CB clue of the day

[joggerjayne]

Today, in place of the advertised "Daily Star Clue Of the Day"

... there's a clue in today's Guardian which was clearly set with CBers in mind ...

28d. Laughing out loud with a girl from Copacabana (4)

The answer, obviously, is "LOLA"

(LOL + A)

Her name was Lola
She was a showgirl
With yellow feathers in her hair
And a dress cut down to there
She would merengue and do the cha-cha
Etc, etc ...

Ladies and Gentlemen, I give you ...

... the CB clue of the day.

I thank you.

KnowsF ...

Laughing out loud with a girl from Copacabana

Laughing out loud = L O L

with "a" = A

So you have L O L + A

And a "girl from Copacabana" is "Lola"

(like in the song)

[joggerjayne]

Sorry, KnowsF ... ignore my last post.

And sorry about the song Chuck.

But the "LOL" aspect of the clue was too good to resist.
