The famous song “Chuck E’s In Love,” by Ricki Lee Jones, begins thusly: “How come he don’t come and P.I.P. with me down at the meter no more?”
What does this mean? The last time I heard “P.I.P.” the person saying it was a television salesman talking about the nifty device which allows you to view two channels at once. Of course, they didn’t have that stuff when Ricki wrote that song. What gives?
Bah! I heard Casey Kasem say the same thing while “Chuck E’s in Love” was still on AT 40. To add to that, specifically a “public leaning post” was a parking meter.
OH ye gods! How, I wonder, did such a very very silly game manage to be on both sides of the Atlantic at once? Grr - we had that one too. I’d understand older tradition al games and songs travelling, but that one -
