back to article Swedes mash Japanese pop pineapple

We're obliged to all of you who follow El Reg's world-beating improbable Swedish news for pointing us in the direction of the shock case of the Japanese pop pineapple who was over the weekend beaten and relieved of 20,000 kronor (£1,680-ish or ¥252,167) worth of camera kit.

    I know it's Monday morning so ...

    ...that's probably why I didn't understand a single word of that.

    WTF is a pop pineapple?

    The Rupert Holmes song is in fact called "Escape (The Pina Collada Song)".

    And yes, it's as awful as you remember it.

    Quick explanation of those song titles from an ex-pat living in Sweden...

    My Favourite Tofflor - (Tofflor is Swedish for slippers so 'My Favourite Slippers')

    Suddenly Sibylla - (Sibylla is a famous chain of hot dog stands)

    Ramlösa - (Ramlösa is a popular brand of mineral water)

    ....I'll get my coat

    To the left, to the right...

    AAAAA-GAAAAA-DOO DOO DOO! Push pineapple, shake the tree...

    Geez, you people at The Reg are slipping. This was a perfect story to break out that old Black Lace song.

    Paris... because she'd look pretty darn hot in black lace.

    the reason none of those " you're slipping" related remarks were made is obvo... black helicopters are investigating, questions are being advanced to the locals , and the usual suspects have been half-inched all round.

    mustn't appear too knowledgeable you know. bad for business , that.
