"Phil Spectored"

Or, as the court put it, 19 years in prison

A 1965 version of "A simple desultory philippic" (you do know it's a song and not just the title of a funny blog, right?) featured names of other famous personalities, including Indian politician Krishna Menon (rhymed nicely with "John Lennon"). Link goes to the original folksy, jangly version of the song on YT.

Ooh la la, Phil Spector....

For Spector, that "ooh la la" would have to be backed by a thousand violins, a chorus of 50 backup singers and a few grand pianos. That's the Wall of Sound :)
