A radio DJ talking directly to me.

I was making breakfast yesterday morning and Barry Manilow's Copacabana came on the radio. By the time Lola was thirty years older and Tony long since gone I was giving it the full Carmen Miranda, with a particularly fine funk coming from my Nescafe jar maracas, when Chris Evans said:

"Air-bongos anyone?"


I don't care what you say about him, he has a gift for radio.





All together now:

"Her name was Lola, she was a showgirl
With yellow feathers in her hair
And a dress cut down to there.
She would merengue and do the cha cha cha
And while she tried to be a star,
Tony always tended bar
Across a crowded floor;
They worked from 8 till 4."
