Music memes and jokes

It's the Grammy Awards this weekend, a night when carefully chosen establishment puppets gather together to pat themselves on the back and push whatever message their masters tell them to, so in honour of those who sold out their integrity for 'success', this week's blog post has a musical theme to it.

1) Here's an Etch-A-Sketch image of Elvis Presley performing some of his most famous songs.

For the benefit of any younger readers, Etch-A-Sketch was an old-fashioned drawing toy, and if you wanted to delete your drawing, you had to shake the Etch-A-Sketch.

And for the benefit of any really young readers, Elvis Presley was a singer from the olden days.





2) I’m playing Scrabble with Midge Ure.

I've got 4 letters left, but they mean nothing to me.

O V N R.





3) It really annoys me when I'm singing along to a song, and the artist gets the words wrong!





4) It was Bono's birthday yesterday, so I popped round his house to give him a birthday card.

Bono's street. A street with no name.

Editor: "Wow! I didn't know you were friends with Bono! Did he enjoy his birthday?"
Charles: "Yes, it was a beautiful day."





5) I've just bought an excellent toilet on eBay that used to belong to Abba.

What a loo!





6) For someone who claims he didn't start a fire, Billy Joel was suspiciously defensive about it.





7) Would anyone like a free guitar?

No strings attached.





8) I'm starting to regret buying an apartment above Lionel Richie.





9) Beethoven was an inspiration to us all.

Everyone told him he'd never be a musucian because he was deaf.

But did he listen?





10) Finally, it looks like Guns N' Roses have really mellowed with age...
