A rather hasty Easter holiday response to the bizarre news of the US military intelligence leak – and a first chance to put Alfie through his paces since a successful heart operation in the past weeks which means he’s even better than he was before (though has been doing some online gaming...)! So here’s our parody of “Are You Gonna Be My Girl”, the retro-sounding but very pumping Australian rock track released in 2003, written by Nic Cester and Cameron Muncey. We stuck some nice vintage reverb on the girls – but had to film them stuck in the corner, for which apologies. The references are from the US-side of the pond for once, given yesterday’s arrest by the FBI in Massachusetts of the young leader of an online chat and gaming group who had leaked dozens of documents revealing US assessments of the war in Ukraine and sensitive secrets. And before someone tells us that “Black Ops 3” is now an ancient computer shoot-em-up game – we do know this, but it just scanned best for the lyrics. ________________ Thanks as ever to the people who support our musical antics through Patreon (where you can see extras like out-takes and podcasts): Do join us there, or just leave a tip at our tip jar at: ________________ Lyrics: [Verse 1] So one, two, three Take my hand and come with me Because you shared some files That were really very classified I’d say you look surprised And it really wasn’t authorised [Verse 2] Oh, four, five, six State secrets in the mix Now it don’t seem so funny When you get locked up, does it, buddy? [Pre-Chorus] Big chatrooms, teenage dares He's just leaked US war affairs [Chorus] Well, you should be playing “Black Ops 3” But you upset the Pentagon, yeah I know Ukraine’s quite far away But it’s not like some stupid game, yeah I said, are the other plans secure? [Verse 3] So one, two, three Say, what kind of military Requires the FBI To go looking for a cyber spy? Or maybe not a spy Just a really clumsy intel guy [Verse 4] Oh, they should fix Who gets to see the pics Never mind AI It’s on WhatsApp from the pizza guy [Pre-Chorus] Big chatrooms, teenage dares “Call of Duty” don’t mean much there! [Chorus] Well, you should be playing “Black Ops 3” But you upset the Pentagon, yeah I know Ukraine’s quite far away But it’s not like some stupid game, yeah I said, are the other plans secure? [Bridge] Oh yeah Oh yeah Come on
