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:
(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
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
