uwg… Good job with the lyric from Lola by the Kinks.
I had a live 1970 video of the song up, with its lyrics, (yeh, youtube embedded again) that sadly seems to have been deleted.
Maybe it can live on, sans video…
I met her in a club down in North Soho
Where you drink champagne and it tastes just like cherry cola
C-O-L-A cola.
She walked up to me and she asked me to dance.
I asked her name and in a dark brown voice she said, “Lola”
L-O-L-A Lola, lo lo lo lo Lola
Well, I’m not the world’s most physical guy,
But when she squeezed me tight she nearly broke my spine
Oh my Lola, lo lo lo lo Lola
Well, I’m not dumb but I can’t understand
Why she walks like a woman and talks like a man
Oh my Lola, lo lo lo lo Lola, lo lo lo lo Lola
btw: The song had to be changed for the US market after Coca Cola objected to having its name used… C-O-C-A Cola…uh, bad. Also, the song is believed to have been about a transvestite that Ray Davies unknowingly hooked up with at a Soho club. Explains the lyric.
Now *THAT* sounds more like the names I end up using. 😀 Feel yer pain, Mouse, I feel yer pain …
Whew! Good thing it wasn’t that computer HAL from 2001.
The computer that walks like a woman and talks like a man.

I prefer the Weird Al.
Sorry for the MIA on the comments. I’ve been in Ohio. Nothing more need be said, yah?
… at your command.
Condolences on your loss, Brig. I hope she didn’t suffer.
Funerals are a lousy reason to have family reunions. Weddings and births are MUCH better.
