SUE LAWLEY IS INTERVIEWING HILARY CLINTON
SUE
Welcome to Desert Island Discs Mrs Clinton, and what are you're first two choices?
HILARY
I'm a Survivor, and I will Survive,
SUE
Perhaps a bit of a theme, a little political?
HILARY
Not at all, that's my 3rd one....Fear of a Blackman's Dick by NAS.
SUE
Controversial. Next week Barack Obama, whose first choice is, I've got 99 problems but the Bitch ain't one.
Um - are they real songs? (Well obviously not songs as such - probably rap)
Yes but I suspect they're abit obscure.
99 problems is a great song. Such heavy beats.
Punch line is better with the real song title wihich is just "99 problems" - let the reader work it out, and to heck with those over 40.

Are you 39 then?
i must confess I didn't know the actual song title. It was a guess, for a last minute Treason show entry.
You could have used the classic Barry Manilow ballad, "I have a bigger cock than you Hilary". The B side of Copacabana.
Is that for real fess up quick, as I am going to google it.

I think if you can find two song titles (more mainstream/middle of the road)to replace the last two then this skit would work better for me.
Did you choose obscure songs deliberately to add to the joke in someway, or did you just have trouble finding two song titles that worked well with the skit?
It did make me laugh.
BTW did you mean 'black man's' rather than 'Blackman' (ie like Honor Blackman)? Cos that is funnier on a different level

I have no idea what I mean most of the time. I just type wht the voice tell me to (all though I wish they had better grammer)
And Sofa, I was googling for song titles (was sure there was one called Nigger can't win, word only used in msot ironic sense).
But the 99 problems, I'd heard and could just imagine Barrack whistling it sotto voce at Hilary during debates.
99 problems is not an obscure song - i'd leave it.
Ooh Griff that is so good, I'm going to update my entry to Treason.
And MLewis my taste in music is frozen at 1994, like Buck Rogers.
The only music thing I'm interested in this eyar is Carter's come back tour.

I agree.
However, 'Fear of a Black man's dick' isn't as well known. Griff made a good suggestion or any album from 'Niggaz With Attitude'.
