When you put 'Downhearted' I thought you might have been referring to the Aussie Crawl classic song, so I took another line from the song... not the first time I've had to explain my sometimes obtuse sense of humour. :-[ :-[ Back to the drawing board... :(

It's OK Baggers I got where you were coming from, and it was certainly appropriate! The song wasn't in my mind when I posted though. This was a phrase in popular use at a very disaster-prone company I used to work at and came out particularly when, after a lot of hard work by employees, the management would stuff-up in a right-royal manner and negate it. Seemed to fit our plight as "old men". I was trying to communicate to you my dilemma, as an old bloke, as to whether my broken dreams ever started.

Baggers...I presume you read the lyrics to " Downhearted" and didnt try and interpret the vocals...... ;)

Yes, it was the D-Gen, late 80's around 1988. You can find the skit on their "2nd best of" DVD, or so I've read.

That's a great title for a song!
Is it a coincidence that many of histories best loved songs suffer from this issue, or is that confusion actually the reason for them being so widely loved?
If the lyrics and meaning was clear, would they have the same broad appeal?

:)) :)) :)) spot on!
Split this off the Sylvia thread....it's a bit of fun, the other not so much...a bit sad.

"Wrapped up like a douche another roller in the night" ;)

Lods, whilst you're doing a little housekeeping, maybe also split the "funny names" posts from the Hamish McIntosh discussion into their own thread ? For those who like their sub Carry On humour served neat. :D

Good call Paul...It actually turned out to be easier to split the few actual Hamish comments from the 'funny names' thread :D
"Wrapped up like a douche another roller in the night" ;)
Even though I was a broadcaster playing this brilliant song every day I thought for years the lyric was, 'Wrapped up like douche and they rode her in the night...!!!'
Incredible how you can thinks the lyrics are one thing yet turn out to be another... as for James Reyne... :o :o

For those not familiar with it, the song is "Blinded by the Light", a Manfred Mann's Earth Band cover of a Springsteen song where they changed the words slightly to go "Revved up like a deuce"...referring to a hot rod deuce coupe.
It sounds for all the world like "wrapped up like a douche"
After years of wondering, knowing it couldn't possibly be that, I looked up the lyrics a while back...
I haven't heard it a lot since but the song came on the car radio as I was driving back from town today :D
Strange co-incidence, I thought. ;D
I listened very carefully.... and I get the feeling they knew exactly what they were singing ::)...and it wasn't "revved up like a deuce." :))

The very best of pareidolia hard at work!
Really, how clever is it for him to identify phrases like that knowing he can make that suggestion to you in a manner from which you will never be able to forget it!
