In the biography of Billy Connolly I’m reading, his wife (the author) reveals the extent of abuse he suffered as a child. Almost inevitably, he countered it with humour and she explains that one of his early songs was a parody of the Crystals’ “And then he kissed me” but re-titled as “And then he kicked me”.
At the very moment I was reading that, the Hollywood Brats’ version launched in my ears, from the compilation of “Stiff” label artists I was listening to. It ends with a highly camp “Mmwwaah” that never fails to make me smile.
But how bizarre a coincidence was that?
Crossing London Bridge this morning, free Financial Times were being handed out. I just thought it was a bit odd that a paper that reports on the business industry was actually giving away its own product?
Oh. So it’s just me, then…
