Today's theory, which is
not about the
brontosaurus, starts now and proceeds thusly: devoid of context it is almost impossible to distinguish between the following two things:
- Bruce Forsyth's inter- and intra-game patter on Play Your Cards Right;
- the lyrics of Motorhead's Ace Of Spades.
One corollary of this is that you can read the lyrics to
Ace Of Spades in the style of Bruce Forsyth and quite plausibly imagine them being said during an episode of
Play Your Cards Right, especially when combined with a few standard Forsyth phrases. The secret to doing a Bruce Forsyth impression, as if anyone needs to be told, is to tilt your head back slightly, thrust your lower jaw forward, warm up with a series of
uvuvuvuvuvuvuvuv noises like someone trying to start a car with a flat battery, and then segue into the main bit. So if you close your eyes and picture an imaginary episode of
Play Your Cards Right it's quite possible to imagine the following exchanges taking place:
If you like to gamble, I tell you I'm your man
You win some, lose some, all the same to me
Didn't they do well?
All right my love?
Playing for the high one, dancing with the devil
Going with the flow, it's all a game to me
To me, it's all a game
You know I'm born to lose, and gambling's for fools
You don't get anything for a pair, not in this game
Higher than a three.......
The Ace Of Spades
Obviously you've got to do the voice. DO IT. DO THE VOICE.
