Thrills, Kills and People on the Organising Committee who didn't Think Things Through

I liked the flaming air guitarist, and I can even cop ballerinas in AFL themed tutus.

But it's wrong that Grinspoon, the poor man's Powderfinger and possibly Australia's most overrated band*, opened The Show at the Commonwealth Games closing ceremoany.

And did they have to be singing "Hard Act to Follow"? This is not only a Very Bad Song, but wildy inappropriate in every respect. The title is a lie, and as for the lyrics:

You're a hard act to follow,
Such a fine looking fellow.
I hear your belly is yellow,
You're a hard act to swallow.

It kinda makes me sick,
The way you turn those tricks.
C'mon and light it up,
I wanna feel the rush.

I'll be shooting for thrills when I walk out that door,
You say it's hard to care anymore.

Kills, thrills and Sunday pills woah,
I'm on a mission to kill, still, coz nothing thrills, no.

You're hooked on coke and hoochie,
I want my milk and cookies.
You know your wife looks pretty,
I think your wife looks pretty.

I'll be shooting for thrills when I walk out that door,
You say it's hard to care anymore.

Kills, thrills and Sunday pills woah,
I'm on a mission to kill, still, coz nothing thrills, no.

I'll be shooting for thrills when I walk out that door,
Don't turn around and say you need me anymore.
Popping pieces of pills up off the lounge room floor,
You say its hard to care anymore.

Kills, thrills and Sunday pills woah,
I'm on a mission to kill, still, coz nothing thrills, no.


In happier news, apparently Australia won lots of shiny things, so yay us. Heaps more than New Zealand, but that's certainly not news.


* Killing Heidi also a contender.
