Dad, Mum, Hollywood & I travel in the car together everyday
It’s a pretty comfortable set up
Mum & I in the back
Dad & Holly in the front
Pretty comfy until today that is
Today the fossils elders in the vehicle decided on a tortuous new way to pass the time
Apparently they used to play this game back before I started touring with them
And now, thanks to their Alzheimer’s not being too bad today Dad, we’re bringing back ‘GUESS THAT SINGER’
Here’s how it works;
When we stop for petrol or food Dad stocks up on old time compilation cds that NO ONE ever buys
Since he’s already seen the songs that are on each CD – he gets to be the wanker in charge ‘quizmaster’
Now I know what you’re thinking
This could be fun right?
Of course it could be
If every song played wasn’t from a time when dinosaurs roamed the earth 30 years before I was born
The 3 of them derived great joy from my pain at having to listen to this crap music for hours
Today’s set list included
Pat Boone
Marty Robbins
Rosemary Clooney
Teresa Brewer
And The Kingston Trio whoever the fuck they are
Did you know what all these people have in common?
They suck their music is REALLY old!
And I’m pretty sure most of them are dead
We take turns in buying breakfast every day
So the deal for today’s ‘game’ was that whoever guessed the most correct answers, didn’t have to pay for breakfast when it was their turn next
You’d earn a ‘brekky free pass’
About 10 minutes into the game I surrendered said that I would totally pay for breakfast for the rest of the fucking year if I could just put my foot through the cd player please get out of the car
They just ignored me and turned the volume up
I am sooo asking for a private plane my own minivan for the next tour
I think Teresa Brewer was the prototype for WIFE OF CHUCKIE!
