Billy Birmingham/The 12th Man

[GoEagles]

Remember him? Flash your back back to 1992 when he had the comedy song "Marvellous" which took a light-hearted look at some famous cricketers and commentators (Especially Richie).

Anyway he's back with a tribute to the Sydney Olympic Games aimed at sports commentator Bruce McAvaney in the form of a new single titled "Bruce 2000".

I couldn't find it on Napster but downloaded a 35 second preview at his website at http://www.the12thman.com/ - tell me what you think!

Now that everyone is going to rush out and get Foxtel, you can all watch a show on Fox Sports called the Back Page which features Billy Birmingham along with Mike Gibson, Tracey Holmes (sacked from 7 for bonking Stan Grant) and two other goons.

This show is aimed at showing all of Australia that 5 idiots in a Sydney studio have no idea on any sport that happens outside of Sydney. Riveting stuff

------------------
This is a hallucination and these faces are in a dream. A computer generated environment; a fantasy island you can do anything and not have to face the consequences.

Hey GE, I saw the single in the shops the other day..........have to give it a listen, I am a HUGE fan of his other work.

hehehehe

Never mind that the amount of intra-staff bonking that goes on at any of the TV stations or newspapers rivals that of a Swedish 'specialty' film. Run with the Stan Grant story, because he heads a popular show on a rival network, until they have to sack someone.

No one was sacked for bonking. They were sacked as a part of a larger game of the money-grubbing media big-wigs.

It's quite tough finding this song on Napster, let me know if anyone here has had any success.

Finally got the lyrics (off a music website) for those who want to sing along:

And I can tell you it really has been a special couple of weeks here
in Sydney.

Gee, it has been exciting hasn't it. No wonder Juan and Tonio have both described it as the best games ever.

The Chinese girl, Gon Shop Ping up against the Korean, Phul Kar Park, in one of the quarter finals, and in the other quarter, two more Koreans doing battle, Yoo Pak Shit and So Doo Yu.

And now with her second attempt at 2 metres 56, Bettya Notganagedova... she was a hot favourite for the women's high jump. But the Nigerian girl, Oyebebe Ooimarma, is still in the lead here... and Kenya's first weightlifting gold medal to Teme Wadase... Teme Wadase, the new
Olympic champion for Kenya...

Well done Jenny, 23rd overall, a personal best. Doesn't auger well for Athens though!... The Russian, Gobdimov, in lane 4, Wahid Al Aheem, the Kuwaiti runner in 5, Titsakimbo, the Nigerian in lane 6... And a
special auction of Olympics memorablabia tonight, and the girls from the
women's water polo team are going to.

And the Slovakian gold medal champion, Proboli Popdaneki, isn't he loving
life at the moment. Look at him hugging the Korean silver medalist, Hu Tuk Hu.

Nanlevtova for Russia, he looks very disappointed.

And the Chinese take away sweet and sour memories from Sydney... Now the current standings in the Men's Hammer throw... the Russian, Yagodanastikov is in the lead. Zareny Kashleftova, the other Russian, holding down second spot. Bladi Robsic, the Croation in third... Gee, it's dominated
by the European this event isn't it... Tomas Gleisner, the German, currently in fourth... Chuck Dewobolli... now Chuck the only American still with a chance of a medal... he's in fifth, but not throwing well...

Lasagne from Italy going pasta now... Chu Ma Fat from China in lane 1... Ji Yu Suk, the Korean in 2... Con Creteshos, the Greek champion in lane 3. Matt Shirvington, the 'Lunch Box'... special moment this for the
special penis... er, a special athlete... we'll go back to the High Jump soon, they're just putting the bar up there. And, speaking of barring up, let's go out to the Women's Beach Volleyball now. Here's Sandy Cracques
at Bondi... Anita Pupu from Nigeria...
several of the Chinese girls not competing in these Games... the two swimmers, Wi Do Ping and Yeh Wi Wun, both pulling out... she's such a special athlete... wouldn't you just love to... Tossalegova, she's done it... the Russian champion. Not since the great East German, Nora Titsoff, have we seen such... a special moment for Ireland as Paddy O'Furniture becomes the first Irish swimmer to...

Gi Long Dong, the Korean in front now... just ahead of the Russian, Wenyanokinov... the German Kuntz in third... as they come around now for the bell lap... Ruihn Mahmood, the Indian... Pissenmiov, the Russian, just behind, the Italian, Biensili... Midav Tanokova, the other Russian...

Hishitin Mitu, the Japanese champion... then the runner from Kazakhstan, Kanbergerov... a bit of a gap on the field then to the Dutchman, Jooser Damme Goos... Sum Dum Prik from Thailand... there's another runner
there on the inside, Huus Krapdisdackz from Poland... and droppping away now, the Swede, Lars Persson...

miwions, possibly biwions... dare I say triwions people from all over the worwd...

[Tom FC]

I listened to the track twice through and didn't laugh once. Didn't even smile. It is absolute shite. Anybody can come up with fake names which mean something stupid in English. It wasn't very funny ten years ago, it's just embarassing now.
