The Tender Trap

A TENDER MOMENT: CHIP borrows the title from a 1955 movie (starring Frank Sinatra and Debbie Reynolds) to record the moment that City Press exposed Julius Malema's tender profits. In the movie, Sinatra sings the theme song 'The Tender Trap'; whose lyrics include: "You're hooked, you're cooked, you're caught in the tender trap" and "you wonder how it all came about, it's too late now, there's no gettin' out".
