Ladies and gentlemen, we have another winner! Topping the Body Parts chart is...
George with "Penis In Furs"
Previous votes have been pretty close but this time we had a runaway winner. Congratulations go to George for correctly calculating that the more depraved members (no pun intended) of the voting panel would be unable to resist a knob gag. But I am frankly disappointed in the rest of you. So much so that I may have to rethink my plans to follow this up with a related round on bodily fluids and emissions.
Incidentally, in George's adopted homeland of Portugal the song's title would be "Pénis em Peles", which makes it sound quite lyrical.
While on the subject of other languages, a shout out to our good friend Walter in Germany. I am impressed by his ability to come up with decent puns in his second language. It is not something I would even attempt to do.
Walter's AC/DC pun was just a few points short of a Top 5 position this time out. But who did make it? These folks, that's who:
1.
Penis In Furs –
The Velvet Underground (George)
2.
Livers Of Babylon
- Boney M (C)
3.
Wood Beez (Pray
Like Urethra Franklin) – Scritti Politti (Alyson)
4. Just The Humerus - Grover Washington Jr (Ernie)
5. God Save The Spleen - Sex Pistols (John M)
Thanks to all of you who submitted a pun and/or voted, your enthusiasm is much appreciated. The current plan is to announce the theme for Pun Fun 5 on Monday 6 April. Until then, we will hand it over to Os Veludo Subterrâneo to see us out with the song that smashed the charts.
Well done George!
ReplyDeleteWell done George.
ReplyDeleteIt was, erm, irresistible...!
And, of course, thank you Ernie for running this and inspiring us.
DeleteThank you for your warm words Ernie
ReplyDeleteGreat work George- genuinely impressed
ReplyDeleteGood work George! It was a particularly strong (and amusing) selection this month.
ReplyDeleteI'm sure when I consulted the Oracle, I was advised to go with my less smutty suggestion. I feel like I've been led astray.
ReplyDeleteI wholeheartedly refute this accusation.
DeleteI have checked the correspondence and what I said was: " Personally I like the [insert name of song with 'groins' in the title] and Beach Boys ones but I never correctly guess what's going to win so I wouldn't put too much store by that". To which you replied "Let's keep it clean and go with God's Only Nose then".
And let's not get into the question of whether contestants should be asking me to help them choose their entries in the first place. Its a moral maze.
Thanks for hosting this bit of fun Ernie. The girls didn’t go down the smutty route and still did ok!
ReplyDeleteWhat with Rol’s Snapshots and your puns, this has been quite a few days in our corner of the blogosphere.
Thank you for standing up for common decency.
DeleteI come for the puns (steady on- ed.). But I stay for the ontological debates that take place in the comments. A moral maze indeed.
ReplyDeleteI feel bound to report that having participated in four rounds to date, I have failed to place in four. Can relegation to the Ryman league be far behind?
