    Wasn't it the B side of "Don't Fear the Reaper" by Blue Oyster Cult?

    Same tune, different words...

    We can be like they are

    Don't Diss the Rabbit

    We'll be able to fly

    Don't Diss the Rabbit

    Baby I'm your man

    Don't Diss the Rabbit

    You've come right out the other side of the forest of irony and ended up in the desert of wrong.

      You're welcome.

      The were formed after their lead singer JP Anderson left The Shizit.

      The Shizit were an astounding band, best classified if you need to as "digital hardcore". The sheer power, intensity and strength behind The Shizit's music was a revelation to me.

      Original Shizit recordings have been very hard to find, but I have just noticed that someone has put some on You Tube.

      Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

        When texting first came out my mate thought that the fewer letter you used the cheaper the text message!!!

        -Obviously I know if it goes over 2 pages.... BUT back then there wasn't pages!!!

          Does anyone else do this or am I a prig? :
          Looks like we are both prigs then.

          I refuse to let my (low) standards drop even if it is a text message.

          Probably why I don't text that often and prefer the human (read old fashioned by todays standards) touch of actually speaking to people.

              Oh and if you like The Shizit and Rabbit Junk, have you heard of DHC Meinhof ?

                What I hate is reading random forum messages on other message boards where the whole message is written in txt speak. It really does make me wonder what kids are being taught these days in school.

                I can understand using txt in an SMS where you have a limited number of characters to use, but in a message board? GTFO KTHXBI!

                  I use T9 predictive text but always make a point of writing proper sentences and punctuation.

                    If it soothes the brow of some, then I say, why the heck not ?

                    Better to keep an eye on them here than have them loose on the streets scaring old ladies with bits of C++.
                    I'm better than dirt. Well, most kinds of dirt, not that fancy store-bought dirt... I can't compete with that stuff.

                      I am the same, but then I am an old git.

                      Actually, the main reason that I don't use the predictive text is because I swear a lot and it never predicts swear words accurately.
