At last! This blog has what it’s always been missing – a theme tune.
The song concerned is ‘Add Me‘, from Chumbawamba‘s new album. (It’s also available for streaming, appropriately enough, on their MySpace page.) You should give it a listen – it’s genuinely funny, and if you only know the band for ‘Tubthumping’ (“I get knocked down but I get up again, you’re never going to keep me down” etc) it’ll probably seem like a bit of a musical departure too.
But if you can’t be bothered listening to it, these are some choice excerpts from the lyrics:
I’m a recovering alcoholic, I rarely leave my room,
Peeping through the curtains in my dark costume.
The voices in my head, doc, they’ll get me in the end –
Would you like to add me as a friend?
And:
I don’t like people, but I like to pretend –
Would you like to add me as a friend?
Just brilliant.
