Now That I Own The ABC

Many regular GrodsCorp readers will be aware of PRODOS’s homage to privatising the ABC, named, ingeniously, Privatize (sic) The ABC. The website (really just another vehicle for PRODOS to make some cash off merchandise of dubious quality) features the song and it’s lyrics. That’s it. I was expecting some kind of detailed strategy to sell off the ABC, but trust PRODOS to leave the actual problems of selling off the ABC to someone else. In the magical world of PRODOS, all you really need for your dreams to come true is a song in your heart, and a house left to you by your parents.

Unfortunately, the American band Sparks beat PRODOS to the punch, releasing their ode to the privatisation of the ABC back in 2001. The song is called Now That I Own The ABC and is quite a rarity, as it was released only on the Australian edition of their album Balls and as a promo single. The song actually received fairly substantial airplay on Triple J, no doubt due to the satirical nature of the lyrics.

So, click here to find out how to write a real song about the privatisation of the ABC.

Easily offended? Go away.

I have created a third song, which may interest followers of Alan Jones. I used his bootleg tapes to create a track full of clap along fun.

Download FUCK IT.

Warning: Not for the easily offended!

I remember reading somewhere that after winning the Adelaide test the Australian team partied into the wee hours in the hotel bar. At some point during the night Shane Warne ducked up to his room and retrieved his iPod to drop some funky beats for the party’s sake.

This begs the obvious (and slightly disturbing) question: What’s on Shane Warne’s iPod?

Let’s try and put together his playlist in comments.
