lyrical meetings

[mattham]

I can't play this little game any more as I no longer work in an office, but when I did, I liked to see which song lyrics I could slip into meetings without people noticing. Does anyone else do this?

Among my favourites were: "Everything counts in large amounts". And: "You don't need a weatherman to know which way the wind blows".

"Some people are willing to wipe their feet on anything with welcome written on it" from Andy Partridge XTC. I actually got that into a conversation without the other person realising it the other day. I know, weird, huh?

But do pleeeease change your thread title to include lines from films too. One of my fave films is My Cousin Vinny and I am always getting lines in fron that. In a heavy New York Joe Pesci accent too.

"You were serious about that?"

"I guess the fu*&ing thing's broken then."

"I'm done with this guy."

"What a fu&*ing nightmare" (That's Marisa Tomei's line!)

Excellent.

In a 90 min meeting this morning I managed (shown with wrap-around context):

C'mon guys, "One Team One Dream".

Clearly we're "Fixing a Hole".

There's "Obviously 5 Believers".

You need to "Get Your Motor Runnin'".

For queries of the that nature "I'm The Man".

and (since she leaves on Friday)....

Let's all say "Gudbye T'Jane".

I strangely make a habit of this in meetings. Think up the lines then slip them, sometimes steering the chat to the appropriate point so the line seems wholly relevant.

?Thank you for that Russell.

Right, now folks I think that after Russell?s very enlightening presentation on the Statham Report it is clear that there are 3 things we have to do to meet the needs of a changing customer base. And those are; Stop, collaborate and listen!?
