Mr Spleen Shines Umpteen Things Clean
We weren't planning on doing a Spleen piece this week, but as we were sitting pondering upon which was better, a house shaped like a peacock or chicken nuggets cut into dinosaur shapes, when our disfiguiring wound opened and the spleen popped out onto the floor much like a lump of uncooked meat. After we regained consciousness, we discovered that the spleen was back in it's rightful place, our wound was stapled togetther and a piece of disturbingly moist paper was lying next to us with this weeks question on it so, without further ado, and while we try and shake off the light-headedness we're currently feeling, here's the latest question
How do you say Deeee-groovy?
How do you say Deeee-gorgeous?
How do you say Deeee-Liiiiiiiiiitttttttttttttttteeeeeeee?
Younger readers unfamiliar with "Groove Is In The Heart" may not fully be able to answer that question....

So, it's Groove O'Clock then is it? What the young Oz-ian is referring to is their song, What is Love? Not to be confused with the Haddaway song of the same name. In this they start by asking us how we say many words beginning with 'de'. A conceit with starts well with "delicious", "delectable" and "define", is falling away slightly by the time we get to the misspelt "devine" and has collapsed intoa mess of building materials and word roots as we get asked the correct pronounciation of "delovely", "degorgoues", "degroovy" and the totally clutching at straws "dewith it". Anyway, the answer to your question is, undoubtably, "Groove is in the Heart is one of the best records ever made.".
The Spleen
So, there we go, despite his unexpected appearence, The TiaPL Spleen still comes up with the goods. We're heading off to hospital to get a tetanus shot now, as we're pretty sure these staples are doing us no good whatsoever.
