Excuse me while I kiss this guy
I'm not sure how many of you are familiar with Zero7, a bunch of guys who churn out some of the most amazingly chilled tunes. But today I found a hidden lyrical gem in the song, Destiny from the album, Simple Things.
This particular song is so mellow and reminiscent of summer time, once I've listened to the sultry tones of the female vocalist, I need a spoon to ladle me out of my chair.
Anyway, the lyric caught me out, because I'm that guy who picks up a spoken word or a song lyric and turns the thing into something .. shall we say, less reputable.
So on hearing this, I jumped into iTunes and scrubbed the play head back to listen to the words again. And, sure enough, they are indeed: "I'm watching porn in my hotel dressing gown."
Quite...

excellent. I still snigger about Turin Brake's catchy summer tune 'summer rain' last year which was blatantly about... well, I don't really need to explain it do I?
A mate of mine moved offices and had the chance to decorate the place in the corporate colour, which happened to be quite an odd shade of yellow.
Anyway, having pawed over the colour chart for quite some time, the nearest match they could find was unfortunately entitled: Golden Rain.
Much to the amusement of myself [working in the same offices for a while], my mate and his staff and much to the bemusement of the decorators who just couldn't quite fathom what we were all chuckling about...
He's lucky he's got porn in his dressing gown!
well someone had to say it, and it had to be me!
Golden rain? Brilliant. Round of applause to whoever managed to sneak that one passed the marketing folk!
I received some press info the other day about Paul o Grady doing an interview on a radio show.
The last sentence read: 'and afterwards our big competition - your chance to win a wind up trannie'.
Genius.
I've always like Julian Clary's little asides.
I remember him doing some show years ago. He breezed onto the stage to big round of applause and said: "I do like a warm hand on my entrance."
