No, I didn't find anything deeper in the Sinatra double-pun. I did recognise the Georgia song reference, but I warn't sure which Georgia... Leslie, we're so "retro", as some of my nephews and nieces are wont to tell me. Mind you, those same kids keep asking me where they can get "The Clash" and the Beetlz. What goes around, comes around I guess - hop on board the Retro Express! Too good puns!

Thanks for cluing me in, Adam, even if I'm cursing myself for missing it myself. It was really good. I kept looking at it thinking I was missing something. At least I was right about that! Oh, oh!

The Snotra tune also did the commercial jingle thing to me, but I missed the "Georgia on My Mind," I guess because the topic was so bloody serious. And it's ok for Ray Charles to rattle around in my head, dammit. Curse you twice, Felber.

I was proud of <i>that</i> one. Great, great… but did no-one get the similar reference in the title of the previous post? I was proud of that one.

If Pete had something else, I don't know about it either. Now, if you can make that Dylan reference a Dylan Thomas reference, I'd be more interested... All I got was the song.

If there is another reference or pun, (I don't think there is. Isn't Sinatra enough?) I'd like to know. Aww heck, someone make one up. Surely a Dylan reference can be construed.

Wait, be careful how you answer that. I sit next to a 30-year-old at work who delights in telling me all the movies and songs I mention that she doesn't recognize. I'm working on switching things around from me being old to her being uncultured, but honestly I just feel old. Ah, well, she doesn't know what she's missing!

Holy handbasket, I thought you were as brave as it gets as a comedian, but this puts you in Nobel nomination territory as far as I'm concerned! Give 'em hell! Isn't it great how good your own voice sounds in your own head? I used to think I could kinda hold a tune, but I 'accidentally' recorded my own voice seriously trying to "sing along" with one of my favourite songs some time ago. It sounded so offal I didn't even recognise it at first. It sounded kinda like a Stuka attacking a pig. So I have nothing but R E S P E C T for anyone who can sing, a capella or a a capella. Start spreddin' the nooze... (You're quicker than me picking up the pun, Emmarie!) Improv singing?

I finally got the "start spreading the news." Ummm... On the good side, I never knew it was an accomplishment that I admit I can't sing. Wow. I finally got the “start spreading the news.” Ummm…

On the good side, I never knew it was an accomplishment that I admit I can’t sing.
