I think what you mean to say is "white trash rapper". Eminem is another one. I quite like his stuff though.

Either bra', sistah or [censored] depending on gender of speaker and subject, I
believe. If it was derived from the latin then cum peepae defias.

Pretty sure Bowie performed it first, Queen later

Well you're all kind of right, it's "David Bowie and Queen". It appears
on many of Bowie's "greatest hits" collections, and he still plays it
live at concerts (with a girl bass player singing freddie's parts).

So there ya go!

Correct, it was a originally an 1981 collaboration between Queen & Bowie.

Could never work out those lyrics to "Informer" though - why did he
keep singing something about his "itchy-bum-bum-down"?? *laughs*

Careful abba dabba. Dont dis the iceman. Lyrics dot com. The secrets of snow will be revealed (a licky boom boom down). Man he was [censored].

Yeah I think so. Its been a while since I've been to a gig (at least 3 years). I remember a story about them getting into trouble late last year with the brewers of XXXX beer for exploiting XXXX's intellectual property in their "Mr Fourex" character on some concert / new album T-Shirts. Dont you hate big business. Its actually more free publicity for them!

Ahhh, the Saints* (I know I'm an old codger). Takes me back to Brisbane, and the ilegal street marches, the vandalism of architectural heritage and brown paper bags full of money.

For anyone who remembers the Saints* (you young 'uns can get their records on CD now I hear), I listened to Chris Bailey interviewed recently when he was back from the UK for a visit. He sounds like a bloody upper middleclass pom now. Pfft.

*I'm suffering from sitting for an exam and submitting 2 assignments today so my brain is fried and I can't even think of any other Brissie bands. The Saints music is actually good cycling music.

What about The Go Betweens and although I think they came from Sunshine
Coast can't go past the Sunny Boys.

What about Vanilla Ice's all time greatest line?

It was in his 'must see' movie "Cool as Ice". A woman was being mistreated by her boyfriend and Ice shows her the path to righteousness (ie his pants) by saying "Yo! Drop the Zero! Get with the Hero!"

Academy Award-deserving stuff.

Must say I lost all respect for Snow when he called his album "12 Inches of Snow".

Ice truly was the pioneer of "cross-over" celebrities. Did you also know that he was a real life motorcross star? He mentioned it just before he got the [censored] beat out of him by Wujutorkinbout Willis on celebrity boxing

Didn't XXXX just steal their name from porcelain bottles of moonshine being drunk by rednecks in cartoons anyway???

I think Vanilla Ice's movie career peaked with his cameo in Teenage
Mutant Ninja Turtles 2....

Aah The Saints.. remember them well. May have had a t-shirt to match my stretch faberge's and ciak's.
Powderfinger and i think regurgitator are both qld bands..
You would have to remember "The Radiators" then.. another classic aussie band from that time.

Yeah , but they did add another X, thereby creating their own original intellectual property

Coorparoo? (I've been menaing to ask)

The Saints were Inala boys - rough as guts and made wonderful music to match.

The Radiators were from Sydney, IIRC, but they played regularly in pubs in Brisbane.

Powderfinger - essentially a product of Queensland Uni, with a mix of country lads and Brisbane private schoolboys (Grammar and Terrace).
[font=Georgia][/font]
Regurgitator - after I left Brisbane, but I have eaten in Quan Yeoman's Mum's North Vietnamese restaurant. And she's a bit of a cyclist (back on topic). In 1994, she cycled 1,750km across Vietnam to raise $27,000 for the haematology unit in Hanoi.

Go-betweens - Forster and MacLennan were at Queensland Uni and formed the Go-Be's when I was there but we didn't talk to them much as they were Arts students.
