h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

A cracking good entry. Pleased to see the quality control remaining high.

During my University days, I actually required something of a reputation as a Bing Crosby impersonator (**shudders with the memory**). I used to do little 'Bing Sings' sessions in the piano room where I trotted out Bing-esque versions of Spice Girls songs and the like. Alcohol being my only excuse.

I always wondered what the 'B' stood for, Master Bing...

I that were the case, I'd just sound like Chandler from Friends.

An excellent read.

'I wanna really really really really wanna bu-bu-bu-boo'.

What a great idea. I know Mike Flowers Pops has cornered the market really, but Easy Listening Bing-alikes doing popular modern hits... B, I think you've hit on a gold-mine there. I could possibly do a decent 'Bobby Darin sings Nirvana' for ya if you like

"When the light's out, it's less dangerous
Here we are now, entertain us"

Lyrics made for a brat-pack lounge singer, surely.

an excellent reminder of an excellent crooner

You'd be better off than you are...
You could be swinging on a



I was brought up on all things Bing, my Dad could sing just like him.
My parents' "our song" is "True Love" peformed by Bing in High Society.
Love that film.

I can't hear the opening bars to White Christmas without getting choked.

1977 was a very bad year for me, I lost my first baby, then Elvis died at 42, then Bing died.


In the jigsaw that is my life, Bing is a very significant piece.

Congrats on a good entry *crosses off list of things to do*
