The Police’s So Lonely becomes Sue Lawley, ABBA’s Chiquitita becomes Take Your Teeth Out, Chaka Khan’s I’m Every Woman becomes I’m Terry Wogan
and more recently NSYNC’s It’s Gonna Be Me becomes It’s Gonna Be May.
Many of these are well known – I’ve often heard them referenced on various radio shows.
