It took a whole month before I was able to reduce 10cc´s "How dare you" to some workable bottom line. In this case it was that there were a lot of connections in the lyrics involving puns and unlikely word associations. As soon as I said that to Peter he suggested telephones (because they connect, of course) and we both immediately thought of that old film thing of split-screen phone conversations.

Some reviewers have compared 10cc's songwriters with Bjorn and Benny from Abba, but I beg to differ: I already had the vinyl in my possession in the seventies so I think I'm entitled to give my review on this one. And it's funny that in 30 repertoire itself.
