[Tear gas is great]
I turned on the radio tonight while reading netnews to listen to my
friend Dave Hardy do his radio show ("Treats From The Whizzo") on WMBR.
And what am I accosted by, but a parody on a Kate Bush song with really
obnoxious lyrics. Dave claims he thought it was really sung by Kate
Bush, but it turns out to be sung by a comedy group called something
like "Not The Six O'Clock News". It is on an album called something
like "Hedgehog Sandwhich" which is the soundtrack for some BBC show
circa 1980.
What is the world coming to when even your friends hack you? :-)
I'm posting the lyrics (as accurately as I can from listening) to this
song as an appeasement to the Fun-People. Maybe, they'll find it
humorous enough, in their sick way, and stop hacking me.
OH ENGLAND MY LEOTARD
(To be sung roughly to the
tune of "Them Heavy People")
----------------------
I was into yin and yang and half of yoga
Ginsing and carroway seeds and being a non-smoker
My carrot quiches were better than the board's were
And they were thicker than two short ones
People bought my latest hits cause they like my latex tits
Everyone is trying hard to get inside my leotard
Went to my hairdresser to have a hairdo
He asked if I him knew an aresh aresh tomp pare hairdo
That's how I was introduced to Gollette, Coctau, and Marcel Brust
Now whole food cookery is just a sideline
La la la la la ...
I went to Cairo and I read the Gnostic
A corporate form of joining the original cop-boutique ah
Cause I cuff psychosis berries
And a fibonacci series
Studied acupuncture and the bible
Opened the windows in my mind
"It's not your mind -- it's your body they're into"
My business manager said
He said I need an intellect like I need a
Whole in the, whole in the, whole in the head
Though I'm an honorary member of Mensa now
I'm going to try and keep up the pretense some how
Would you buy my latest hits because you like my latex tits
And you're all trying hard to get inside my
[...Music changes to "Violin"...]
Leotard, leotard, leotard
Boy do they have a vicious sense of humor in England! Also, the line
about being a non-smoker is untrue, because unfortunately Kate Bush
smokes. Oh well. Nobody's perfect.

Come on now, I wasn't *really* hacking you. It was a great way however to
find out whether you were listening. Anyway, I've even started LISTENING
to (and enjoying, although I'm a far way from either a "Bushie" or a
"Lionheart") Kate Bush, so now that you have another convert, you can start
working on the rest of the masses. :-)
