•    *We’re having a gang bang!*   

    I bet that got your attention, didn’t it?

    No, sorry to disappoint. But I’m not about to partake in an orgy. This was the song that 66yr old Betty Bryce sang in The X-Factor last weekend. If you’re British then you’ll know what the X-Factor is. To my illustrious American friends, think American Idol, but open to the over 30′s and groups, rather than just soloists.

    Last weekend all of Britain was a-titter when Betty Bryce auditioned in front of the judges, including Simon Cowell, and she burst into song with the following tune, which made it onto YouTube, it was that funny:

    Did you manage to get a look at the judges’ faces?? Bless Betty, I bet she didn’t have a clue.

    That’s the problem these days. Words that used to have different meanings and connotations years ago, mean something completely different now. As I understand it (and I’m happy to be corrected by someone who does know) a gang bang was a party, a get together. It’s an old music hall song (again, in the States, think vaudeville). and obviously the word gang bang meant something totally different then. I wonder if she was ever told by someone a little younger what the word actually means now. She was probably mortified. She made through to Boot Camp, by the way.
