Empty-Orchestral Manoeuvres in the Pub
I am not at all confident that the title of this post is spelled correctly.
We had a lovely lunch today with the Other Half's mum and dad. We tucked into chicken in mushroom sauce, with mashed potatoes and peas (and the braver among us had other vegetables although not the Other Half as, if it's not a pea, he won't go near it), and OH's mum told us all about how the bull on the farm they stayed near in Dorset is going to be killed and burned as he "can't do the business" any more. There then followed a lively discussion on bull semen, what might be done to improve the quality (the Other Half suggested it might be a bit cold outside for that sort of thing) and whether the other bulls might laugh at the poor infertile one. And then OH's mum did an impression of a bull doing what bulls do. Which was sort of reminiscent of the diner scene in When Harry Met Sally and a little discomfiting, to say the least.
In other news, it's karaoke time tonight. What do you think I/we should sing?

To be fair, most of the childish sniggering and innuendo was coming from our end of the table. My parents were largely oblivious to the more subtle comments made such as if bulls could score viagra !!!
As for karaoke tonight...I plan to be a drunken but supportive by-stander...unless by some fluke of bad luck they have the theme tune to 'Minder' in their collection in which case I'm screwed.
"Islands in the stream" by Kenny and Dolly.
Or "Get up (sex machine)" by James Browne.
Or "Firestarter" by the Prodigy.
Always happy to help.
fairy tale of new york - pouges and the late great kirsty mccoll
sk8er boy - that bird (saw someone in their thirties do this recently was one of the best times of my life) not that i want you to look stoopid or anything!
Since You've Been Gone by Rainbow is also another tune that might encourage me to wail a bit.
i thought you were in a meeting?
As it's your current earworm, why not Bonnie Tyler?
Or my particular karaoke favourite - "Brass in Pocket" by the Pretenders. There's nothing like a drunken woman with lipstick on her teeth and loo roll stuck to her shoe telling everyone in the pub that she's "special".
That scene from When Harry met Sally had me in tears, I was laughing so hard. I can't really picture it from a bull's perspective although I'd imagine it would attract quite a bit of attention.

The movie Kingpin is funny just for the splendid bull semen joke in it.
yes but what am i going to sing?
Anything by The Hoff. You know you want to.
Doubtful whether the Karaoke machine would have such delights though; you might have to travel to Germany for that.
Don't It Make You Feel Good by Stefan Dennis.
White Wedding by Billy Idol, or Begin The Beguine by Julio Iglesias.
I think you should do a duet of Meatloafs' "Paradise by the dashboard light."
waiting for a star to fall by boy meets girl
you'll tape it, yes?
would like to hear, y'see
*smirks*
"I want you to want me" by Cheap Trick is always a crowd-pleaser.
AMERICAN PIE!!!! :)
Crazy For You with your eyes closed. It's a must for any karaoke.
"London Calling" by the Clash. Used to be my Karaoke favourite whenever dragged there by work colleagues.
Ah, happy days!
What a night !!! After resolutely refusing to sing I was convinced by SG...and a few pints of Stella. We proceeded to sing our heads off, firstly providing backing vocals on Summer of 69, then an OH / SG duet on Since You've Been Gone (The Rainbow classic). I think there were other performances but the rest of the night is a bit hazy !!!!!!!!
