Dan Bull - Rhyme of the Times (11th - 17th March 2010)

Just a very quick challenge to test my turnaround doing a track about current news events. If you guys like this I might do more.

Lyrics:

So Boyzone plan to play without Gately
So what? Other bands do the same daily
I ought to mind what I say or I'll have to call a lawyer
'Cause when annoyed fans of boy bands are coming for you
it's a tad worrying, especially for Jan Moir
Jon Venables has been a very bad boy again
he was meant to be a friendly
decent fellow with a fresh idendity
Let me see, it's a bit tricky, rehabilitation
when you're the most reviled child killer in the nation
'Cause when you're famous for that it's hard to chat to neighbours
about the past or how crap your day was
Looks like it's not just us that's had to pay the cost
And speaking of creepy boys, Jedward have just been dropped
Hillary Clinton's been venting on the phone
to the Israelis about the extension on their home
Now I don't claim to know the ins and outs of it
and I realise the sensitivity needed since Auschwitz
but I'm a bit thick so tell me this:
Why do two disciples of the same man, Abraham
find it harder to get on than a unicycle?
I've rifled through the Bible, the Torah and the Koran
I challenge you to find it where it orders you
to build a giant wall drop, white phosphorous
or fire rockets across to stop the Zionist rule
It's the kind of stupid rivalry fools do in primary schools
due to undeveloped pituitaries and tiny balls
I find it all quite baffling
like the fact the British Airways
cabin crews would plan to pack it in while back in Britain
'Cause if that was me I wouldn't go on strike
until the plane had landed in a place I quite like
Or just find a new job if I was that adamant
Apparently Hull City are after new managament
Beckham's torn a ligament, it's typical isn't it?
At his age he should have been a little bit more vigilant
But the real issue is will he heal?
'Cause if he doesn't that'll be the team's Achilles' heel
We've been delivered a curveball before
But this isn't the sort of Sport Relief we're looking for
Before we choose who runs the whole country, look:
Eddie Izzard can run the whole country on foot
So if you're interested in assisting in your own way
Go to the Sport Relief homepage and donate

[douglby]

@Thr89ust Cheers, yeah I need to work on making sure every line is relevant and meaningful. Keep checking back :)

[ScientologyPhishing]

awesome man, how bout a video on scientology and the australian pm's decision not to do a senate enquiry despite overhwhelming evidence! It's front page news over here consistantly... check out this -> watch?v=1A4l-GItmxY and then perhaps this from today watch?v=lyOZKD0PZCM - if you did i would be pimping that track to the max as would all of anon.

[douglby]

@ScientologyPhishing I have been thinking about doing a Scientology vid but so much has already been said on it... I'd want to be able to bring a fresh angle

[iwillbeatyoudown1]

u got tons of fan i maine so keep up the good work

[peruboy42]

U sir, are amazing, cause u make regular speech into raps! Who does that?

[Agitabodie]

@douglby ur responded on making a sciontology video a year ago but id really like to see it to =)

[jakcwb]

@Israelpwn Of course I'm not blaming the Jews for it, I'm saying that if it wasn't through religion then there wouldn't be so much hatred in this world. I'm blaming Hitler for WW2 and his hatred for the religion, but that is my point, religion has caused many arguments, take this on for example. Fair enough some religions have there advantages i.e Buddhism but that's as far it goes.

Fair enough, and sorry no I never realised. But so I am if you never noticed lol

[Israelpwn]

@jakcwb

Not really, and I truly hope you're trolling about WW2. It sounds as if you're saying that it was there fault in the beginning for being Jews rather than the murderous scum killing them off.

As for Israel, it has some religious base in it, but really it's hatred from the Arab side (to Jews) and Jewish demand for a homeland. Religion is used as a catalyst in some parties, but plays no role for me.

In case you didn't figure it out, I'm atheist

[jakcwb]

@Israelpwn hold on doesn't it originate from religion? Isn't that the case for most wars? Take the WW2 for example, if there was no such thing as "religion" then Hitler would not of killed all those innocent Jews!

I know this might annoy you, but we're all welcome to free speech right? Personally, religion is a brain wash!

[Israelpwn]

@jakcwb

The wrong assumption there is that it's not a religious war..

[straydisciple]

cool stuff dan. you got a fan here in canada. would love to do a collabo with you if i had better equipment.

[junkmonkeyramm2]
