...or that Bush is detritus to the gene pool.

Do you see what I've done there. I've taken your deliterious and turned it into another word, making it funnier than ever before! I am a genius and I feel that this entire post should be read in an Avid Merrion-esque voice

Liam .

Damn the 21st post!

Liam.

Having a good day are we Spanki??

You leave that deliterious alone you bad man. That's my one and only big word for the day, and using it means that that post was actually me working and not just pissing about ion the internet...So Leave It ALONE

I think the entire post should be read in an Ardal O'Hanlon-esque voice.

Is there going to be a war then, Ted?

*tumbleweed*

Er.... the new Liberty X single is a Human League cover!

Well, almost. They're covering "Ain't Nobody" while somebody else covers the League's "Being Boiled" in the background. Hence it's called "Being Nobody". Not as good as the bootleg mix "Being Scrubbed" which sticks the vocals from TLC's "No Scrubs" over the real League's "Being Boiled".

Can we have a smiley please?

Run that by me again, EV?

Which bit?

In the begining was the word...

Oh dear.

Right. Well. Liberty X have covered the old Chaka Khan hit "Ain't Nobody", but backing track of their version is a cover version of the old Human League hit "Being Boiled". Hence "Being Nobody". Are you with me so far?

With ya so far EV (I kne Chaka Khan's ex brother in law, by the way)

Right. We'll come back to that in a minute.

Some clever person, however, did a bootleg mix last year, which lifted the vocal track from TLC's hit "No Scrubs" and laid it on top of the backing track from the Human League's original version of "Being Boiled", calling it "Being Scrubbed". What Liberty X have done is much the same, but without the copyright problems. D'you see? D'you see?

But, but, but, but....
















Which is best?

Well, personally I've always favoured the League's 1980 re-recording of "Being Boiled" from the "Holiday '80" double-single.

I've said too much. So, what's this about Chaka Khan's brother in law?

I think he might be ex-brother in law now...name of Howard McCrary (sang at the Birmingham Jazz Festival for a few years when I was part of the ol' voluntary) - too nice for his own good, he'd turn up an hour late for gigs because he'd stop and chat to people he'd never met before whilst walking through the city on hiw way...good singer too, made all the ladies swoon
