Big
Ben gave London's tourists a memorable show last night by
bonging hits from the shows before going silent for essential
maintenance.
The
bonged tunes such as 'Don't Cry For Me Argentina', 'Grease',
'Phantom of the Opera' and chart hits such as 'Lady Lumps'
and 'Crazee Frog' filled the London air.
An
American tourist told this website:
"The
melancolly chimes of Big Ben gave the solemnity of Don't
Cry For Me Argentina a sonorous quality that moved me
and the wife to tears. Our tears were only eased by the
passing of a Pearly King and Queen singing Any Old Iron."
Tourists
from Argentina criticized the show:
"Maybe
I'm going tone deaf, but it sounded to me like Big Ben
was only bonging on one note. It got quite monotonous
at times, a few police sirens would have helped."
But
Music and Bong Critic from London' s free Metro newspaper
told us:
"I
would expect the Argentinians to criticize the show, the
Peron years are still a touchy subject. But, on the whole,
yes, I agree, it was completely awful, horrible really.
Sometimes you can say, well it's something different and
they made the effort, but in this case I say never ever
again."
