Let’s go the whole hog then - why not have the London Philharmonic Orchestra in situ. That’ll be a lot less wank than a f***ing drum. Also, it might ensure that all the songs are played at the right speed, and in tune. :drink:
Here’s a juicy one - Delaware by Perry Como. Can’t find a link to the song, perhaps someone can oblige?
Anyway the lyrics are a corruption of state names to fit the song, as in ‘What did Dela-ware boys’ and so on. So you have the following included - California, New Jersey, Mississippi...

Can you imagine one of the Amex staff at the kiosks doing that on match day? Top entertainment - would you like your biff with some claret, and maybe your nuts chopped en croute as a side order?
The only Good Morning Britain that I ever see is when I wake up, get out of bed, pull back the curtains, look out of the window and say “F*** off”. So there.
