Did you know that if you crossed the current Polish president with the current Polish prime minister, the hybrid name, in English, would be "Donald Duck"!?

Yep, makes me smile.
The president is Lech Kaczinski, the surname being a variation on 'kaczka', which is 'duck'. The prime minister is Donald Tusk.

When I was a kid I used to love that song, and in many ways still do ... however it takes on a completely different aspect when you realise that it's all about heroin :o

Never a frown........a very misleading lyric, that one! A great song though - intruiging rhythms.
