Competition 3371 invited you to rewrite the lyrics of ‘Let’s Call The Whole Thing Off’ to be sung not by Fred and Ginger but by another mismatched pair. Trump and Harris cropped up the most, while Joseph Houlihan deserves a mention for his version (‘I’m a Zoomer, you’ve a Boomer’s/ Problematic sense of humour…’). Those below win £25.
You are the Windsor, and I am the Markle;
You bring the heirlooms and I bring the sparkle.
The Windsor, the Markle, the heirlooms, the sparkle:
Let’s show the world how to live!
You like the Roller and I like the Caddy;
The papers abhor me and say I’m the baddie.
The Roller, the Caddy, the papers, the baddie:
Let’s show the world how to live!But oooh, if we put ourselves up front
We’ve got to act like kings
And do all those boring things that clip our stylish wings.
So, I’ll flog my products and you play your polo –
Sometimes together and sometimes just solo.
