Lots of people try different angles on a major story, and whatever get's published gets published. Everyone gets to have a crack at it, and we learn from the comments. Yes, we've done remaking movies and films before, but why not apply it to this story? It's just a style of gag, maybe not a FP groundbreaker, but worth a go. </p> http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/topic.php?id=47351#post-136110 Mon, 27 Aug 2012 23:09:29 +0000 Martin Shuttlecock 136110@http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/ <p>Sorry Jen, but I'm sure you do.</p> <p>Just step outside what's expected.

I think both my supporters and detractors will find something that makes the earth move for them. It's just a shame those tasty birds in Abba aren't recording anymore, I'd have liked to have got into bed with them for this."</p> <p>The track list of the soon to be released (unlike it's creator) CD is:<br /> 1) Girls Just Wanna (Have Fun)<br /> 2) Sexual Healing<br /> 3) Please Release Me<br /> 4) Wake Me Up (Before You Have Another Go-Go)<br /> 5) I Hear You Knocking (But You Can't Come In)<br /> 6) Sweet Dreams (Aren't Made Of This)<br /> 7) Strangers In The Night<br /> 8)You've Lost That Loving Feeling<br /> 9) All You Need Is Love<br /> 10) We Don't Have To Take Our Clothes Off (To Have A Good Time)<br /> 11) Sex Crime (1984)</p> <p>He hopes that by becoming an international recording star he'll be excused his alleged 'indiscretions'..."<br /> Rumours that he was offered a role in a buddy movie “The Road to Ecuador” with Garry Glitter have been denied.</p> <p>Brought to you by Quaz and Jeni B records.</p> <p>*I'm certain there are other songs, please feel free to add your suggestions. </p>
