This is something we used to try to do with fake tabloid headlines for Viz. Think my bro’s got one in the last issue, about Barry Gibb, where every word is a lame pun or rhyme, to the point that it breaks down into gibberish.
I remember extreme toe curling as we attempted to shoehorn a story into the headline "Ice to See U2 See Eu n'Ice" (Ice T goes with the band U2 to watch a boxing match between Chris Eubank and Vanilla Ice)
Would it work better the other way around, since the emphasis is on the final syllable on ‘intense’ but an earlier syllable in ‘marquee’? Do syllables matter like that?
Doctor Doctor, I’m Mark E Smith singing Wig Wag Bam.
Relax, you’re too intense…musical references.
Hmm. Overdetermined like Grant Mitchell announcing “Phil, you’re my bruvva and we’ve had our ups and downs and that time we fought for Sharon, but I love ya…”

So it’s either great value, or hard work, or both.
With enough bored middle aged people on BlueSky, I think we might just do it.
