| Description |
The Telephone was given a contemporary setting, and used cellphones. Bridge To Somewhere shows two couples playing bridge (though one husband was never present), with mounting innuendos, complications and misunderstandings only followed by Placido the caged canary. The singers would drop character from time to time to deliver commercial breaks. Humorous harmonised jingles to promote a brand of dog food, travel through Fly By Night Agency, or sea sickness preventatives from No Quease. |
