Sign on you crazy Diamond

Money, get away ​

Get a good job with more pay ​

And your O.K. ​

Money, it's a gas ​

Grab that cash with both hands ​

And make a stash ​

And Bill Clinton plagurised Pink Floyd's 'Have a Cigar' when he propositioned Monica Lewinsky.

It's The Sun headline for today (29th June), and quite a clever one it is too.

In the office we were discussing how many of the general public and/or The Sun readership would actually get the Pink Floyd quote? We thought about 20% of the population at most. Mostly men between 35 - 55.

What do you think?

Oh I reckon a few.

I don't think that anything beats the headline from the NME article discussing the collapse of a temporary stand at the 1994 Earl's Court The Wall reunion concert:

"You'll Need Another Brick in That Wall, Mate"

I just love the long intro to that song, oh yeah!

Isn't there some statistic somewhere where the average age of a sun reader is 12 or similar?

No that's that average READING age..

No that's that average READING age..

Reading cards and word tins at the ready...

I think it was IQ, not age.

No doubt the FT will have the headline "Diamond is forever "

No doubt the FT will have the headline "Diamond is forever "

My copy doesn't.

I don't think the FT are particular fans of Bob Diamond. And let's not forget that as soon as the rate rigging by a few of their traders was first discovered by Barclays' own systems, it was reported to the FSA - by Barclays.

should be 'diamond sleezer'…

Ooooh the irony .............

The Sun owned by a scumbag.

Barclays run by a scumbag.

Diamond is a banker's best friend.

He's a rich boy
He don't try to hide it
Diamonds on the soles of his shoes .................

 

[User482]

It's a great headline!!

But not as good as "zip me up before you go go" following the George Michael incident...

 

[TheDoctor]

Well, that was just genius.
