Oh, of course, _ **I** _ “missed” that “blokes” wasn’t referring to the O&A version, but to Elmo, the singer of the original version (and the rest of the voices in it) which hasn’t been posted in this thread. /sarcasm Seriously? Elmo’s voice quality and intonation aren’t quite as polished as the Rovers, but he certainly can carry a tune. So you definitely don’t know what the phrase means. ---
