    The fact that it's all made up says a lot about the genius of that bit. Imagine conceiving of something like that, with all the details and mini-punchlines and everything. Truly a masterpiece of stand up comedy.

    Comment cut and pasted from the said comedy set (which you should watch): "I'm a Londoner. In about 1960 I used to repeatedly play my way through my young uncle's mostly American record collection. One of my favourites was Tallahassee Lassie by Freddy Cannon*. The last line of the first verse is "Down in F-L-A". Just as well this was a pre-1973 release since after that the line would've been "Down in F-L", which doesn't scan so well."
