Ahem...

Wrote when particularly sozzled - can't remember writing a word, but can remember swearing blind to the pub that it was Abba who released it:

F/X Ringing phone

RASPUTIN(Welsh Valley accent) Hello. Rasputin's phone, Rasputin speaking. Oh right. Hiya. (Shouts) Mam!

MAM(Welsh Valley accent) What? Who is it?

RASPUTINIt's Abba, it is.

MAMOh shit, what do they want now then?

RASPUTINWhat do you want now, Abba? Oh right. Yeah. Yeah. Ok. 'Anga Banga. Mam!

MAMWhat?

RASPUTINThey say for us to look what they did for Chiquitos

MAMI hate Mexican. No deal!

RASPUTINRight. Sorry Abba, no deal.

F/XPhone slams down.

F/XPhone rings

RASPUTINHello. Rasputin's phone, Rasputin speaking. Oh right. Hiya. (Shouts) Mam!

MAM Who is it?

RASPUTINBoney M.

MAM Who the bollocks are Boney M, then?

RASPUTINBy the Rivers of Babylon Mam.

MAM Oh, By the Rivers of Babylon. I love that.

RASPUTINThey say they'll add the line 'Russia's Greatest Love Machine'.

MAMAh, there we go then. We'll have that.

I just like the idea of Rasputin answering his phone! Nice, quick, cheap, love it!

It's a nice idea.
I wonder if it would work better if the Mum was answering the phone & relaying the info to Rasputin himself.

Mum: Rasp! It's Abba on the phone they wanna do a song about you.

Interesting - now I'm fully sober I think it's a bit cack - but there we are. Fred and Tom - you're very nice

I quite like it. Fred's idea has some merit though. Or even Rasputin's agent rather than his mam?
