"TWISTED TITLES"
ON Tuesday nights there is heard from 4ZB a novel competition-programme known as "Twisted Titles," which is very well supported by listeners. The first thing required is that contestants should be able to give the correct titles of four recordings which are played. That part generally proves easy, for these selections are invariably from among the best-known tunes available. From that starting point, however, a fertile imagination is essential to success. The four titles must be joined together in any order "to give a good, readable sentence, using no more than two words between each title. Some of the winning entries have been extremely funny -aided, no doubt, by the fact that it is permissible to add a fifth record title of one’s own choosing.
