Hed of the morning: Are we rolling?
I for one am disappointed that the BBC avoided the noun pileup. Verbless rewrites are welcome.

insect wang song top nature noise
Though GWTIH's entry is obviously superb as currently configured, one might create a few more opportunities for confusion (noun/verb ambiguity, intended sense of "bug," etc.) by making it "Bug dick rub top nature noise."
And what are those claim quotes doing around 'singing penis'? Is there any doubt? OK, maybe they're all right around 'singing' as we're-speaking-figuratively quotes.
