Editing Rhyming slang (section)

=== Music ===
In popular music, [[Spike Jones]] and his City Slickers recorded "So 'Elp Me", based on rhyming slang<!-- (without the hemiteleia)-->, in 1950.  The 1967 [[Kinks]] song "Harry Rag" was based on the usage of the name [[Harry Wragg]] as rhyming slang for "fag" (i.e. a [[cigarette]]). The idiom made a brief appearance in the UK-based DJ reggae music of the 1980s in the hit "Cockney Translation" by [[Smiley Culture]] of [[South London]]; this was followed a couple of years later by Domenick and Peter Metro's "Cockney and Yardie". London-based artists such as [[Audio Bullys]] and [[Chas & Dave]] (and others from elsewhere in the UK, such as [[The Streets]], who are from Birmingham) frequently use rhyming slang in their songs.

British-born M.C. [[MF Doom]] released an ode entitled "Rhymin' Slang", after settling in the UK in 2010. The track was released on the 2012 [[JJ Doom]] album ''[[Key to the Kuffs]]''.

Another contributor was [[Lonnie Donegan]] who had a song called "My Old Man's a Dustman".  In it he says his father has trouble putting on his boots "He's got such a job to pull them up that he calls them daisy roots".<ref>{{cite web |title=My Old Man's a Dustman |url=https://genius.com/Lonnie-donegan-my-old-mans-a-dustman-lyrics |website=Genius Lyrics |access-date=8 August 2020}}</ref>
