    Ah, good old Sting! 'Pretentious' more than clever.... He has rhymed 'seam' with 'carbon fourteen' and 'alabaster' with 'master' at various points in his career....

    I always found The Police - Don't stand so close to me to have a particularly bad verse:

    "He starts to shake and cough / Just like the old man in / That book by Nabokov."

    I think it's just a little too clever for its own good.
    it has been a long time since I read Lolita but I don't remember coughing as a big thing on it. I'd have been more impressed if Sting had come up with a rhyme for Humbert Humbert.

    I’ll handle this Violet, you take your three hour break.

    Ladies and gentleman of the jury, I'd like to submit Mr David Coverdales version of ZZ Top's Tush.



    I believe that guitarist Adrian Vandenberg had to receive intensive medical treatment shortly after this tour: He was dieing of shame.

    Is that genuine?

    It's possibly the worst piece of live music I've ever seen.

    I tried to find something to say about that Whitesnake thing. 

    I can't. Not even bad things express the bile I feel rising.

    Not really cringeworthy as such as it's supposed to be tongue-in-cheek but Little Does She Know by The Kursaal Flyers does have some some rhymes to make you groan...

    I was outside the one stop
    When I saw her in the coin-opAnd I didn't like what I see. Little does she know that I know that she knows that I know she's two timing me.
     
    She was sharing her spin dryWith a guy in a tie-dyeWhen she saw my reflection in the chrome. I knew that she'd seen me'cos she dropped her bikiniThe one that I got her in Rome.
     
    When she finished her laundryShe was all in a quandaryAnd made for the street like a hare.Her escape was so urgentShe forgot her detergentAnd dropped all her clean underwear

    Righto, just off to write a lyric now where I hope to rhyme romance with underpants!
    I play guitar because I enjoy it rather than because I’m any good at it

    See- I think that Kursaal Flyers one is mostly good.

    "Righto, just off to write a lyric now where I hope to rhyme romance with underpants!"

    Shouldn't be too hard. Oh! There's a line for you as well!

    Very much so.

    The "best' bit for me is where , about 1:55, he say just wants some Buffalo Tits.  Are these like buffalo wings, or the tits of an actual buffalo, which I believe is a protected species?!
