Its been a while, but the brain is baack. Googlewhack

Just randomly, a song started playing in my head. i knew the artist. i Knew the pitch, and the words. all of them. it had been 5 years since they were... id like to say cool...

Needless to say, that time had passed.
they were no longer all that high on my list of listens.

so i sat, i typed. i found...

the Artist, is The Streets. The Song, is Cant con an honest John
and the theory behind it is, if someone is dodgy, you can most likely
rip them off.

the part that amuses me is that, If asked about said song, or, a topic of said resemblance was brought up,
i would likely be able to spit lyric verbatim, albeit timely.

Anyways, the term was
'no not piers... lets call him farquaaa'
