SquashJet

Phew!

[Clare bursts out of the cupboard under the sink]

Sorry about that, got a bit carried away singing to myself. Really badly. Out of tune. I apologise in advance....

So, anyway. Down below you will find a recording of me singing this little song wot I rote about Squash, to the tune of Jet (aka Suffragette) by Paul McCartney and Wings. I don't really have any excuses that won't make it look worse than it already does, so without further ado...

SQUASH

Squash!
Squash!
Squash!

I can almost remember the way to play this
Like when you told me
That winning was if you got bruised.
And squash...
I thought the only
Place to play
Was on the moon

Squash!
Woo-oo-oo, Oooh oo-oo, Oooh oo-oo
Squash!
Woo-oo-oo, Oooh oo-oo, Oooh oo-oo
Squash!

Well the father says that we can
go and play there
But how come he tells me that
we are not old enough yet?
And squash...
I thought the players
Had to make you
Suffer in squash!

Squash!
Woo-oo-oo, Oooh oo-oo, Oooh oo-oo
Squash!
Woo-oo-oo, Oooh oo-oo, Oooh oo-oo

I'll play ya,
Want squash to always bruise me
I'll play ya,
Want squash to always bruise me
I'll play ya,
Much later...

Squash!

With the noise in your ears
of a thousand squash balls
The ball from your racquet
Should go for a ride in the sky.

And squash...
I thought the players
Had to make you
Suffer in squash!

Squash!
Woo-oo-oo, Oooh oo-oo, Oooh oo-oo
Squash!
Woo-oo-oo, Oooh oo-oo, Oooh oo-oo

And squash...
d'ya know I thought you
Were gonna make me
Suffer in squash!
Squash!
Woo-oo-oo, Oooh oo-oo, Oooh oo-oo

Were gonna make me
Were gonna make me scream, yeah

Ooh!

Clare singing SquashJet (really badly)

So, to summarise: Squash is a game, which you win by getting bruised. You can play it on the moon, or at the local vicarage (but only if you're old enough). The balls are very noisy. You have to hit the ball high into the sky. It gives you bruises. And it makes you suffer. But I'll still play it with ya. Later. Much later.

Oh, supergreathugebuggerations.

I've got a Wings earworm now.

Luckily, my lovely, I like you so much that I'm able to forgive you.

Phew. Woo-oo-oo, Oooh oo-oo, Oooh oo-oo

Brava!
I have no idea what the game is (I don't think we have Squash over here, unless you're throwing around the vegetable. I'll look it up on wikipedia) but you make it sound fun.

Your mp3 was a brilliant start to my day. Thanks, Clare.

It's worming around in your ears? Just think what it's doing to mine, after singing it several times in a row and practising the timing of the final "Ooh!" so you can't even hear Mr McCartney's version behind me, not to mention strategic placement of microphones being my only way of controlling sound levels, while the track played over and over in the background...

Suffer in Squash! Woo-oo-oo... argh.

;o) Glad you like it though. Personally I think the bad singing adds to the total effect, and obviously I planned it that way and am secretly the next aretha F in disguise...

Brilliant, just brilliant...

You should send it to Sir Paul, I think he probably needs cheering up.

That is disturbingly catchy. Great. I'll be singing that all day now!!!

HAHAHAHAHAHAH
That is the funniest thing I've heard in quite a while! And possibly the longest. But funny. Funny.

Jesus Christ in a pose. Well done young lady.

*Hugs*

*Hugs* back to SG. Definitely not enough hugging going on in this house.

*GROUP HUG*

Thank you for doing that.

*doesn't do hugging*

but fuck me - that was just too funny.

clare, you're a star x

brilliant, well worth the immunisation.
LOVED the singing. about to enter a concert competition with something very similar here in brusels, wish we could use you for vocals, what fun.

Clare. Brilliant, brave, and pure genius.
Bloody well done.

(Got everyone here saying... "What the hell are you listening to")

I am quite simply not worthy.

Amoxicillin amoxil drug kills or stops the growth of bacteria that cause infection. It treats many different kinds of infections of the skin, respiratory tract, sinuses, ear, and kidney. Amoxicillin also treats some sexually transmitted disease. Order generic amoxil amoxicillin online

Clindamycin generic cleocin, an antibiotic, is used to treat infections of the respiratory tract, skin, pelvis, vagina, and abdomen. Antibiotics will not work for colds, flu, or other viral infections. This medication is sometimes prescribed for other uses; ask your doctor or pharmacist for more information.

Retin-A skin care drug is often used to improve the appearance and texture of the skin. It produces a mild, superficial peel of the epidermis. Retin-A has effects on the both the superficial (epidermis) and the deep (dermis) parts of the skin. The major benefit is to decrease the effects of sunlight caused aging by increasing the speed with which the surface cells are replaced. Order generic Retin-a online

Tretinoin skin care drug preparations are a family of drugs all similar to Vitamin A. In general, tretinoin gels are stronger than tretinoin creams because the medicine penetrates better when in a gel form. Tretinoin is used to treat acne and aged, sun damaged skin. Tretinoin works best when used in combination with alpha hydroxyacid preparations. If used over a period of years, tretinoin will continue to reverse aging of the skin and can continue improving the skin's appearance even ten years after starting treatment. Order tretinoin gel or cream online

Penlac skin care drug (ciclopirox) topical solution is used along with regular nail trimming to treat fungal infections of the fingernails and toenails (an infection that may cause nail discoloration, splitting and pain). Ciclopirox is in a class of medications called antifungals. It works by stopping the growth of nail fungus. Order generic penlac online

    If you love Big Blogger in an almost entirely non-physical way then be a good sort and whack one of these attractive Big Blogger-themed thingies into your sidebar.

    Our Links

    Huge thanks go to Lucy Pepper for her wonderful illustrations.

    Plus, even though he's not blogging anymore, let's remember Watski for coming up with this godawful idea in the first place.

    AND, if you've got 300 years spare time on your hands you could use it to re-read the whole of the original 2005 Big Blogger event. Go on, I dare you.

    The only other place we should really link to is the official BIG BROTHER website. After all, they're the ones who bought the rights to the concept in the first place; we're just adjusting it for our own purposes. I'm sure they'll understand.

    So if you want intellectual stimulation and laughs-a-plenty, stay right where you are. However, if you want boredom, drudgery and maybe some tits and arse, go there instead.

    I know where I'm going. Okay, see you later...

    Legal Mumbo-Jumbo

    The idea may not be original but everything else on here is of our own making and 100% original. So don't go borrowing unless A) you link back to us, or B) you ask us really really nicely beforehand.
