THE BIRD IS THE WORDDDDDDD

In a recent statement, the group explained that the campaign represents a concerted effort to strike a blow for real music, and to wrest the U.K. chart spotlight back from the domination of lightweight manufactured pop, as exemplified by Simon Cowell’s wildly successful TV show X Factor. “Our mission,” the group explains, “is to continue the success of last year’s ‘Rage Against The Machine’ Facebook campaign, which snatched the Christmas Number One spot from X Factor. The reason behind this campaign is to further prevent the domination of manufactured music, and to allow something truly great to take the limelight. We are quickly closing the gap on the Number One spot, and we won’t stop until everybody knows that the bird is the word!”

See for yourself...

Surfing bird is a novelty song, something we don’t have on radio anymore. Novelty songs generally did very well but for a short time. Forcing it up the charts in the UK seems strange and artifical. Oh well to each his own but I miss the ocassional nonsense songs we used to get now and then.

I see the British Top 40 charts are as full of the same crap as ours are.
