In that song, the meaning is not at all ambiguous. I really hate when people don't finish sentences in the way you describe. Such as, "That is really beginning to bug." I think I first encountered this bastardized grammar when watching "Buffy, the Vampire Slayer." The main character would often speak in such truncated phrases. It really bugged. (me) When I hear people in the real world do it I can't help but surmise that they think it sounds cool. It doesn't, it sounds stoopid. And that's all I have to say about that.

I haven't heard "Jabba on the Dais," but I think I still have "Eat Me I'm a Danish," on a cassette I recorded from a morning radio show in the 1980's. If you're dirty pig for thinking that would be funny, then so am I. Simon - I can’t believe I overlooked that one.

Which made me think of the delightful send-up of the same song: "Jabba on the Dais." EVERYTHING, eventually, devolves back to Star Wars at some point. Oh, and it's a good thing that your co-worker didn't mention that she had an overabundance of strepto<i>coccus</i> in her throat; that may have garnered a few odd looks. Or maybe I'm just a dirty pig. On first seeing the post title, I automatically added the finisher, “…Amadeus!”
