>What do you get if you play a country record backwards? You get your woman back, your job back, and your house back.

“So I decided that springing out of bed on a lovely sunny day was so important to me that I should give up women and alcohol …”

Folk – eg Simon & Garfunkle’s “Homeward Bound”
“I was always grateful that my parents steered me into a happy and successful job in the Civil Service …”

Stevie Wonder’s “Isn’t she Lovely?”
“My wife was very pleased with the new contraceptive prescribed by the doctor….”

Songs by Leonard Cohen
“So I took the Prozac and everything seemed a lot brighter …”

Songs by Barry Manilow
“Participating in team sports has always been very important to me, I’ve never had much time to spend with members of the opposite sex …”

Heavy Metal

Rap
“I’ve always found that speaking slowly and clearly is the best way to be understood …”

Country and Western – Eg Tammy Wynette
“The divorce was really quite straightforward ….”
or
“I headed off to the bright lights of New York to take up a career in banking … ”
