    With a sponge and a rusty spanner
    She said : "Eh, I know you, and you cannot sing"
    I said : "That's nothing - you should hear me play piano"

    Of course you did.
    I call my bathroom Jim instead of John so I can tell people that I go to the Jim first thing every morning.

    If you say the word 'gullible' very slowly it sounds just like oranges.

    "China Grove" is a song from The Doobie Brothers' 1973 album The Captain and Me. It was written by original lead singer Tom Johnston, before he fell ill in 1975 and was replaced by Michael McDonald. The song is based on a real town in Texas with the same name. The connection is obvious given its real-life proximity to San Antonio, which is referenced in the lyrics. However, the rest of the song is largely a fictional account portraying China Grove as Texas' version of Chinatown. Notable is the mention of samurai, who in fact are Japanese, not Chinese.

    Here I thought some one was going to take me to task with Bron-Yr-Aur which is actually a cottage (and I think a village) in England.

    Sorry, I couldn't resist. LOL

    Thanks everybody

    It seem every city or state have dozen songs written about them. But some are more memorable than the others

    No, but we will take you to task of why listing "California Dreamin'" by Beach Boys instead of The Mamas & the Papas
