But that's a bit ridiculous.



How about Bob by Weird Al Yakovich (from Poodle Hat) http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/thumb/0/0b/Weirdalpoodlehat.jpeg/200px-Weirdalpoodlehat.jpeg an entirely palendromic song:



I, man, am regal - a German am I

Never odd or even

If I had a hi-fi

Madam, I'm Adam

Too hot to hoot

No lemons, no melon

Too bad I hid a boot

Lisa Bonet ate no basil

Warsaw was raw

Was it a car or a cat I saw?


Rise to vote, sir

Do geese see god?

"Do nine men interpret?" "Nine men," I nod

Rats live on no evil star

Won't lovers revolt now?

Race fast, safe car

Pa's a sap

Ma is as selfless as I am

May a moody baby doom a yam?


Ah, Satan sees Natasha

No devil lived on

Lonely Tylenol

Not a banana baton

No "x" in "Nixon"

O, stone, be not so

O Geronimo, no minor ego

"Naomi," I moan

"A Toyota's a Toyota"

A dog, a panic in a pagoda


Oh no! Don Ho!

Nurse, I spy gypsies - run!

Senile felines

Now I see bees I won

UFO tofu

We panic in a pew

Oozy rat in a sanitary zoo

God! A red nugget! A fat egg under a dog!

Go hang a salami, I'm a lasagna hog




Great stuff. My wife's birthday is palendromic: 27.11.72

Sorry to be the one to have to point this out about the esteemed Mr Yankovic?s video there but (Harmonica Solo) is not a palindrome.


In fact Olo Sacino Marh is bird from Japanese mythology that guarded the seventh level of the heaven of water and had lotus blossoms for feathers.

Don't worry, I'm not really a Yankovich fan. I culled the lyrics and info in a Wiki/Google fu session. To me he's always been a bit base in his humor and his pastiches are none too clever. However, AngryWhiteBoy Polka and this palindromes thing have lifted him up slightly in my eyes. Only slightly though.

I disagree. To make a song that rhymes and scans, entirely written in palindromes is quite clever. And then to use the Bob Dylan angle to imply that the song is deep and meaningful, when in fact the only meaningful thing about it is the palindromes, is also smart, especially since the lyrics are actually meaningless. So there's a lot of playful messing about with codes.

    • No need to provoke you since you respond constantly to everything. It is not a gross exaggeration - I took photos. Do you not like people answering back? A bit head girl aren't you. Unkempt roads and weed-lifted pavements with dog faces bags all over the place - when the blue bags, which are regularly not collected by the LA, are split open by foxes. Again, I have photos.
    • Came across this link today that generates a stock letter to you MP if you object to the Proposed chases in their current format.  https://takingthepip.co.uk/write-to-your-mp/#letter Again, not trying to change individuals minds on here but get a fair consultation and discussion  Only thing to remember is add your contact number to the bottom.orherwise it is ignored 
    • @HeadNun I haven't been through the assessment for mental health issues, god knows they treat you like you have one when you are assessed for motability issues. Therefore I can't comment on what you've read but don't always believe what the media telks you as they often sensationalise things to sell papers and bend the story slightly 😉  All I am doing in this thread is asking people who disagree to the PIP reform in its current format to write to their MP to say so and ask for a well consulted and thought through change. I'm not here to change people's minds but happy to discuss how disability impacts lives.
