    I remember of the time, a time before cable. When the local anchorman reigned supreme. When people believed everything they heard on TV. This was an age when only men were allowed to read the news. And in San Diego, one anchorman was more man then the rest. His name was Ron Burgundy. He was like a god walking amongst mere mortals. He had a voice that could make a wolverine purr and suits so fine they made Sinatra look like a hobo. In other words, Ron Burgundy was the balls.

    I'm pretty sure I saw one the other day where somebody, for some reason, needed to know the colour of my toothbrush.

    I didn't open it so maybe I missed an important angle.

    Unlikely, though, based on bitter experience.

    Do you remember the time I knew a Girl From Mars?
    I don't know if you knew that.
    Oh we'd stay up late playing cards,
    Henri Winterman Cigars.
    Though she never told me her name,
    I still love you, Girl From Mars.

    But February made me shiver
    With every paper I'd deliver
    Bad news on the doorstep
    I couldn't take one more step
    I can't remember if I cried
    When I read about his widowed bride
    But something touched me deep inside
    The day the music died

    ALL TOGETHER NOWWWWWWWWWWWWWW......

    I remember when cigarettes were not frowned upon, you could smoke in the cinema, on the plane, on the train, you could buy single cigarettes in the shops as a teenager and children could even buy little packets of sweets that looked like cigarettes and came in a cigarette shaped box.
