however something that british flash mobbers need to learn (something shown by the Improveverywhere guys) is not to cheer at the end of these things. they need to just get up and walk away. This is why a predescribed meeting place for before and after is a good idea. people can keep the air of mystery until they all meet up again later.

a) Shot in Texas
b) Shot in a Motel
c) Probably Republican, if not Confederate leaning
d) The sick woman is called Rita, the woman in the pantsuit is Dolores, and The Mullet is called Chet or Andrew
e) The man taking the photograph is married to Dolores, and is called Jeff
f) Note Rita is unmarried. Either that or she is adulterous with The Mullet
g) That Rita is sick was premeditated by Dolores, Jeff and The Mullet
h) The Mullet is the offspring of Dolores and Jeff
i) Rita previously admitted to Dolores, over Bingo, she had taken a shine to The Mullet - and since Dolores is aware Rita regrets not being promiscuous enough in her youth, and also is aware of The Mullet's reputation as a lothario, Dolores has organised this Motel get-together.
j) This image was captured sometime in early January, on a camera The Mullet bought Jeff for his birthday on the 28th December
k) Being a red-blooded male, Jeff's first instinct on hearing Dolores plans for Rita and The Mullet was to assume the role of photographer
l) On being Told of his mother's plans The Mullet simply replied 'Get her drunk, get me more drunk'

Not your usual fare, I am aware (and heck, nazis are a tough act to follow... what can I say, the man knew style) but I'm rather tired of all these musicians having millions spent on them to get careers together and having chart hit after chart hit. I miss the days when people would put together a fun little song and get it to number one then spend the rest of their life doing albanian folk song mashups. So here's my attempt to april fool the music industry.
I've got a five figure subscriber rate on the YouTubes these days, so I figure if I put enough promo into it and get everyone to buy this single on iTunes on April 1st, it'll suddenly appear in the charts from nowhere, successfully april fooling the charts and showing them how powerful the internet can be as a marketing tool and buying force. Call it a fun experiment. That could have a big effect.
You up for it? All it takes is buying the single off iTunes on April 1st.
PS: The song is a David Bowie cover - I've got the rights to it. :D

Are those who have technical skill and speed, or those who just make something sound good.
