We've said this for two years now, predicting that he would go to the top very shortly, and Jimmy has saved our face by breaking every record in sight with the most disgusting regularity for the past nine months.

Our keyboard Casanova is just in the act of kissing his pretty protege when the raised piano-top, behind which they are hiding, expresses its disapproval by solidly falling on the heads of the two lovers. At the sound of the crash, an irate father rushes upon the scene and sternly reprimands his daughter for her licentious behaviour.
