With the rousing success of their recent surprise duet at the Super Bowl,
entertainers Terry Bradshaw and Sir Paul McCartney have announced that they are going
on tour together soon, and will play major stadium and arena dates in selected cities
across America. McCartney, former front man for the band Wings and alleged ex-Beatle,
was quoted as saying that he "very much enjoyed Terry's fresh approach to lyrics. He
plays fast and loose with the words, and I like that."
The response to the pairing of Bradshaw and McCartney for an impromptu version of
"A Hard Day's Night" during the Super Bowl halftime activities was nothing less than
overwhelming. The phone lines at Fox were lit up for virtually the entire second half
of the game with viewers asking where they might be able to purchase a copy of the
song as sung by the two well known personalities. The ragged vocals and fractured
lyrics caused many of those inquiring to ask about "that punk-rock song about the
hard day's dog" the two had sung. Callers were told that, unfortunately, there was no
recorded version available at that time. Spokesmen for both McCartney and Bradshaw
hinted that they may spend some time in the studio together soon to rectify that
situation, however.
"The other thing I like about this arrangement," said McCartney, "is that, ever
since Linda died, I've been looking for someone to sing backup on 'Hey Jude' like she
did. Up until now, I hadn't met anyone who had that kind of vocal range and musical
intuitiveness that she had. But Terry's 'nah nah nah naaah's' have that certain je ne
sais quois that I've been looking for."
Asked for further comment, Bradshaw responded excitedly in a language that was
completely unintelligible, waving his arms and gesticulating wildly. His eyebrows
shot up and down his tall forehead, his eyes bugged completely out and his tongue
seemed to take on a life of its own as it rolled and flopped around in and out of his
mouth. "Blah-dah boogah wah wah wah! Hibbidy dibbidy woogah! Manalanna frack!"
Bradshaw apparently said.
the commune news already knows that the answer to the question "What lives on a farm and has three legs?" is "Paul McCartney and his fiancee," so don't even bother asking. Stigmata Spent thinks that jokes about cripples are lame.
