Zombie Songs

How many Harry Potter reviews are we going to read that are based on some pun about “Wild about Harry”? And how many reviews of “Legally Blonde” twisted “Gentlemen Prefer Blondes” in one way or another? I have nothing against writers (including headline writers) taking the easy way out. In fact, I’m all in favor of it. But – and here’s the point – no one has heard the songs these puns are based on in fifty years or more. The songs live on now only in punning headlines.

Mini-Bogus Contest: Send me headlines that refer to zombie songs. I’ll run the list here and in my newsletter. The prize: A lovely bunch o’ coconuts.
