"What on earth are you doing, Mike?" Paul asked.
"I'm trying to do Macbeth!" Mike replied.
"Well what does his wife have to say about that?" Paul joked. Mike scowled.
"Oh, ha ha, very funny," he replied sarcastically. "I wish you were distinguished like what I am," he joked. Paul burst out laughing.
"Hubble bubble toil and trouble!" he sang. Manfred came into the room, astounded.
"Sing that again!" he pleaded. Paul looked at him like he was a bit mad.
"What?" he asked.
"Sing what you just sang just then!" Manfred pleaded. "It's really hip. We could make it into a song!"
"But you can't muck about with Shakespeare, Manfred!" Mike protested.
"Why not?" Manfred asked.
"Because we're English!" Paul told him. "Nope, we leave Shakespeare where he is. Dead."
"Please, just trust me on this, we could make such a cool song out of it!" Manfred assured him. "We can get Tom and Mike Hugg to help us."
"Well, all right. Hubble bubble toil and trouble!" Paul sang, just as he'd sung a minute ago.
"That's fantastic!" Manfred told him. Soon both Tom and Mike Hugg had heard it and they agreed that it was a great tune. They carried on writing a song and eventually they came up with this offering:
Hubble bubble toil and trouble
Hubble bubble toil and trouble
Drivin' down the street just the other day
I saw this real fine girl & stopped & said "You're goin' my way?"
She said, "Thanks for the ride, but before I get inside
There's just one thing that I wanna say"
Hubble bubble toil and trouble
Hubble bubble toil and trouble
I drove to her house & dropped her by the gate
I thought, I know her, all right, so I asked for a date
She said "Meet me at 9, & you'd better be on time
'Cause I'll hubble you to death if you show up late"
Hubble bubble toil and trouble
Hubble bubble toil and trouble
What in the world is wrong with this chick now? (now now)
Somebody tell me, what makes her tick now? (now now)
Some chicks do you wrong, but this one wrongs you doubly
I never saw a girl who was so *whispers*hubbly bubbly!
Hubble bubble toil and trouble
Hubble bubble toil and trouble
Hubble bubble toil and trouble
Hubble bubble toil and trouble
So, there you go, the inspiration for Hubble Bubble (Toil and Trouble) was all down to Mike Vickers wanting to be an actor!
