> [@Chessic\_Sense](#): > > Long shot because the lyrics are wrong, but is it Travis Tritt - [Anymore](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cXr8gxSjmq8)? If not, was it sung by a woman or a man? Sung by a man. It’s kind of uptempo. It’s kind of a jokey song. The hook was that he never really listened to her so she left him. Like I said, it got heavy play on the major station for a while. Big mystery to me. I appreciate your taking a shot at it. If you pursue it farther, the “blah blah blah, something something something” are the actual lyrics - not a placeholder for lyrics I can’t remember. Just to show you how I google-able this is, I think I remember there being a similar thread somewhere (here?) where someone was also trying to find this song. Now I can’t even re-find that thread. ---

Good luck finding anything out about that which doesn’t reference Monty Python! Challenge accepted 😉 Pre-1950 Google book search for “caer bannog” (with a space) brings up [resource](https://books.google.com.au/books?id=OOJAAAAAYAAJ&q=caer+bannog&dq=caer+bannog&hl=en&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwiW_9vd7IPkAhVwIbcAHc9aA-UQ6AEIQjAE) linking “bannog” to the old fashioned spelling “bannauc” [Caer Bannauc](https://www.google.com/search?q=%22caer+bannauc%22&rlz=1C1CHZL_enAU761AU762&oq=%22caer+bannauc%22&aqs=chrome.0.69i59j69i60.8336j0j4&sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8) (Doing this to be helpful, not just because I’m a dweeb with no life. I mean, yeah, that too _obviously_, but not JUST that) ---

Season 4, Episode 7 “Wedding Preparations”, right at the very end of the episode. “What about your wedding in Kenya?” “Oh, it was summer so we had the service in the garden. Some of the male guests wore shorts. Great baggy khaki jobs with legs of about four feet wide. I had flick-ups”. “Flick-ups! Whatever happened to them?” “They went the way of the big khaki shorts, I expect. And it rained all day. I was so worried my flick-ups would go limp.” If you’re looking for dialogue from television shows, most of them have Google-accessible transcripts of questionable legal status (“fair use” for educational and historical purposes). From there it’s a simple search function on the transcript for each episode. ~Max ---

Don’t take this as gospel, but the first thing this makes me think of is trousers like [these](https://www.girlsaskguys.com/img/1291732), with the cuffs turned up at the bottom [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/un-googleable-things/838356.md?page=1)
