the way you wanted

It represents a figure like the Beetles guru,the Marharashi . Thought to be very silly because of his high pitched giggle, but was in fact the total opposite. Totally misunderstood, mocked and derided. But under that appearance? a man of great wisdom.

Exactly, Jabberwok

May7 Sat 30-May-20 16:48:20

Yep too subtle

Oopsminty Sat 30-May-20 16:54:57

So, May7

You're trying to hide your embarrassment

Which is fine!

But what is subtle about posting a song on a Songs for Dominic thread? A totally inappropriate song as it is not about the 'fool', it's about the foolish people who mock him!

You posted the lyrics to a song you thought fitted in with all the mocking of this man

You even pointed out that you hadn't changed the words

You thought DC was the fool on the hill

You were wrong.

MissAdventure Sat 30-May-20 17:00:25

It doesn't matter though, so no point trying to cause an argument, eh?

Orangerose Sat 30-May-20 17:10:07

What a totally pathetic ridiculous thread. Silly, mocking, childish rhymes by people with nothing better to do.

MissAdventure Sat 30-May-20 17:11:52

Yep. smile

You don't have to read it Orangerose.

MissAdventure Sat 30-May-20 17:27:29

It does seem a bit strange to trawl through a thread full of rubbish, just to complain about it.

There is a 'hide thread' button.

Orangerose Sat 30-May-20 17:29:59

Oh but I have read it and that’s how I came to my conclusion. ?

May7 Sat 30-May-20 17:32:26

Funny rubbish though hey .... unless you were just looking for a row I guess

dinks13 Sat 30-May-20 17:43:54

Couldn’t agree with you more Orangerose, absolutely pathetic!!

MissAdventure Sat 30-May-20 17:46:42

I find quite a few things I find pathetic on here, but I live and let live.

It's the best way. flowers

Toadinthehole Sat 30-May-20 18:33:59

Oh, what a shame to put the ditty’s down, I think they’re all very good. As smileless says, you don’t have to join in. The ones on you Tube are good too. Keep writing everyone ?

silverlining48 Sat 30-May-20 18:46:28

I am enjoying them too, they made me smile, and that can only be a Good Thing.

May7 Sat 30-May-20 19:01:42

Let it go
Let it go
It's funny how some distance makes everything seem small
And the fears that once controlled us can't get to me at all
It's time to see what I can do
To test the limits and break through
No right, no wrong, no rules for me
I'm free
Let it go, let it go
I am one with the wind and sky
Let it go, let it go
You'll never see me cry
Here I stand and here I stay
Let the storm rage on.........

May7 Sat 30-May-20 19:04:08

..... Your opinions dont bother me anyway

Whitewavemark2 Sat 30-May-20 19:08:08

I shouldn’t take any notice. They are merely following Johnson’s effort at trying to stop criticism.

We, however live in a democracy - not that you’d notice at times.

Orangerose Sat 30-May-20 19:36:00

You come across as completely obsessed Whitewavemark2. Starting a ludicrous thread like this proves it.

Whitewavemark2 Sat 30-May-20 19:40:02

Sign the petition then orangerose sack Cummings and this will all stop.

Whitewavemark2 Sat 30-May-20 19:41:57

This might make you cheer up orange

MissAdventure Sat 30-May-20 19:59:15

And don't worry if not.
I'm thinking about my next song. wink

Nandalot Sat 30-May-20 20:14:32

My DD and I ( we are in lockdown together before you ask) have loved this thread and just sung all the songs through together. Thank you all.
