SONG CHALLENGE WINNER!

Thay That Again, You Thwollen Thongue Thevil -- A jury in Tavares, Florida, convicted Leal Fleming, 45, of drunk driving in November, despite his insistence that the reason he slurred his words to a police officer, and couldn't breathe into a breathalyzer, was that he had just been bitten on the tongue by a rat snake and was on his way to a hospital to get treatment for the swelling. Said Fleming after the trial, "After the verdict came in, I had some second thoughts (about not taking an offered plea bargain), but I still think there was a point to our defense."

Fibula's Comments:  With all appropriate apologies (it's Wednesday evening/I'm tired/the dog ate my brain). . .)

For guiness sake
I was bitten by a snake
Bit by a snake
It was a tongue-biting snake

I can't talk straight
Cos I'm bitten by a snake
Now I'm getting my thrills
Down on the interstate
Don't tell me I'm a fake (ow!)
Bitten by a snake
Yaaarrrgh!

You shake it to the left
You shake it to the right
You try to speak the words
But your tongue won't say them right
You shake
You got bit by a snake
There's one thing I can't break
( . . . and that's the law)

and finish up with...
Snake it up baby now
(Snake it up baby!)
Pissed* and out
(Pissed and out)
C'mon, c'mon c'mon baby now
(C'mon baby)
Bit in the mouth
Bit in the mouth . . .

(*being the Uk version of "pissed", i.e. drunk)
