Has to be beans Surely

Beans, beans, the musical fruit...the more you eat, the more you toot.......

Surely that should read '

adhesive tape

' to make sense?

In Australia, Sellotape is Durex....so when a work colleague of mine said 'Pass the Durex', I was a little bemused

In the US, Sellotape is Scotch.....and also in Italy....things can get very sticky

...........The more you toot the better you feel. So eat your beans at every meal.

Beans beans are state of the art. The more you eat, the more you fart

A gentleman never tells

JUST JESTING !!!!!!!! APPARENTLY WHEN THE BEATLES WERE YOUNG SPROGS IN HAMBURG THEY GOT TO MEET ONE OF THEIR IDOLS.......YEP....LITTLE RICHARD.....HE COMMENTED ON ALL RINGOS' JEWELRY AND SUGGESTED IF HE CAME TO HIS DRESSING ROOM HE'D GOT A MIGHTY FINE RING HE'D LIKE TO SHOW HIM..............RINGO DECLINED THE OFFER!!

" I'm like a one eyed cat peeping in a seafood store, I can look at you and tell that you ain't a girl no more".

It's actually "ain't no child no more". Early R & B and Blues are FULL of references to "jail bait". It puts a lot of things in perspective- like the current situation with a certain glittery British popstar....

As for the "Tutti Fruitti" front bottom reference...the original lyrics-Richards own apparently-were something along the lines of "Tutti Fruitti good booty, if it don't fit don't force it, you can grease it make it easy" They got a girl named Dorothy LaBostrie to clean it up- she wrote Irma Thomas's "Don't Mess With My Man" too. The 'Tuutti Fruitti" credits also show a Joe Lubin and he was born in London's Brick Lane, now the curry centre of London and co-incidently the site of Little Richard's last (to date) appearence in London. I had to share that.

You're right, Simon....memory can play cruel tricks...it is 'child'..... Over the hill and way down underneath....oh damn, i'll go and listen properly.... Jo

My favourite is still the Blenders 1953 "Don't Play Around With Love"

"Take a little advice from me,

Play around with TNT,

But baby

Don't f*** around with love"

You've forgotten about pebble dashing the walls as well.

Gawd, I remember this being played.....it may even have been at West Hampstead as all manner of things used to get played there including 'Big 10 Inch Record'.... how outrageous for a 1953 track....there's also a female vocal, maybe from the 1940's - 'I've got the meat shakin' on my bones'.....but I can't remember who sang this.
