I mentioned a couple of weeks ago that some naughty people had nicknamed our aloof, grand (and not-very-good) Vice-Chancellor Kim Jong-*****. I meant to post the lyrics to Team America's 'So Ronery', which really do evoke the loneliness of command far removed from reality in an institution wounded by incompetence:
I'm So Ronery
So ronery
So ronery and sadry arone
There's no one
Just me onry
Sitting on my rittle throne
I work rearry hard and make up great prans
But nobody ristens, no one understands
Seems like no one takes me serirousry
And so I'm ronery
A rittle ronery
Poor rittle me
There's nobody
I can rerate to
Feel rike a bird in a cage
It's kinda sihry
But not rearry
Because it's fihring my body with rage
I'm the smartest most crever most physicarry fit
But nobody else seems to rearize it
When I change the world maybe they'll notice me
But until then I'rr just be ronery
Rittle ronery, poor rittle me
I'm so ronery
Dear Mr. Vole,
ReplyDeleteI came across some professed musical favourites of your VC Kim Jong. Can you make some discrete local enquiries as to the background for these choices ?
- "The Conquering Hero Comes,which was played at our wedding."
Legend has it that this is a reference to the allegation that she dragged her victim up the aisle by his hair. Can you confirm ?
- "Lucy in the Sky With Diamonds, as it reminds me of growing up."
A quick desk check for class A substances should suffice.
- "a song that reminds me of a special holiday, That’s my Number by Toots & The Maytals"
Any association with an alleged gigolo and an alleged hotel room in the Latin quarter of Walsall ?
All true, except for the suggestions that Walsall has a Latin quarter. The Classics are dead.
ReplyDeleteOld Walsall saying:
ReplyDelete"Per aspera ad astra" - 'ard work can get yow a Vauxhall
Latin's still gooin' strong 'ere, Voley
Glad to hear it. Unfortunately, 'per aspera' means 'through adversity'. 'Per ardua' means 'ard work'!
