Ladies and gentlemen, we have another winner! Topping the 'Down On The Farm' chart is...
The Swede with "Manure In Love With A Beautiful Woman".
It was a very close run thing with just a couple of points between the top three. Here is the Top 5 in full:
1.
Manure in Love
With a Beautiful Woman - Dr Hook (The Swede)
2.
Grow Your Own
Whey - Fleetwood Mac (Dave)
3.
There's A Goat In
My House - R Dean Taylor (George)
4.
You Can't Slurry
Love - The Supremes (Steve)
5.
Love Is A
Cattlefield - (Cow) Pat Benatar (Rol)
Many congratulations to The Swede, whose punning power has clearly been improved by the apparent recent removal of his beard. Well done also to Dave (a.k.a. Chuck) and Steve who make their first appearances in the Top 5. And to Rol, Parsley and Anita of course.
You may have noticed that three of the top five puns contain references to excrement. After the prodigious penis voting in Pun Fun 4 I'm starting to worry about what sort of crowd I attract here.
As for my own entry, I still maintain that "like a battery hen I'll be gone when the morning comes" is a great line when sung out loud. Sadly very few of you agreed with me. With hindsight maybe I should have gone for my second choice, "Cropduster" by Sweet. Or something with poo in it.
Thanks to all of you who submitted a pun and/or voted, your enthusiasm is much appreciated. We will be back with Pun Fun 6 at some point in the second half of May. Until then, we will hand over to Dr. Hook to see us out.
While My Deutz-Fahr Gently Reaps was robbed.
ReplyDeleteTractor theft is sadly rife these days
DeleteErnie, I promise this wasn't me venting under the cover of anonymity. My thanks to the commenter if they were being sincere, and my appreciation of the mockery if they were being ironic!
DeletePete - I don't doubt your innocence. Two voters put Deutz-Fahr in first place so I suspect it was one of them being sincere.
DeleteAnonymous O’Mystery here- no mockery from me, I thought it was letter perfect. I feel confident that victory will be yours in the long run.
DeleteWell done, George! Surely the title of your upcoming memoirs.

Apols! Big up to TS too!

Go Swede!
ReplyDeleteExcellent stuff, well done to The Swede (what else could we expect with such an apt name?) I'll never be able to hear this song any other way now.
ReplyDeleteWell done Swede- not only did I forget to enter my pun, I forgot to vote too.
ReplyDeleteWell done TS. Give yourself a (cow)pat on the back.
ReplyDeleteGreat entries, everyone, with an especially fine winner. Well done, Swede!
ReplyDeleteI'm gonna hit the highway like a battery hen, I'm a Cilla Black fan, I am...
ReplyDeleteBut as we all know, you're really not.
DeleteAs Ernie knows I changed my entry at the last minute as it was going to be this:
ReplyDeleteFly Me To The Moon (In Udder Words) - Frank Sinatra
Still don't think it would have made the Top 5 as they were all excellent and the ones I voted for but going to start sticking with my first entry.
If it is any consolation you did better than me. Clearly they are a bunch of Philistines.
