Comma, comma, down, doobey-doo, down, down.

Commas are Fux0rs. It's all about the semi-colons.

(although the latter were put to grievous misuse in theaudiences' "If You Can't Do It When You're Young; When Can You Do It?"

The only song I can find with semi-colons is Helen Love's "Love; Kiss; Run; Sing; Shout; Jump!", but it does at least have five of them.

So, Smiths pun done, Culture Club pun done.... err... "Comma Eileen"?

Ah, sod it. "Television, Drug of the Nation", quite obviously. That songs like being shouted at by a tramp, only, you know, good.

Tramps are more interesting than Hiphoprisy.
