As regular readers will know, Dear Scotland has published some terrible puns in the past. We’ve had articles about Mogwai punsmith Stuart Braithwaite, Scottish football autobiography puns and the story about the return of Dunfermline’s greatest 70s rockers “Jesus! It’s Nazareth“. But this is a Joachim Löw.
Because our friends at “Too Much Apple Pie” have finally figured out what to do on World Cup rest days: make up World Cup music puns. We are very sorry.
Games without front ears
During the quieter moments of World Cup games, Spike and me have been coming up with punny song titles based on this year’s tournament. Just for fun, like. Anyway, with another rest day on our hands (thoroughly stupid invention, by the way, World Cup rest days) we’ve now whittled the originally rather cumbersome list of a couple of hundred songs down to a more manageable forty-five, which you can see listed below. If you don’t like daft puns, now might be a good time to divert your eyes!
