Subject: A funny lyrics quiz
...that is to say, a quiz about funny lyrics, rather than a quiz about lyrics which is inherently funny in itself.
You can probably get the answers to all of these from google - but see if there's any you can spot without the search engine.
1 Who sang:
"Oh my wife is one in a million, often have I heard that said
But you are not one in a million, you look like you're one in a raffle instead"
2 Who gave:
".. a goodbye sniff of benzedrine
To the convent budgerigar
A bloody funny nun you are"
3 Of whom was it said:
"I couldn't believe the size of her bum
She used to play for Wigan at the back of the scrum"
4 Whose girl for breakfast:
"makes coffee that tastes like shampoo"
5 Who wanted to be:
"Halfway up Virginia"
6 Who didn't want to be:
"drowned, nutted, deaded, hitteded, splatted pledded!"
7 Who was told, and by whom:
"It's worse than that, he's dead"
8 Whose:
"..daughter wants a new phonograph
She's worn out all the needles
Besides she broke the old one in half
I hate the Beatles"
9 Who has:
"A tongue that's 10" long"
10 Who:
"Looks like a muppet, but he's wrinkled and green"

I'll do the easy ones:
6. Bluebottle from The Goon Show (but I don't know the song)
7. Jim (Captain Kirk) was told by Dr McCoy in Star Trekkin' by The Firm
10. Yoda (by Weird Al Yankovic)
Subject: Re: A funny lyrics quiz
3. Sweaty Betty - in the song of the same name by the Macc lads
Subject: Re: A funny lyrics quiz
This is just a guess... But the only person i can think of that has a tongue that long is... Gene Simmons from KISS

A tricky one, Philbo. Wasn't that part of Kevin 'Bloody' Wilson's repertoire:
"I've got a tongue that's 10 inches long
And I've learned to breathe through my ears"?

Yes, from the song '10" Long' - though there are *lots* of KBW songs I could have chosen ;-)

If this is correct, then Bob Kevoin and the Mad Armenians must have ripped it off and sang it as their own. :o

You sure they didn't just to a cover version? Though the lines:
"I don't own a mansion, just an old caravan
That's been round Australia four times"
is more of an Aussie sort of tune than an Armenian one. But then again, it's an old joke so maybe two people have written a song about the joke...

When did they do it? Wilson's version is at least 15 years old.
