Big Yellow Taxi there by Joni Mitchell, a song in which she complains that they 'paved paradise to put up a parking lot' - a measure which actually would have alleviated traffic congestion on the outskirts of paradise. Something which Joni singularly fails to point out, perhaps because it doesn't quite fit in with her blinkered view of the world. Nevertheless, nice song
and this one from the classic The Day Today
PARTRIDGE: Yes. This is sports desk. Football! The Liverpool versus Tanners match ended last night with defeat for the Tanners. I visited their dressing room.
PARTRIDGE: The atmosphere here hangs heavy, like a big smell. The smell of men together, the smell of cats' musk. Bob Mariner, you missed the penalty. Why?
MARINER: Yeah, Alan, it was a bad one. It took the top of my boot, it was all over in an instant.
PARTRIDGE: You looked really stupid.
MARINER: Yeah, yeah, it wasn't a good performance. I'm going to take a shower now, all right? Thank you.
PARTRIDGE: Are you going to wash away the stain of defeat?
MARINER: Er, yeah, yeah. Get clean now, and look on to the rest of the season.
PARTRIDGE: But when you get home and go to bed with your wife, and she gets a look at your body and says "Bob, remove the stain", will you remove it?
