Ladies and gentlemen, before we begin tonight's presentation I give to you one of the greatest Aussie bands EVER:
Midnight Oil!
Yes, the Oils with "Read About It"
Remember the days? Play it right through, go on. Love that driving beat, the anger, the passion. True blue Oils. Shame he didn't stick to what he did best, but that's a whole other blog topic.
Now I can hear you all muttering away there:
Now I can hear you all muttering away there:
(though your heads are still bobbing to the steady beat as the song replays again and again in your head),
what on earth does this have to do with the
Well, I'm about to tell you.
For this challenge I have decided to do something a little off centre. I could have explained in great detail the comfort foods I turn to for consolation when life throws me more curve balls than I can handle. The love affair with pizza after a bad day at work, the satisfying nights with crispy bacon and homemade chips cooked by a man who loved me and only wished to take away my sorrow about the men who didn't. I could. But I won't.
Instead I give to you, sung to the tune of Read About It
Oh, and you could always download the song, hit play
and keep it running in the background whilst you sing. I have!
Eat It All Out
Pepperoni pizza, dripping cheese the feature
Cholesterol will hit ya when you’re older dear
Some like fine dining, others prefer wining
For beer I am pining till my order’s here
Comfort food is greasy, digestion is so easy
In the morning I’ll be queasy, hope the bathroom’s near
Bowel motions nasty, face will be pasty
Depression will be all gone and the head will clear
and the head will clear
You better eat it all out, eat it all out
Just another consolation binge, trying to forget him.
Cheeseburger men are fickle, kept throwing out the pickle
He sure knew how to tickle though he was so dumb
Just give me the large chips, you know some men are such pricks
Thank God I ended this bit while I am still young
Yes, I’ll have the bacon, is it crispy you’ll be makin’
My hunger I ain’t faking, crap I burnt my tongue
My tummy’s feeling nasty, need alka seltzer fast here
Depression soon forgotten and the headache's gone
and the headache's gone
and the headache's gone
You better eat it all out, eat it all out
Food will always help you heal, come on put it all out
You better eat it all out, eat it all out
Fritters are a glorious meal, come on pig it all out
Pepperoni pizza, hot dripping cheese the feature
Cholesterol will hit ya when you’re older dear
My stomachs really whining, others will be dining
For beer I am still pining, oh my order’s here
Ooooh Ooooh Ooooh Ooooooooohohoho
Ooooh Ooooh Ooooh Ooooooooohohoho
Ooooooooohohoho
Ooooh Ooooh Ooooh Ooooooooohohoho
Ooooooooohohoho

That is so freakin' brilliant that my smile not only went from ear to ear - I think each side met at the back of my head {scary imagery non?}
Now I feel like peperoni pizza instead of the sushi I was planning!
hahahaha so clever!!! Well done!! I WANT PIZZA now too - thanks to you and the minister for environment !!
You totally have my vote. You nearly lost me at the whole Midnight Oil thing (I like to keep my politics and my music separate), but you hooked me back in with style!
I just felt my arteries harden while I was reading this.
I love how you twist the challenges to fit you rather than the other way around. You always make me smile, laugh out loud or on occasion, cry. I love your style.
Singing, people SINGING this! The whole idea is to download and then sing the new version at the top of your lungs! Yeah, you'll get strange looks from your family and friends, and maybe even random strangers, but you lose the effect otherwise.
Listen to Madmother peoples...
Love, love, love it - best entry I have seen so far. Hugs from Perth xxx
That is bloody hilarious! We were singing along to The Oils the other day - my husband's favourite band - and I felt like a real bogan. Now, I still feel like a bogan but at least I'm not alone...
LOL.. You tripper I LURVE IT!

Sadly link no longer works, but the song is now on mixpod for a limited time!
Hahahahaha!!! Love it. OMG. Pepperoni pizza is my all time favourite food. I blogged about it on my Vegas adventures last week. Now my stupid foot is tapping and my mouth is watering in a big way. I want some New York style pepperoni pizza NOOOWWWWW. NOW!!!! (Saliva about to drop on floor in true Labrador style ... )
Comfort food is greasy, digestion is so easy
In the morning I’ll be queasy, hope the bathroom’s near
I'm an Oils fan from way back... and a fan of pizza too! Very clever. :-) Makes me hungry already.
