Do they call you mellow yellow? Really?
Damn, forgot about them!
"I hear that the Emperor of China used to wear iron shoes with ease" Where did you hear that, Robin?
"Even Damnation is poisoned with rainbows" Difficult to prove, Leonard.
Couple of fairly obscure ones, there. Some of you oldies may remember them.
I bet the street has now been adopted over so many years, and so Bono cannot walk there anymore.
Three pages in and we've all missed the biggest question.
Does Batman, in fact, smell?
Are African bluebirds migratory?
I think that's the african swallow, mainly to transport coconuts.
The bluebird is a north american bird. There are other birds that have some blue colouring but they are not Bluebirds - they may be blue birds
“Sugar in your coffee doesn’t taste quite right,
Feeling the effects for a hundred thousand nights”
273 years Mr Mould. I don’t think the effects will really last that long.
Diamonds do not shine.
They reflect and they refract...
...but they do NOT effing shine!
Deserts don’t miss the rain, if they did they wouldn’t be deserts!
(Ha, beaten to it I’ve just seen!)
The average age of combat soldiers in the Vietnam war was closer to twenty t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t twenty three than n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n nineteen (linky).
3 am is not, in fact, eternal. 60 seconds later, it's 3:01.
Are dirty pigeons capable of feeling love?
And I'm pretty sure 8bn people aren't holding hands.
I've just checked, and much to my neighbours consternation the only way to feel the noise most definitely is when it's good and loud
Fog on the Tyne is all mine all mine
- is it technically feasible to own weather? I suppose you could bottle a bit of Tyne fog, but claiming all of it sounds as greedy as it is improbable.
Does Batman, in fact, smell?
Of guano...
As far as I can tell, Queen never won any competitions.
There was that day at the races...
Whilst yes, I could technically walk 500miles, I would most likely take the car or perhaps the train instead as it would be quicker.
Given Sir Brian Mays interests in astrophysics, Queens assertions of the methods of planetary rotation seem even more questionable.
Whilst it is possible to fly to the moon, playing amongst the stars will require a much longer trip.
Maybe they were slowly walking down the hall, but faster than cannon and ball.
Could have been staying in the same hotel and didn't want to seem to eager to get to the breakfast buffet, but wanted to get there faster as cannon and ball were notorious for nicking all the sausages!!
It's more likely than the binmen going on a six day bender.

I'm not aware of any peer reviewed challenge to his theorem after all these years, ergo, it remains my working hypothesis.
I think Perry Como might have ended up in the burns unit if he was telling the truth.
I'd like to know whether Dexy's Midnight Runners song about Eileen was a description or an instruction.
a friend with weed is better
Quite possibly true
Jesus was Batman
Very unlikely as appropriately 1900 years or more between reported sightings.

Mr. Routes I fear that you too need to find a new supplier.
I was born in a barrel of butcher knives
Shot in the ass with two colt .45's
I've been slapped by a bear and bit by an eel
I chew up railroad iron, and shit out steel!
I jumped in the ocean and swallowed a whale
Handcuff lightning and throw thunder's ass in jail
Highly implausible. I suspect hyperbole.
And Lisa Stansfield almost certainly didn’t go around the world looking for her baby.
From The Equestrian Statue by the Bonzos:
"Once a month, on a Friday, there's a man
With a mop and bucket in his hand
To him it's just another working day
As he whistles while he rubs and scrubs away"
That's no longer the case in these times of council budget cuts 🙂
Did your wife really hoover your head last night? We need photos.
I think Perry Como might have ended up in the burns unit if he was telling the truth.
Also, Kings of Leon.

Objection! They admit that they're wrong in the next line.
And did those feet,
In ancient times
Walk upon England's mountains green?
No. Next?
"Wherever I hang my hat, that's my home"
I think you'll find that the conveyancing process is a little more complex than that.
Mr Osbourne has not to my knowledge lined up for a full distance triathlon nor is he solely composed of ferrous metal.

And Johnny Cash

There are a number sources which claim that he may have travelled. There a number of “missing years” in the accounts of his life, notably between his early teens and mid to late twenties.
Google Jesus lost years.
Some say India, others claim evidence he may have been to England. I’m sure it’s food for thought. 😀
Bryan Adams would have been 10 in the summer of '69.
Me and some guys from school
Had a band and we tried real hard
Jimmy quit and Jody got married
I should've known we'd never get far
I'm not sure what the age of consent is in Canada, but I'm reasonably sure it's higher than 10.
AND!
Adams bought his first electric guitar at the age of 12 in Reading, an Italian brand from Gherson, based on a Fender stratocaster.[27] In an interview with music magazine Guitar World, Adams said:
"I bought an imitation Les Paul at a Five and Dime store in Ottawa, Canada, in 1971," Adams recalled. "Before that, I had an imitation Strat which I bought in Reading, England in 1970"
LIES!!!!!

Au contraire - Diamond's a source of very bright x-rays, infrared and ultraviolet light
