hey, think i'm the only person daft enough to have used/created the subcategory of "hooligan house" (apart from phil sherburne and reynolds... who were quoting me, so lay the blame squarely at this doorstep!)... was a very tongue-in-cheek idea, that's all i can say in my defence... have never said "bangin'" or "havin' it" or "large" though, at least that should go in my favour!

I thought it was a UK thing to describe a singer by awkwardly shoehorning in a song title – but the 2nd paragraph of this LA Times piece about Jessie J begins: “The 32-year-old “Bang Bang” siren explained on Instagram...” (which is a perfect example of the phenomenon I’m talking about).

"The 'You Belong With Me' songstress sported a panda bear sweater and an adorable side braid as she made her way through a crowd of fans and paparazzi"

The "Fuck You" singer and former Voice judge deleted his Twitter account. The 'Fuck You' singer was forced to defend himself after provoking a storm when he responded on Twitter to a review from a music journalist.In case you missed it, the 'Fuck You' singer spoke to Far Out magazine, where he criticised the two chart-toppers as well as Nicki Minaj. The ‘Fuck you’ singer chose an absolutely bewildering outfit to attend the music award ceremony, which involved covering himself head-to-toe in gold.

I've never done that, but come to think of it putting in the age can be a titbit for the gleefuls and hitching song title to flesh tag can be helpful when there is such a right haggis of titles and names all in the streamin' an' 'at.
― dow, Tuesday, 29 December 2020 17:28 (three years ago) link
This is a separate issue, but I’ve never understood why reporters print people’s ages as relentlessly as they do. Sometimes the context is meaningful to the article, but often it’s not. I’m not mad at it, I just don’t get the rationale.
― Qui-Gon's Noble End (morrisp), Tuesday, 29 December 2020 17:35 (three years ago) link
sometimes it's like an attempted burn (too old for this crap/too young to take seriously) or a compliment (still going strong/wise beyond years) if it's not some kind of journalism style guide thing

Ok, I cry uncle on this thing...
Levy’s company and wife asked for “their rightful share” of the sale with Universal Music Group on Dec. 14 or 15 but the “Blowin’ in the Wind” singer and his companies have refused to fork over the money, the court documents claim.And this is in addition to a pattern of “The Times They Are a-Changin’” musician not giving Levy songwriting credit throughout the years — including in the 2019 film “Rolling Thunder Revue: A Bob Dylan Story by Martin Scorsese”, the court papers allege.

"Hitmaker" is favoured by UK tabloids
Cliff Richard looked delighted as he announced his newest album, Music... The Air That I Breathe, which will be released next month in honour of his 80th birthday. The Lord's Prayer hitmaker, 79, turns 80 on October 14, with the new album due to be released two weeks later on October 30.
― mahb, Thursday, 21 January 2021 12:26 (three years ago) link
Always an issue to know which song to reference with that one, although "The Lord's Prayer hitmaker" caused me to smile in a manner best described as 'wry'. As did the redundant mention of his age next to the bit about how old he'll be on his next birthday.
