No point acting like Mr Complicated this week ? just send us your favourite songs with Mr, Mrs or Ms in the title ...
No, nothing to do with Derek Batey. This week we'd like you to suggest some great songs whose titles contain the honorifics Mr or Mrs (or Ms ? this is the Guardian, for goodness sake).
They can be fictional (like No�l Coward's Mrs Worthington) or real (Ozzy Osbourne's Mr Crowley). And they need not have real-sounding names after the honorific (Jean Knight's Mr Big Stuff).
There you go ? simple. No point in being Mr Complicated.
The toolbox:
* This week's collaborative Spotify playlist
* The RR archive
* The Marconium (blog containing a wealth of data on RR)
* The 'Spill (blog for the RR community)
Please do:
* Post your nominations before midday on Tuesday if you wish them to be considered.
* Write a few lines advocating the merits of your choices.
But please don't:
* Post more than one third of the lyrics of any song.
* Dump lists of nominations. If you must post more than two or three at once, please attempt to justify your choices.
Cut-out-and-keep guide to the strange words used by regular RR posters:
* Dond: To second another reader's nomination. Here's how the word was coined.
* Zedded: The song has already been included in an A-list (and so convention dictates it cannot be included in another one). The songs I mentioned above are all zedded, in case you were wondering.
* Assfairy: A song that I have repeatedly failed to include in RR playlists, no doubt due to poor taste and judgment. Here are definitions offered by RR stalwarts Shoegazer and Pairubu
