Chummy tunes...
Friendship is tonight's theme. Now that could be straightforward songs about close pals and the value of friendship. It could be songs that remind you of good friends, or in Michael Jackson鈥檚 case, a song about forming a close relationship with a rat! Mind you, we鈥檝e all come across people we thought were friends but turned out to have rat like tendencies. We鈥檝e got a couple of those kind of tunes on tonight as well.
My suggestion was going to be Me and Paul, Willie Nelson鈥檚 鈥榣ife on the road鈥 epic about him and his drummer Paul. Co-incidentally 鈥榤y Paul鈥 is also a drummer. Which reminds me of a great old joke I saw reprinted in the paper this morning :
鈥 Mummy, mummy 鈥 when I鈥檓 a grown up I鈥檓 going to be a drummer鈥︹
鈥 Don鈥檛 be silly darling, you can鈥檛 be both鈥︹
Paul, incidentally, is very proud of the fact he has 139 Facebook friends ( which are not like real friends obviously!) but he鈥檚 not nearly as popular as Tom Morton who has 146.
I am not sure if anyone has written a song about these online relationships. I鈥檓 fairly certain that being poked, writing on your fun wall and being chomped by a zombie would not inspire Carole King to rewrite her famous anthem..
