Randy is pronounced as if it were Randall's nickname. "Scouse" is
pronounced "scoo" as in "Scooby-Doo where are you?", then just put an S
at the end of it - as if you were doing a real bad Italian impression -
"Essscoos me, passa the pasta, pleasza". "Git" is pronounced with a
hard G, and rhymes with "fit".

Try pronouncing Scouse as "S-cow-s" (with the cow just like the
animal) and you've got it!
(Hey Lisa (as in Murphy) this doesn't work for you cos you say "coo"
<g> <- just a little joke, not meant nastily or anything!)
Although if you want to say it the way the TV character it came from
said it then its - "Skarse" - cos he was a cockney!

It's just a phrase that Micky heard on television when he was in England
writing the song. I believe he heard it on "Stepford and Son" which was the
British precursor to America's "Sanford and Son". Randy Scouse Git means
"horny, Liverpudlian idiot". Micky liked the way it sounded and used it as
the title. Perhaps, as he had just met Samantha, he was feeling quite that
way at the time.

Nothing...Micky heard it while in England, on the program "Til Death Do Us
Part", which was later the influence for "All in the Family". The Archie
Bunker-character on that show called his son-in-law a randy scouse git.
Micky thought it sounded funny, so he used it for a song title. He didn't
know at the time that he in essence titled his song "Horny Twit ***hole"!

Hey there!
The TV show was "Till Death Do Us Part" the character was Alf Garnett,
who inspired the US TV character Archie Bunker. The phrase was how he
addressed his son-in-law played by Tony Booth (the father-in-law of
our Prime Minister! - neat uh?!)
"Git" is a contraction of "illigitimate" and used in the same context
as the "b" word! <g> Hence the fact it had an "Alternate Title" over
here! <giggle!>

THAT'S the show, not Stepford and Son! I knew there was something wrong with

Which is why, in the UK it was called "Alternate Title".

It does, but the to be honest the word has been softened over time and
isn't as harsh (or as naughty <g>) as it once was!

What eppy did Davy say it in? I used it in front of my mum once and she said,

I don't think that's an accuarte translation per se. Davy uses it
in...........<wracks her brain for the ep title>......Monkees In The
Ring (?) He says something about Peter leaving a trail of bloody
pistachio shells across the city.
Micky's used it in interviews too (and a much harsher word too, but
that was accidental) which makes me laugh because it sounds odd in a

Howdy,
I think you're thinking of "Steptoe and Son", which featured
the "grandfather" actor in "A Hard Day's Night"...It was later made
as "Sanford and Son" here in the US.
"Stepford" was the movie about "The Stepford Wives"...

randy
souses
git
quartz
term for people from Liverpool!! Scouse meaning someone from liverpool, I
believe. A git is an idiot, and randy well thats kinda explanatory to me,
but to other I guess it means 'over sexed' perhaps is a way of putting it.

reading One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest, and the main character, "Randle
Patrick McMurphy" is described as a sex maniac, and since Randy is Randy
Scouse Git means what you were describing, then perhaps the author used
Randle as the main characters names due to the English slang of the time
(the book was written in the sixties).

In my Social Studies class we were learning about Henry VIII (and I got up and
sang Henry VIII in front of my class but that's a diffrent story) and there was
an excessive use of the word "bartard" during the time (having to do with his
marrages and annulment and that making his childern bastards, meaning born to
parents who were never married) and we had to write news reports. Well, these
two boys, within their news reports just kept calling each other "bastards" and
trying to make it funny, one boy said, "Hey, quit making fun of my dad that
way." No, it wasn't funny...not very at least.
But then in English we got to read The Catcher in the Rye...talk about language

Before anybody criticizes Micky for "Randy Scouse Git," keep in mind
that he heard this phrase on British TV, without any clue as what it
truly meant at that time (being an American himself, he never heard
certain British slang terms). He thought it sounded really unusual, so
he used it as the title of the sound that he wrote when he met Sammy.
Who knows, maybe there are some American slang terms that are not
familiar to our British counterparts, so one cannot condemn anyone for
an innocent mistake.
JMHO,

It's kinda funny cause the kids at school cuss a lot but they don't like
saying the word sex or bastard in class when it is in a passage of a book we
are reading aloud and they refuse to talk about a love scene in a book when we
are in English class. And there is no big deal for them to be afrain of getting

Okay, your geography lesson for the day....."Yanks" is British slang for
Americans. Hence the song "Yankee Doodle Dandy", which was written to mock the
people who left England for the "Colonies".
"Yankee" is a term Southerners gave to the Northerners, around the time of the
Civil War.
"Damn Yankee" is a term used by us Texans to describe anyone north of the Red
River, west of the Rio Grande, or east of the Sabine. It also applies anytime
we see a car with out of state plates heading our way with a U-Haul <veg>

I'm from the DC/Northern Virginia suburbs. We're "southern" to the
northerners, but the South doesn't want to claim us either! Does that make me
a bigger "nothing" than you? ;^)

Damn Yankees was also a rock group with Ted Nugent and some others. I can't
remember the rest of the guys, but I liked their songs.
I guess they got their name when they drove through Leisa's neck of the
woods, huh?

the DC burbs, and live out in Winchester, which puts me officially in the
"DC/Baltimore area", (I am equidistant from the two) or in the "four-state
area" but unofficially out in the sticks. We have this weird combination of
hicks/other country folk and city/commuter folk. <shudder> Strange but
true. . .

When we were living in Toronto, someone asked if I was from "the States".
When I asked how she knew, she told me that she recognized that I had a
"southern accent".
I'm from Pittsburgh, which is only 300 miles from Toronto! And I'm sure it
would be many fewer miles going "due south".
