A Meme - #Oktoberfest #8 - Escape (The PiƱa Colada Song) - Rupert Holmes


I wasn't going to post this, but saw an amusing meme which referenced the song in the latest Donald Trump criminal activity. The problem is with Trump and Johnson we laugh at them when we should be jailing them, they are allowed to get away with murder literally and there are always people defending them often citing the law, But essentially this is a funny meme and the song to go with it.

"If you're big into Nazis and don't have half a brain
If you pay for sex from pornstars then try to bribe it away
I'm the putz that you looked for, 
Vote for me 'cause of hate"

No doubt I have the song somewhere in my collection on some compilation because it has appeared on many soundtracks, but for such a slab of cheese, divorced from the awful lyrics the tune is actually quite good. It did appear on the "Guardians of the Galaxy" soundtrack and is always part of standard 1970s fare often served up by local radio and wedding DJs (if they still exist, I recently saw one in Dalgety Bay so they are still around).

Sleep well, I am flagging now.
