Do you think that man really got called ‘space cowboy’ and ‘the gangster of love’?

[Jellychat]

… because I don’t. I think he made it up.

I was sitting on a beach in a deckchair today thinking of that song from the Levi’s advert, and wondering why people didn’t just laugh it him for telling lies.

She thinks she is sleeping with him - but she's cwtched up to his back... roll him over and he's a simulant droid and he's very anti-human with red laser eyes....

See also... Europe - The Final Countdown... "We're heading for Venus..."

Erm, lads, it won't be a case of "maybe we'll come back to Earth, who can tell?"

I can tell you chum... the surface of Venus has incredibly high temperatures and a crushing and toxic atmosphere. But you know, you do you, I guess?!

I LOVE this!!!!

I wonder if it really wasn’t him that was caught butt-naked banging on the bathroom floor.

Do you mean The Pompatus of Love?

I agree. Whitney was being very naive. You can’t trust anyone in Workd War 3.

I don’t care if he’s called Maurice, or if people talk about him, he can shake my tree!

Is he still alive? Has his own teeth?

I used to have a neighbour called Maurice so if he said it, it would be perfectly true. And I expect Lou Reed was doing one of those zookeeper experience days.

What kind of idiot leaves a cake out in the rain?

Or eats cake by the ocean.
The two things do not go together. Imagine the grit in the icing!!

Ive discovered that Pompatus is a Nonce Word. Do lyricists think we're not paying attention?

Seriously, sometimes I feel like throwing my hands up in air.

"What kind of idiot leaves a cake out in the rain?"

Perhaps they were throwing a WH Auden commemoration event and wanted a personalised confection.

@TooBigForMyBoots well I know I can count on you

That is not at all what I thought it would be!

Midnight toner too.

Bet that horse actually had a name….

Was the light fandango really skipped? Did they really do some cartwheels on the floor?
No wonder they felt seasick.

But would the crowd really cry out for more?

Always thought it was puppeteers of love. Like Punch n Judy no?

Scaramooch scaramooch can you do it though?

I had a fabulous hair stylist once called Maurice. He was great!

Au contraire, pompatus appeared in a 1869 latin dictionary.

Er, it’s “Midnight toker” as in smoking marijuana….

If this sex is on fire then that’s really dangerous and might not end well

”Scaramouche, Scaramouche, will you do the Fandango?"

Possibly, in later iterations. Scaramouche (the character from the commedia dell’arte) dates back to the 1500s but the first description of the fandango is from a letter dated written in 1712.

We’d have to know which Scaramouche he was addressing.

Anyone who says they would rather go blind / can’t live without their partner is either an emotional blackmailer or in deep need of therapy. And the partner should see the red flags and run.
