Now Coldplay Sound Like Everyone Else - Mitch Benn - The Now Show

[StezzerLolz]

And now the chorus gets all massive, what a big surprise...

I laughed myself silly...

WHAT THEY MIGHT BE GIANTS TRACK?!

I've heard this song somewhere before!

Genius, really. Wish I could see him live, but he never plays outside the UK...

@HappyFuriousMonkey this could be because it's deliberately meant to evoke the sound of "Viva La Vida" or whatever the Coldplay song was called. At easter 2008, he did a song about the people of the Philippines, who had been crucifying themselves, evocative of The Beatles song "The Ballad Of John & Yoko" (as Beatles no1 hits go, it's relatively "unknown"). Why this song? Because the chorus has the word "crucify" in the lyric. He's done plenty of other examples as well.

@HappyFuriousMonkey I think he's playing in the UAE at the moment
