a parody of "The Things We Do For Love" by 10CC
I got the idea for this parody about a year or so ago when I was listening to the original song when it was played on the radio. I have watched many episodes of Intervention over the years and I think that this parody really relates to that show.

Real Places Mentioned in Songs:
"From Rochdale to Ocho Rio"
The Lyrics: From Rochdale to Ocho Rios
From Ocho Rios to Dorking From Dorking it's back to Rochdale From Rochdale to Ocho Rios You spend half your life in transit But where are we now? Why: Full circle. As if the trip from Rochdale (Greater Manchester) to Dorking (Surrey) v.v. isn't long enough, it really is a long haul travelling between those three places as Ocho Rios is in the north of Jamaica.
Submitted by: James Joyce
| "Tokyo"
The Lyrics: Transistorised and anodised
Chrome plated, squeaky clean Oh Tokyo, oh Tokyo Oh Tokyo I love you You're trembling, you're choking But you're magical to me Why: Lyrics and music in fact form a contrast. The words refer to the modernity of the city with its dense population ('you're choking') and its bullet trains and what have you, while the music has that sound of oriental mystique.

Songs That Are Banned:
"Rubber Bullets"
Briefly banned by the BBC in 1973 due to several incidents involving overzealous police and the ammunition mentioned in the title. The song rocketed to number one regardless, possibly because it was about a riot in an American prison and not The Troubles.
