No, nothing to do with Derek Batey. This week we'd like you to suggest some great songs whose titles contain the honorifics Mr or Mrs (or Ms – this is the Guardian, for goodness sake).
They can be fictional (like Noël Coward's Mrs Worthington) or real (Ozzy Osbourne's Mr Crowley). And they need not have real-sounding names after the honorific (Jean Knight's Mr Big Stuff).
There you go – simple. No point in being Mr Complicated.
The toolbox:
* This week's collaborative Spotify playlist
* The RR archive
* The Marconium (blog containing a wealth of data on RR)
* The 'Spill (blog for the RR community)
Please do:
* Post your nominations before midday on Tuesday if you wish them to be considered.
* Write a few lines advocating the merits of your choices.
But please don't:
* Post more than one third of the lyrics of any song.
* Dump lists of nominations. If you must post more than two or three at once, please attempt to justify your choices.
Cut-out-and-keep guide to the strange words used by regular RR posters:
* Dond: To second another reader's nomination. Here's how the word was coined.
* Zedded: The song has already been included in an A-list (and so convention dictates it cannot be included in another one). The songs I mentioned above are all zedded, in case you were wondering.
* Assfairy: A song that I have repeatedly failed to include in RR playlists, no doubt due to poor taste and judgment. Here are definitions offered by RR stalwarts Shoegazer and Pairubu
