Your nicknames for players

[colinwasp]

For Barnet' the best I can recall are Danny "Return to" Senda and Judy for Jason Puncheon. I think Emil "Needles" Mpenza takes some beating though.

[G-Man]

The composers of Irish folk songs had prescient wisdom: "And it's no, nay, never; no, nay, never Neymar."

[Various Artist]

Love Kev's post above about "Jean" Neymar. I can never hear the phrase j'en ai marre though without thinking of Johnny Marr, so I'm immediately picturing Neymar with the latter's haircut, which is quite a thought.

[Jah Womble]

I always hear his name in the style of Dick Valentine - singer of Electric Six: as in 'Neymar! Neymar! I wanna take you to a...(etc)'

[Toby Gymshorts]

"That useless bastard" Alberto Moreno. Or sometimes Alberto Moron-o. Depends how sweary he makes me.

[Toby Gymshorts]

I always hear his name in the style of Dick Valentine - singer of Electric Six: as in 'Neymar! Neymar! I wanna take you to a...(etc)'

You appear to be singing "Gay Bar" to the tune of "Danger! High Voltage". Tsk.

[Jah Womble]

What are you on about?

[Toby Gymshorts]

You've conflated two songs by Electric Six.

[Jah Womble]

How? If I were singing 'Neymar' to Danger High Voltage, it would've come out something like: 'Neymar! Neymar! High voltage! When we touch, when we kiss!'

But I 'wasn't', and it 'didn't'.

[Toby Gymshorts]

But there is no repetition in "Gay Bar". To make it fit you'd need to sing "Girl! I wanna take you to a Neymar!" or similar.

[Jah Womble]

What? Of course there is, ffs - the section that goes: 'Girl! I wanna take you to a gay bar! Gay bar! Gay bar! Etc.' Jeez, he only says it about twelve times. ('No repetition', my phat ass...)

[Toby Gymshorts]

Let me better explain. He doesn't say "Gay Bar, Gay Bar" twice at the start of a line, as you've mentioned above. He does that in "Danger!...".

So you've conflated the two.

[Jah Womble]

No - let 'me' explain, since I'm the person that both thought of it and posted it. And therefore knows what he's talking about.

I began with the bit that sounds like 'Neymar' - as this is the bit that jumps into my head when I hear his name, ie, the entire thrust of this thread.

I'm sure that if his name sounded like a line from the last verse of The Twelve Days of Christmas, you'd not require me to write out an entire lyric sheet in order to make what is a fairly fatuous point?

[Toby Gymshorts]

'Neymar! Neymar! I wanna take you to a...(etc)'

Those quote marks, eh?

I mean, yes, it's a minor point, but that's how it reads and, indeed, sounds in my head. But at least you know what you're talking about.

[Jah Womble]

Those are not 'quote marks', they are inverted commas - therefore not quoting from the song in question. Because it isn't about Neymar. Obviously.

I think most people could have had a reasonable stab at my shorthand, yes.

[Toby Gymshorts]

Mmm hmm.

[Jah Womble]

Now - how the hell am I going to explain to you how I hear former Stromsgodset winger David Zelvedrummersdrumming's name?

[Toby Gymshorts]

Repeat it twice, erroneously, at the start of a line?

[Jah Womble]

I only repeated it once, of course.

If we're insisting on being obtuse.

[Toby Gymshorts]

I'll be honest, I'm not even sure why I'm arsed.

[Jah Womble]

Ask your GP.

[Toby Gymshorts]

Even she would be puzzled.

[treibeis]

Much as I love picking holes in Jah Womble's knowledge of music, you, Toby Gymshorts, are talking out of your arse about the Neymar/Gay Bar thing. It's as wrong as Them Shoes.

[Toby Gymshorts]

I'm coming to Hamburg to stand on all your holes.

[Jah Womble]

Now that could be an Electric Six lyric...
