A Sharper Variation On The Name Game

August 2nd, 2007 // 6 Comments

namegame.jpgA few years ago, I read something by critic Frank Kogan where he described a game he played with song and album titles. The rule was simple: simply add the words “with a butcher knife” to the end of whatever name comes up. A few nights ago, out with friends at a bar, we played the game and came up with a few great ones: He’s the DJ, I’m the Rapper With A Butcher Knife; Standing on the Verge of Getting It On with a Butcher Knife; Still Caught Up With A Butcher Knife; “Have You Seen Your Mother, Baby, Standing in the Shadow With A Butcher Knife?” Tell us–which ones did we miss? Your best efforts only, of course.
