Another Boy Band
Lyrics

They’re everywhere, so called superstars

Frequently, at the top of the charts

Teenage girls, scream and shout

‘Cause their new record has just come out

Saturate the market until

Everything is run of the mill

All the songs just sound the same

All the songs just sound the same

-

OH, PLEASE NO, DON’T GIVE US, ANOTHER BOY BAND

OH, PLEASE NO, WE DON’T NEED MORE OF THAT

OH, PLEASE NO, DON’T FEED US, ANOTHER COVER

OH, PLEASE, NO, WE’VE HAD OUR FILL OF BLAND

-

The whiny sound of non-offence

Add repeated sentiments

Lyrics churned, out by hacks

And they’ve just written a processed batch

Success is down to their looks

Two good singers and three prance around too much

Hair is gelled and suits are white

It’s funny but there always seem to be five

-

OH, PLEASE NO, DON’T GIVE US, ANOTHER BOY BAND

OH, PLEASE, NO, WE DON’T NEED MORE OF THAT

OH, PLEASE NO, JUST SPARE US, FROM ANOTHER BOY BAND

OH, PLEASE NO, THIS RUBBISH, SHOULD BE, BANNED

Lowdown

1999, the autumn years of the boy band pop phase. (Although we didn't know that then.) I was totally fed up of the lack of musical invention, the same old lyrics about love, and rhyming true with do.

The music industry was a homogenous mass of cheesy, overproduced tat sung by men with little to recommend them but their looks. It went down well with 12 year old girls, but I'd had enough, so I decided to write something that took the piss.

P.S. Justin Timberlake is still shit despite his 'reinvention'.
