SONG CHALLENGE WINNER!
Brit Flits Nix Knicks! London (August 2001) -- Female athletes competing for Britain in the World Championships say their official team knickers are too skimpy. The runners are worried they will be flashing their bottoms at spectators. Officials say they don't want athletes to feel uncomfortable and have allowed them to wear last year's Olympic kit. Kathy Butler, who is competing in the 5000m at the championships in Canada, says the small knickers have left athletes with a dilemma. "If you pull them up you can see your bum and when you pull them down you can see your hips. They just don't fit properly," she said. She added: "I can't find my old Olympic ones, so I'll be wearing the hipsters." A spokesman for UK Athletics said that officials have given the all-clear for runners to wear last year's design. "Something had to be done. We can't ask our top athletes to run 25 laps wearing something they feel uncomfortable in," he said.
Sweet Marie by derrymacash
(Another skit on a Percy French number ... this time on "Sweet Marie")
All eyes are on me girl Sweet Marie
When she runs she's damn near bare Sweet Marie
The costume that she wears
Rides up her derriere
And her top reveals her pair Sweet Marie
CHORUS:
Houl' yer hoult Sweet Marie
Don't you boult Sweet Marie
Or you'll never win your first Olympic gold
Every lecher with a telly
Is focussed on your belly
As you give it lots of welly Sweet Marie
Her brassiere used to separate and lift
Now her running pants are creeping up her rift
She hears the starting gong
And she's thundering along
And her pants become a thong Sweet Marie
CHORUS
I ask if she'd run naked just for me
She blushes and she whispers "Wait and see"
Says I "Don't be a prude
It would do my poor heart good
If you hurdled in the nude Sweet Marie"
