Chumbawamba is one of my favorite bands - always political, always relevant and always quick and precise in expressing their opinions in hot-button issues. With a career spanning 25 years, it is a real shame most people know only one of their songs, Tubthumping (’I get knocked down / But I get up again / You’re never going to keep me down’). The release of this song was, in my humble opinion, the worst public relations move they could ever do because most people now think of them as a cool-fun-one-hit-wonder-band and most do not bother to listen to any of their other songs.
After previously discussing issues as diverse as cultural imperialism, sweatshops, Tony Blair, the war in Iraq and Paris Hilton, they posted a new song on their MySpace page - this one is about Web 2.0 culture, I guess. For your listening pleasure, here are the lyrics:
Chumbawamba - Add Me - lyrics
|
I’m a loner alone with neurosis and hate Anger is a permanent character trait My letter bombs are primed and they’re ready to send Would you like to add me as a friend? I’m a wound-up whiner with a fetish for guns Chorus: I’m a recovering alcoholic; I rarely leave my room, I really like to mail you the picture that I drew, Chorus Here’s a picture of me in my Nazi uniform I’ve added Britney, and Paris, and you and Tom, Chorus |
show some love

In this day and age of Trackbacks, Technorati and Google Alerts, I was already notified and had visited your page not ten minutes after its publishing.
I do appreciate the personal attention, though. You are a class act in a cold Web 2.0 world
