    Gustav was a real weirdo. He played music to make women put on their clothes.

    Carol just wished that Gustav would stop fiddling around and come to bed already.

    I was mistaken; you can go wrong with sex and violins!

    Once again Kevin got so wrapped up in his violins he forgot about the sex.

    I don’t get it: there seems tom be some sort of disjuncture in this painting – the guy is playing violin while the woman appears to have just applied foot fungus ointment.

    All wordplay aside, this is a peculiar setting for a painting. Fully dressed in background playing violin, woman apparently getting dressed on the kitchen table. Not your typical date night.

    Some people like to smoke after sex, Ivan was always inspired to play his violin. It was in this very moment he wrote his hit tune “You can leave your corset on!”

    Part of the cost of going to this acupuncturist was listening to his (awful) violin playing.

    The lady is sex on the hoof/ yet the fiddler is clearly aloof/ it’s a criminal waste/ and not to my taste/ send the fiddler back up to the roof.

    One gets the distinct impression/ it’s the end of a modeling session/ but the chap with the fiddle/ is a bit of a riddle:/ is he crucial, or just a digression?

    The Stripper’s Bump And Grind song wasn’t very provocative when played on the violin.

    Tom was really into S&M, it was the tenth time he played “Pop Goes The Weasel” Louder and louder, faster and faster, he refused to hear her cries of the safe word.

    In spite of his bowing and scraping, Olga couldn’t shake the notion that Sven was just stringing her along; sort of too much fiddle and not enough “hey-diddle-diddle.”

    In The Faerie Queene (VI.×.10-18), when the poet’s alter ego is heard playing bagpipes for his sweetheart on a sunny hill, the three Graces are so delighted at the sound that they appear and bring a further hundred naked maidens with them, to dance in circles around her. Maybe the fiddler here is hoping to achieve a similar effect!

    Gerald had explained to her that he needed the violin playing to calm down from their session. But she noted how “glad he was to see her” and wished he would think of another way to relax.
