In days of yore, with Bandstand, Ed Sullivan and so on, many radio stations ran Battles of the Sounds or something with a similar name. They were always doing "versus" competitions, e.g. Elvis v The Beatles and so on.
Well let's try one of these. Here are four for your delectation. Which do you vote for?
Mac the Knife's contribution [I want a hairstyle and lips like that]:
Dearieme's contribution:
The Economic Voice's contribution:
My contribution - a lilting ballad for the sensitive:

ReplyDeleteAh, Hob, a student ball in about '65 or '66, long before I knew her.

ReplyDeleteI would have to go with Surfin Brid though
