Poms relying on South Africans again - so what's new? Anyway - Bangladesh appears to be the new powerhouse of world cricket.

No, no irony in my avatar choice. Just thought other Songfighters may enjoy gazing on the highly arousing image of a slightly overweight and balding Victorian squeezed into tight white cricket flannels. I mean, don't get me wrong, I'm not saying that I subscribe to any form of alternate sexuality (not that there's anything wrong with that) - but there's something about Warney and those blonde tips...

(BTW I am done and dusted with my cover of 'Suburban Bathers'. Do you still need someone to suggest a Residents song for you?)

I haven't started doing a Prezzies song yet - so if if you'd like to suggest one and post an mp3 - yes

I am in the advanced planning stages. And then I found, quite unexpectedly, my old Residents lyric book. I supposed they're mostly available online somewhere but if you're having trouble let me know and I'll scan a page for yu.

This site (the official unofficial Residents) has a huge collection; although still pretty incomplete.
