Life On Mars? Maybe Baby

Okay, that’s just off the top of my head. But this thread puts me in mind of a Peter Cook and Dudley Moore sketch from Not Only But Also. It was a spoof of Murder In The Cathedral, with the dialogue made up of popular song titles like “Will You Still Love Me Tomorrow?” and “Please Release Me.” Anyone remember that?

… working in Reservoir Dogs.

Thanks Paul, and esp. for adding this to your own blog!
