Never known to shy away from the important business of the day, here are The Chairman’s observations from a trip to That London on Sunday.
Dua Lipa
Can you believe that we come all the way down to London and I get served by one of the most glamorous famous singers in the country?
Q: Who’s that then Charley?
A: Dua Lipa
Q: Who’s that then Charley?
A: Dua Lipa, one of the most beautiful singers in this country
Q: Who’s that then Charley?
A: Dua Lipa she sang New Rules, you know, her and Calvin Harris
Q: Who’s that then Charley?
(this goes on for a little bit in a similar rein)
Q: So are you saying that one of the biggest selling artists in British pop culture, has a Sunday job in Spoons and served you breakfast then, Charley?
A: Well no, but it did look a lot like her. Can’t believe you don’t know who Dua Lipa is.
Meaningless music
Q: Can you imagine Sting and The Police go up and do a gig in Scotland and they get introduced on stage as “The Polis”
A: Eh?
Q: Like what can you believe what these old bands got away with in the 80’s?
A: Eh?
Q: Well, can you imagine if nowadays someone released a song title that was just a load of old nonsense?
A: Eh?
Q: De do do do, de da da da, that’s all I want to say to you. That’d get slammed on social media.
A: It’s a good song that.
Q: Imagine if I put that up on facebook as my status – de do do do, de da da da, everyone would just laugh
A: No comment
The song lyrics have been investigated for this piece, and lo and behold, Sting actually had an important message in the title, please see link below.
I am not casting any judgement about how pretentious Sting was (is) but anyone who saw Dune might understand where I am coming from..
