Disproving the Thompson Hypothesis

Post by Lah Ca »

I mended another broken record today using CurtA's Weldbond glue method.

Ref: viewtopic.php?f=7&t=8860&hilit=broken+record

The work got me thinking about how wrong the Thompson Hypothesis is. Go ahead and sit on those Jimmy Shands. The sticky tape won't work, but the glue will. (But then to be honest I haven't really tested the Weldbond glue method with any Beltona records.)

[Verse 1]
When the party hit full swing
I saw you come reeling in
You had that six pack in a stranglehold
Now you stagger, now you sway
Why don't you fall the other way?
'Cause I've got something here worth more than gold

[Chorus]
I said don't sit on my Jimmy Shands
Don't sit on my Jimmy Shands
They don't mend with sticky tape and glue
Don't sit on my Jimmy Shands
Don't sit on my Jimmy Shands
And that's my very best advice to you

[Verse 2]
Call me precious I don't mind
78s are hard to find
You just can't get the shellac since the war
This one's the Beltona brand
Finest label in the land
They don't make them like that any more

[Chorus]
I said don't sit on my Jimmy Shands
Don't sit on my Jimmy Shands
Unless you want to wind up black and blue
Don't sit on my Jimmy Shands
Don't sit on my Jimmy Shands
And that's my very best advice to you
