Hey ho

[cosmolinguist]

A car went by my window honking its horn--an occurrance that is by no means rare, but this time it involved a distinct rhythm.

Beep! Beep! B-b-beep! ...

Gee, I thought. That sounds a little like ... Nah, stupid brain, playin' tricks on me. But then it finished.

Beep! Beep! Beep-beep!

Yes, in the time he (or she, but I bet it was a he; this seemed like a "he" thing to do) was within earshot of my house, that driver had chosen to perform the first few seconds of The Ramones' "Let's Go" on his car horn.

I can never, ever hear that song without thinking of Mark & Lard's skit on it - "Oi, oh, where's Joe?" (To be found on the Shirehorses first album!)

Er. Whoops. I sometimes forget you're American and may have missed them. I present:

I sometimes forget you're American ...

Heh. WHy thank you. Well, maybe, depending on what you think I am instead. :-)

Thank you for the link, though, as I indeed had no idea what you were talking about. Which is okay, and something I'm used to, but it's also delightful to find out about anything called "The Ra-Gnomes."

Sorry, I have a tendency to assume people have listened to the same stuff I have when growing up :$ Glad you were amused, though - this lot got me through my GCSE exams sane :-)

Unfortunately, I don't think Holly's even heard half the stuff they're parodying. "Feel Like Shite" was always my favourite of theirs...

Hee! I really liked pretty much all of them. Right now i'm humming 'Lardy Boy' by Gazebo, ho ho, especially for the line "and his catchphrase is i'm inane and braindead"... oh man, that was the funniest album ev-ah and i must go and dig it out and listen to it again.
