So there we have it вЂ“ Another food and drink song with ridiculous lyrics. What had they been doing all the time they were together for goodness sake? Sleeping and reading newspapers by the sound of it. Oh how they laughed вЂ“ Really? You place a personal ad and the person who turns up is the person you are trying to escape from вЂ“ Yes, what a jolly time they must have had mid-morning at OвЂ™MalleyвЂ™s, chiding each other playfully about how little they knew each other. By now I am highly dubious as to the character of the person he is likely to encounter but lo and behold it turns out to be his own вЂњlovelyвЂќ lady (what happened to the вЂњ oldвЂќ lady he was tired of).

So it is night time, but he has managed to read the personal ad, submit a response (which wasnвЂ™t half bad so he thought вЂ“ grrr) and in the pre-internet era managed to be all set for a meeting in a bar (?) the following morning. What red-blooded male having problems with вЂњhis ladyвЂќ wouldnвЂ™t reply? Combine that with his dad-dancing, smugness and overly literal actions and he looks about as uncool as humanly possible in 1979 вЂ“ Looking a bit like a worn-out recording yourself Mr Holmes.ДЄnd then it gets worse вЂ“ He replies to a personal ad placed by a goodtime girlВ who likes having sex outdoors ( piГ±a coladas and making love in the dunes), and doesnвЂ™t care about intelligence or fitness levels ( have half a brain and not into yoga). Now sadly with a story song like this, sung in the first person, you canвЂ™t help but think of the person doing the singing, and watching the video clip, Rupert (Steve Wright in the afternoon anyone?) looks as if heвЂ™s just come off the golf course. Their relationship was, according to the narrator, вЂњlike a worn-out recording, of a favourite songвЂќ.

Maybe itвЂ™s because IвЂ™ve now been married for nearly 25 years, but if вЂњhe was tired of his ladyвЂќ maybe it was time for a frank discussion about what was going wrong and how to fix it, not resort to the personal ads. Until now I thought I had always liked this song as it has a jaunty upbeat chorus, but listening to it again has just made me very angry. Escape (The PiГ±a Colada Song) by Rupert Holmes:
