In the song "
A Little Bird Told Me," Ken Clinger takes a CLICHÉ and (anagrammatically speaking) offers CHICLE for listeners to chew on. Anagrammatically furthermore, he transforms the OVERUSED into a SURE DOVE. He salvages INLAID OUTPUTS from the PLATITUDINOUS. The TIMEWORN has MERIT NOW. Clinger's song blows out of the water our previously favorite lyrics woven from clichés, Thompson Twin's "
Still Waters."
