More contributions will be credited and
welcome. In the interests of 'good taste', I've edited out Leonard Cohen's
"No lung, Marianne", because Marianne died this year.
"Blue" by Joni Mitchell was discounted because Joni's also
heading for the Rainbow Bridge; anyway the titles are supposed to be changed - play by the rules. Thanks to Steve Booth from Aberdeen for
sharing on Faceboak an original list of song titles changed by ageing issues.
Black humour in a similar '(You're so varicose)
vein', to quote Carly Simon:-
Funeral
songs – the ultimate box set
