The Lyrics

TLA = Three letter acronym. I was going to provide links from all the TLAs in this parody, but I'm afraid I CBA, and that's TFB.
TLA
Three words summarized initiall-ay
e.g. CIA or JFK
It's recursive is TLA

It was fine, other than the WTF line, of which I find hard to pace. I guess you probably thought of writing a "Yesterday" spoof after seeing my take on it.

:-) You need to sing that line as:
Double - you - tee -eff do I mean, well, eye dee kay
..so scan with:
Why she had to go, I don't know, she wouldn't say

VVG, Phil...the only one I stumbled on was DLT (Dave Lee Travis? surely not....;-)) Out American chums might not get CBA, but I loved it as an ending. 555

Thanks :-)

What you didn't realize, Kristof, was that it was the line "DLT eating a BLT" that actually sparked this parody, and yes it is Dave Lee Travis. I'm showing my age.

LOL - it's like a new dictionary that most of us can't get right away. I had a few of these in one I wrote a while back - The Twitter. The use of these is by too many, IMO. Oops.
