# make it a
hi-nrg europop band called 'Whipsnade'.
(I helped save b3ta! monkeon schmonkeon, Tue 8 Oct 2002, 12:12, archived)
# now that I do like
and I also have the tools to produce fantastic euro pop. (Reason)

Team this up with 4 bassists, some bagpipes, and multiple spoon players and we are laffin.

Ladies, hows about some backing vocals and dance routines to make "Whipsnade" the next big chart topper?

edit: multiple "Bez" clones would give us a further edge.

and the way this is shaping up, it would be very appropriate.
