New favourite game

Today at work we have been mostly inserting as many song titles as we can into everyday conversation. With hilarious consequences. To whit;

Two of our youngest recruits had been complaining about paying tax on their wages (a humble £6 - "You don't know you're born!" we older ones cried) this morning. This afternoon AM was saying that they'd spent half the day complaining about one thing or another. My reply, "I think what AM is trying to say is 'Shaddap you face' "

D'you see?

So what I'm trying to do is start a craze. I've already had a volunteer from an office in the Midlands that we deal with. Ah, I can see it now. Office workers the world over laughing their tits off at, "What did you do this weekend Neil?" "I lost my heart to a Starship Trooper." and the like. Honestly, its funnier than I've made it sound here.

I don't think emails should count though. It gives you too much time to google a suitable reply. Actual verbal conversation only and the person who gets most in wins.

You can also add a variation for anyone who's having trouble coming up with song titles. Think of a very silly title to use or something very obscure and challenge them to get it into a conversation. My boss J managed to ask one of the chaps, "Do you think I'm sexy?" which elicited lots of giggles from us.

Go on, have a go. You know you want to.

And don't forget, the winner takes it all.
