Topical humour at its best. YANBU OP but surely there must be a slightly more up to date alternative? Surely?

It's not like I've been singing this for years Commander, I just found myself reading about Mussolini this week and then somehow could not help myself

Ben-i-to Muss-o-lini

And I've been singing the Mussolini version for years. And various pasta dishes.

Sal-vo Mont-albano

Well, that's a penance of ten decades with Fatima's prayers !!

SantanaLopez · 28/11/2013 21:58

Maaaaasssive crush on Montalbano, must say.

It always seemed so romantic to go to a convent school and be chided by nuns, like Hayley Mills and Mary Clancy.

Not if they're rawboned Kerrywomen with anger management problems.

Normalisavariantofcrazy · 28/11/2013 22:31

Ciao Bella fidelis
Light up Mussolini
Benito beniiiito tort a lini
Silvio bunga parties til he dro o ops

I love the Latin version of that carol!

Yellowcake · 28/11/2013 23:29

Jeez, Disgrace, you went to my school! and knew Sr Elizabeth the angry careers nun from Annascaul, who recognised three careers only for girls -Nursing, Teaching, and The Bank.

puntasticusername · 28/11/2013 23:37

And in the other verses, "Oh come, let us adore him, Christ I'm bored".

sicutlilium · 28/11/2013 23:38

Most highly flavoured gravy...

maras2 · 28/11/2013 23:42

When reciting ' The Confiteor ' or ' I confess ',as kids instead of saying 'Mea culpa, mea culpa, mea maxima culpa, we ' hilariously ' naughty brats took to uttering ' me a cowboy,me a cowboy,me a Mexican cowboy and waiting for the wrath of God to descend.A bit worried now after typing that.

Yellowcake: Sr. Cecilia in my case, who recognised two careers for boys, punchbag and burden to women.
