Dentro las piñones y las olas riquenas

[venta]

On the way in to work this morning I experimented with having Radio 1 on in the car. Too much talking, not enough music. Though it did make me laugh at one point.

However, at one point they deigned to play a song, and it was Basement Jaxx's new single Oh My Gosh. This seems to be the continuation of a disturbing trend started by Mike-The-Streets Skinner last year in Fit But You Know It. "I think you are really fit, You're fit but my gosh don't you know it".

Has anyone under the age of about 72 ever said "my gosh" in the last ten years ? Really ? Is it about to take off as the favoured expression of surprise among all the cool kids ? Has it already (I wouldn't know).

It also makes me wonder what, in not listening carefully to lyrics, I might have missed.

And what's next ? My Goodness Me! by Velvet Revolver ? Crumbs by the Chemical Brothers ? It's a slippery slope, I tell you.

It's worth noting that the live version may have different lyrics, in the finest tradition of REM's "Star me kitten".

I listen to Radio 1 most mornings (in part because it's the only station with good reception for my entire trip) and I've decided that what I need is a radio with a button which mutes Chris Moyles whilst letting me continue to listen to Comedy Dave.

Ah. I haven't quite got their voices sorted out enough yet to be sure which one's talking at any given time.

If it was Dave who kept interjecting things like "text the word CAULIFLOWER to..." this morning, then I approve :)

I'm terrible at voices.

It took me over six months to spot that Wake Up to Wogan had three weather/news people on rotation. Partly because every male voice except Terry's sounded identical to me, but mostly because I'm not very bright first thing in the morning...
