Just as i was sitting down to watch Squid Game, the phone rang and it was the Organisers of the COP26 event in Glasgow and they had a problem because they had arranged for introduction music for the World Leaders but the guy responsible has flounced off with his record collection after a dispute over being served the Scottish delicacy, a deep friend mars bars, and now they want me to come to Glasgow with my record collection and play the intro music for each nations leader.
I originally said no because, well, it's Scotland but they promised to pay me a trillion pounds so i said leave it with me and i began looking through my CD collection for appropriate songs.
The leaders will be introduced alphabetically so first up is Australia's Scott Morrison and after his betrayal of France over the nuclear submarine deal, 'Beautiful Liar' by Beyoncé and Shakira fits the bill as does 'Being Boring' by the Pet Shop Boys for the Belgian leader which should make him think of home.
With his inept record on the Coronavirus running rampant in his country, it has to be 'Don't stand so close to me' by the Police for Jair Bolsonaro and i hope the Canadian Prime Minister remembers his black face because its 'Proud to be Black' by Run DMC for Justin Trudeau
Cuddly Xi Jinping gets the theme tune to Winnie The Pooh and hopefully France's Emmanuel Macron will understand that his music has to be Van Halens 'Hot For Teacher', considering he was and he married her then the Queen Song 'Fat Bottomed Girls' for Germanys Angela Merkel.
'Money Ain't A Thang' by Jay-Z for Greece and Patsy Cline's 'Crazy' should do it for Hungary's Viktor Orbán and then i'll get ready 'Dem Haters' by Rihanna for Iran's Ebrahim Raisi.
Isaac Herzog of Israel follows Iran in so 'Nobody Likes You' by Green Day seems appropriate as does 'Climbing the walls' by They Might Be Giants for Mexico's Andrés Manuel López Obrador as it seems that's what most of his countrymen are doing on the border with America.
New Zealand's beautiful and fragrant Jacinda Ardern get's 'Everybody loves you now' from Billy Joel so the podium should smell nice for when Kim Jong -un arrives to 'Bring Your Own Bomb', if he turns up at all that is.
Palestine's Mahmoud Abbas is up next so it's got to be Guns 'n' Roses, 'Right next door to hell' and 'So Macho' for Russia and Vladimir Putin and as Saudi Arabian King and Prime Minister Salman bin Abdulaziz Al Saud will be celebrating his 86th Birthday soon, i wonder if he will understand the message behind another Billy Joel song 'Only the good die young'.
Syria's Bashar al-Assad will be whistling along to Gloria Gaynor's 'I will survive' as he enters the room although i'm not sure if Turkish President, Recep Tayyip Erdoğan, is a fan of R&B so 'Sorry For the Stupid Things' by Babyface might go over his head.
Bringing up the rear is the UK and the USA so for Boris 'Send in the Clowns' because he is only a squirty flower and a shiny red nose away from joining Billy Smarts Circus and last but not least is the President of the United States, Joe Biden, and looking at his stumbling ratings recently, 'Every day i love you less and less' by the Kaiser Chiefs or 'Wake Up Call' by Maroon 5 in case he has nodded off again, either of those are fine.
Right, with the lineup complete, me and my CD player are off to Glasgow. Cya there!
