Can't see any threads on this yet, otherwise I would have posted this in one of them.
Anyway, this reminded me of a line from one of my favourite songs - "First she's Jekyll, and then she's Hyde/At least she makes a lovely pair."
The song is "mood rings" by Relient k. Hilarious song.

Only the literary Jekyll and Hyde. The metaphorical ones can be anybody.

Speaking of references to Jekyll and Hyde in song, check out "You Can't Teach a Woman How to Drink" by the Happy Schnapps Combo (written by J.Krueger):
Well I took my gal out to dinner, it was such an enjoyable night
She said I was the best looking guy in the place and I said "Honey, you're right"
Pick up the check, said "What the heck, let's stop for a drink somewhere"
But when it comes to women and liquor, lord let the bar beware
She had a couple drinks, couple drinks and she started to cry
I came in da bar with Dr.Jekyll, now I'm sittin' here with Mrs.Hyde
Oh how can we come so far in this world, how can we come so far in this world
Put a man on the moon, make computers that think
But you can't teach a woman how to drink
... etc

The anybodies in these songs are both female. It must be coincidence.

Why thank you, kind member of the forums. I hope that you found my contribution at least mildly interesting.
Nice pick up on "buyer," and "bar" possibly being homonyms, I didn't notice it. Probably something to do with the fact that they barely even sound remotely similar here.

Mm--and there was the theme to the old Daniel Boone television show: "killed him a bar when he was only three". I hope that you found my contribution at least mildly interesting. Shore did!

And Fess Parker also starred as Dan'l Boone.
(I guess that has already been established, sorry. Was looking
at the link on Youtube, and saw it there).
