Adam:
|
Tripod's new CD, the release has been put back a week. It's been shrouded in controversy, Wil - what's going on?
|
|
Wil:
|
It's been recalled.
|
|
Adam:
|
Oh!
|
|
Wil:
|
It's been recalled because there was a controversial track on it, Adam.
|
|
Adam:
|
Hmm...
|
|
Wil:
|
A controversial track that included five things that didn't seem so controversial.
|
|
Adam:
|
That our listeners told us about this morning.
|
|
Wil:
|
That Tripod melded into a kind of controversial gangster rap song. And those five things were:
|
|
Adam:
|
Something cute with numbers, a reference to Don Bradman's baggy green, that guy who rolled a peanut with his nose as a protest, a "Tickle Me Elmo" doll, and butterflies. And then at the last second, the Mark Holden quote:
|
|
Wil:
|
Bling bling bling, budda bing budda bing budda bing.
|
|
|
Tripod!

Scod:
|
Now, it should be said that this is a theme song to a new kids' show we had in mind. Yeah?
|

Tripod:
|
I'm pretty fly,
|
|
|
I'm a pretty fly guy,
|
|
|
I'm a pretty butterfly.
|
|
|
|
|
|
If you come down to my street,
|
|
|
With your furry characters,
|
|
|
You'll be dead meat.
|
|
|
'Cause Elmo no longer tickles us.
|
|
|
|
|
Tripod:
|
Bling bling bling, budda bing budda bing!
|
|
|

|
Gatesy:
|

You growin' up on a ?? kids' shows,
|

|
|
|
You don't even know how to protest,
|
|
|
You think you'll impress me by rolling a nut with your nose?
|
|
|
|
|
|
One, two, three, I'll make you respect me,
|
|
|
Comin' at you like a HECS fee.
|

I'll pop a baggy green cap in your arse.
