On amputated lines with peculiar effects, Luke is definitely leading the field:

I do remember being slightly titillated by a generic folkie at an acoustic
club in Sydney. She was singing a song about kids' toys which featured the
line "Gonna buy me a motorboat that goes 'putt-putt' over the ocean."
Something about the pronunciation of "putt-putt". Hmm.


Hmmm. Indeed. Especially as I keep misreading that as "motorbike that goes "putt-putt over the sea", which reminds me of "Motorbike to Heaven", which reminds me of Salad's first album, which reminds me of:

You put me in your place
So go on, the pleasure's mine
I gotta see your face


Which we can now allow in because the bar has been raised to hapless indie chancers of the 1990s.
