Subject: Aussie Fans--Look Here
Hey. I've noticed recently that there are a lot of Australian fans
posting on the armchair. I've now decided to go through with an idea
of mine.
Are there any Australian BF5 Fan Clubs? I know there are BF5 Fan
Clubs, like this hallowed armchair, but are there any mainly
Australian ones? If there aren't any how many of you would be
interested if I started one up?

Subject: ben vs. reptar-- there can be only one.
Hot off the wires, folks. No shit.
Ben Folds, musician and sellout, will be producing one song for the upcoming
Godzilla soundtrack. Kids-- if you didn't think the man had sold his soul
before now, you need no more proof.
I heard it goes something like this:
You thought we were cool a while ago,
but now we're huge, and enjoyin' the show.
So here's a song we wrote for the cash,
we'll use it for beer, so we can get smashed.
Godzilla was never too cool when he was an egg,
and his friends all got expelled for cheating on their SATs.
So, he got all mad and destroyed the city.
He wasn't a beloved reptile any more.
(chorus) He's a brick and he's sinking slowly,
back into the sea whence he came.
We used to be cool, but now will ride this single,
all the way to half-assed fame.
Godzilla sat in his chair, dead to the world.
The beast had a girlfriend from the bagian bin.
She had told him she loved him, then left to go party.
And he was left to sit and kill Japanese Businessmen.
(chorus) We're doing this thing because Sony told us we should,
And the money is doing us quite well.
Robert's got a woman and Ben a hairpiece,
And Darren; he just got rid of the smell.
So the city was smashed and the lines were drawn.
Godzilla had withstood their attacks.
The day was ending, the fires were out,
He ate a Planned Parent hood and K-Mart for snacks.
(chorus) Our next CD's of Ben on the toilet,
And Darren with a bad cold.
Robert plays bass and harmonica,
while we all sniff coke and get stoned.
The song is ending now, Godzilla is back in the drink.
The repairs have begun, and the lights are restored.
The movie sucks, as you knew it would,
But if the money's right, we'll wirte the fuckin score.
aaah... that was nice to write. All lyrics by me, Dave-o.
With Kung-Fu Grip,
dave-o

Ok....well, while the song was creative "Dave-o", they aren't selling out.
Do you even like BF5? From the song it's hard to tell.

For everyone in the UK the video of Brick is on The Chart Show next week at
11.30am on Saturday. It is also on the Radio 1 "as featured" list after
Chris Moyles did a great job of playing it on the Breakfast Show. He also
played a meddley of BFF's hits and even gave away a lego piano to the
winner of the competition. It wont be overplayed here though.
See ya.
