Polythene Pam

[OldJourno]

For those who had no clue what John Lennon was singing.

[Verse 1]
Well you should see Polythene Pam
She's so good-looking but she looks like a man
Well you should see her in drag
Dressed in her polythene bag
Yes you should see Polythene Pam
Yeah, yeah, yeah

[Verse 2]
Get a dose of her in jackboots and kilt
She's killer-diller when she's dressed to the hilt
She's the kind of a girl
That makes "The News of the World"
Yes you could say she was attractively built
Yeah, yeah, yeah
G'day!

Goo-goo g'joob.

She came in through the bathroom window.

Probably a good thing I didn't understand the lyrics when I first got the album. I'm pretty sure I would have had no clue what "drag" meant. And if I'd asked, I'm pretty sure my parents didn't have a clue either.

Was "she looks like a man" outside of your vocabulary too?

His mother's name was Pam so he naturally assumed it was about her.

When I get to the bottom I go back to the top of the slide, where I stop and turn and I go for a ride, till I get to the bottom and I see you again!

We Are Not Amused

Personally, I've always been amused by "Her Majesty," the Paul McCartney ditty that appears at the end of Abbey Road:

Her Majesty's a pretty nice girl
But she doesn't have a lot to say
Her Majesty's a pretty nice girl
But she changes from day to day

I want to tell her that I love her a lot
But I gotta get a bellyful of wine
Her Majesty's a pretty nice girl
Someday I'm going to make her mine, oh yeah
Someday I'm going to make her mine​

I love that final line: "Someday I'm going to make her mine"! Such cheeky familiarity!

Sir Paul did play this in front of Elizabeth in 2002.

She did not appear amused.

Just against Squanto.

Just against Squanto.

Hey, didn't he invent Thanksgiving?

 

[OldJourno]

Hey, didn't he invent Thanksgiving?

My bad. Squanto invented Labor Day.

the newspapers said
she's gone to his head
they look just like
two gurus in drag................

 

[Hypoxia]

When I hold you in my arms
And I feel my finger on your trigger
I know, no-one can do us no harm
Because:
