Long pause.

PAULNo.

I liked this especially the punchline.

Brilliant!! That works quite nicely. You could end it with the old Paul McCartney joke classic:

So Paul, after your last failed marriage do you think you'll ever go down on one knee again?

PAUL: Do you mean Heather Mills?

Clever and funny, very well done with fitting the lines in meaningfully.

Hadn't heard that one, very good

Thanks! I was worried about this being labelled unoriginal but most of the comments have been positive.

Well, it's not completely original, but what is? I like the punchline.

Are you going to record this as an audio with real song snippets?

Thanks, nice idea. A chum thought animation'd be nice.
I'm tryna think of a gag about the Heather Mills divorce costing an arm and a leg...
