Pun Fun 7: The Results

Ladies and gentlemen, we have a winner:

C with "(Shake, Shake, Shake) Shake Djibouti"

With this victory C joins George in the ranks of two times winners, so extra congratulations are in order. C pipped Alyson by just a few points and the two of them were some way clear of the rest of the pack. The battle for the minor places was much tighter.

Here is the top five in full:

1.  (Shake, Shake, Shake) Shake Djibouti - KC & The Sunshine Band (C)
2.  When Amman Loves A Woman - Percy Sledge (Alyson)
3.  Hurry Up Harare - Sham 69 (Charity Chic)
4.  Mouldy Old Doha - Lieutenant Pigeon (Dave)
5.  Get Out of My Dreams, Get Into Dakar - Billy Ocean (JWA)

It is (perhaps) interesting to note that all of the cities in the top five are in Africa and the Middle East. Maybe the music we play here is having a subliminal influence on you all. 

Thanks to all of you who submitted a pun and/or voted, your enthusiasm is much appreciated. We are going to take a short break for the summer so you can all recharge your punning batteries and ease any word play weariness. Pun Fun 8 will appear some time in September. Until then, as is traditional, we hand over to our winners to see us out.

P.S. This will be the last post here of any sort for a week or so as I am heading off on my travels right after I press 'publish'. That is why the results are being announced a day earlier than usual. Obviously I can't reveal my mystery destination but I can assure you that when I return all pun related posts will appear on a Monday and never on a Sunday.
