Cheeky

[webofevil]

I just passed Lembit Öpik with both Cheeky Girls. As they were walking through the courtyard, two postmen leant out of the postroom window, cheerfully shouted “Cheeky cheeky!” and started singing “#We are the cheeky girls...” The girls smiled and waved. This must happen all the time. It must be odd when every passer-by thinks they have a licence to shout things at your girlfriend when the two of you are out, however well-intentioned, even more so when it’s unlikely that anyone’s going to shout anything at you. How often do you think he hears “Oi! Asteroids”? Rarely, I suspect. Instead, the heckles he gets in and out of Parliament are also all about the Cheeky Girls, and probably always will be.

I have never heard the cheeky girls song. How do people hear this song? I like to think I'm fairly media-savvy, but I've never heard it, or the ketchup one either.

You hear it by going to YouTube, of course.

One of the creepiest things I have ever done is sit in the middle of the floor at a holiday camp watching two pre-pubescent girls singing "touch my bum, don't be shy".

Sadly, YouTube is blocked at work. Curses, foiled again. And I'm not home tonight until late. What a shame!

He started chatting to me the other day about how the Upper Committee Corridor stinks of booze and that maybe it was him.

Perhaps people shout, "Oi, Öpik, you stink of booze" at him as he certainly seems to have a worry about it.
