How Fucking British Leyland beige Is Barlow to write a song about his lost cat that he had since found. I bet the cunt has a couple of bangers about scots porridge oats up his sleeve. Waste of skin, even for a Manc.

Don't worry, I once managed to convince someone that 'Get Lucky' by Daft Punk was really about the Tunisian Revolution. Which tbh actually improves the record if you imagine that it's true.

[Dr Rock]

Both Madonna and Kylie have released half a million songs, but I don't think either of them have ever done this. Everyone else has. Dear Jessie is close but it's not right.
