Default Bunga-Bunga over at Everse

http://www.everseradio.com/bunga-bunga-by-quincy-lehr/

I'm hardly systematic about noting my accomplishments (such as they are) over here, but this poem received a lot of helpful attention from Sphereans. Thanks.

I remember Bunga-Bunga. It's good to see it again.

Cool poem, Quincy -- cool presentation too.
Have you checked that Silvio hasn't copyrighted the term?

He did, Adam. It's engraved already on his pharaonic funeral monument:

Questa bunga bunga
è quella lunga lunga.
(Not grammatical but the best I could do.)

Congrats, Quincy, on putting the term to good satirical use and placing the poem. And good on Ernie for giving it air time.

Wicked! I remember it because I was so wishing I had written it. Felicitations on the placement, but moreso on the direction your
always interesting work is tending.

Congratulations, Quincy.

I think you're okay on the intellectual property rights for the phrase "bunga bunga". Berlusconi got it from Moammar Qaddafi, who has more urgent concerns at this time.
