Oh No You Didn’t!

 

The other night I realised that I hadn't seen the whole of The Muppets Bohemian Rhapsody video so pulled it up on You Tube to let Jessica watch it with me. She really didn't like it, didn't understand it at all. It took me a few seconds to realise that she had no idea about Queen's original video, so by the miracle of t'internet we watched that next. And then we went on to watch 'I Want To Break Free' and a couple of other ones. We watched quite a few actually, singing along to the ones we knew. 

Jessica became extremely confused though. Where was the GIRL singer? Didn't Queen HAVE a girl singer? Why had they picked the name QUEEN if it had a boy lead singer?? I ducked out of that one I'm afraid, I'll add that to the list of ones I will explain to her 'later.' Along with the news that Freddie is dead. Freddie DIES???

Anyway, that kinda leads me on to my next point, if you will excuse a sideways step. You may need to know a little about Iris Robinson here and here before you go any further.

I heard the infamous radio program in which she said:

"I have a very lovely psychiatrist who works with me in my offices and his Christian background is that he tries to help homosexuals trying to turn away from what they are engaged in." 

At the time I had an image of her "very lovely psychiatrist" banging his head off his desk as she pointed towards the Bible for words like "abomination" and "sin." 

This afternoon I saw this Facebook group. It has been set-up to:

". . . get the iconic song Mrs Robinson - made famous by the 1960's hit The Graduate - to number 1 in next Sunday's chart in honour of Northern Ireland's disgraced first lady, Iris Robinson. The naughty little minx. . ."

 

Mrs Robinson

 

I know it isn't very likely that the song will make it to number one - not without a major thrust with-in the rest of the UK. But I have bought my copy. Just in case one more makes a difference. It is only 79p after all. And it IS sooooo apt. Isn't it?

EDIT:

Just found this :D

Mrs Robinson song enjoys revival


Tuesday, 12 January 2010

Simon and Garfunkel classic Mrs Robinson is enjoying a popularity revival due to an internet campaign to push the song to number one - "in honour of Northern Ireland's disgraced First Lady".

A campaign group mobilised on Facebook to propel the song from Dustin Hoffman movie The Graduate to the top spot has almost 13,000 members.

The film tells the story of a college graduate who embarks on an affair with an older woman.

A political crisis has erupted over Iris Robinson's private life and financial affairs after it was disclosed she had an affair with a toyboy lover young enough to be her grandson. First Minister Peter Robinson has temporarily stepped down.

The track climbed to number 23 in Amazon.co.uk's "bestsellers in MP3 songs".

The power of internet campaigns was shown at Christmas when Rage Against The Machine were sent to number one - at the expense of X Factor winner Joe McElderry.
