Breaking News……
Russian Band, Pussy Riot jailed yesterday for singing a silly song in Moscow’s main Orthodox Cathedral were released yesterday on the express orders of Russian President Vladimir Putin “On The Ritz”.
It came after warbling pop legend Sir Paul “Waxy” McCartney threatened to reprise his woeful performance from the London 2012 Olympic opening ceremony if the nand were not released.
A Kremlin insider said, “Kalinka! Nobody could stand to hear that rubbish again. President Putin On the Ritz is a brave man, he once kissed Joan Rivers, but not even he could withstand such an onslaught. Five Year Tractor Plan. Capitalist Dogs. Enemy Of The People.”
When told of their release Sir Paul said, “Like Great. Can I just move away from the fire I may melt a bit. I’m so happy for the band. Freedom of Speech is vital to our democratic line. Where’s me guitar?”
RUN!
RUN!
SAVE YOURSELVES!
RUN FOR YOUR LIVES!
HE’S GOING TO SING AGAIN!
Poor Sir Paul. It seems it is too late to bow out gracefully.
Agreed
I’m not familiar with the band Pussy Riot. How do they sing or play instruments with their mouths covered and hands in chains? I bet they are not very good. Pussy Riot is a nice marketable name though…and fun to say. Pussy Riot. Pussy Riot. Pussy.
That sounds like an ironic Gregorian chant
Trying saying that in the Mull of Kintyre, where I live, and you’d be lynched. There’s even a statue of Linda McCartney, soulfully cradling a wee lamb, in the garden behind the museum.
Worth a visit then! When singing in Wings, Linda’s voice was held back in the mix – not very good apparently.
Sadly, there was a joke at the time – what do you call a howling dog with wings? …hmmm
Her an Paul must have had a lovely time round the old joanna as Xmas!
Putin looks so much better like that.
Very cuddly
I can’t help thinking that when the BBC report on Pussy Riot they haven’t gotten the meaning of the band name.
I think they are finding it diffiuclt Fred!
This Pussy Riot thing was on the front page of the NY Times this morning. Quite fun to read with my latte. 🙂
Good! It is a strange story Andra.
I’m being facetious when I say ‘fun’. It’s really sort of mystifying.
Google them singing – woeful – not even X factor standard!
Thanks for the warning – looking for Get Smart’s Dome of Silence.
Wise very wise
…whoever thought it was a good idea to have Sir Pee do both Jubilee and Olympic bashes, just weeks apart. These three words of wisdom, ‘Let it stop’!
ps. Where was Cliff?
Just be grateful!
Sad he is a legend. Funny stuff.
Agreed – thanks for following!
Putin should have consulted Oily George. Sir Paul should have consulted Oily George.
He’s here to help!
Completely lost it at Putin on the Ritz!
A terrible pun but one to be proud of!
Another superb post….. Putin on the Ritz! Excellent
