Was in my local petrol station not long ago and the owner always plays 60's cd's and while in there being served the Beatles LSD wag playing and he was singing along with the chorus, only his version was Lucy in disguise with diamonds.

My kids used to sing 'Carol Smiley is naughty, naughty, naughty, naughty' along to Fatboy Slim's 'California'. Just as good a libretto in my view.
