Nizlopi are worse than the Rwandan massacres.

Nizlopi wouldn't win round 1 of a local bands competition, how have the reached the masses?

They're more interesting than Coldplay.

Can I just ask, does he say "I'm so glad i'm not in school, Boss".. like a kebab salesman?

― Don Rowlando (Sam Rowlands), Tuesday, 6 December 2005 14:14 (nineteen years ago)

Yes boss!

The song would be better if it was about the Israeli army crushing Palestinian homes.

― Dom Passantino (Dom Passantino), Tuesday, 6 December 2005 14:18 (nineteen years ago)

OK, description please.

As objective as possible.

Like Athlete crossed with avian flu.

So why's it so hot for the christmas number one?

― mark grout (mark grout), Tuesday, 6 December 2005 14:38 (nineteen years ago)

Cuz XFM is hyping them so blatantly. While introducing the song the DJ's say that "We have to make Nizlopi number one for Xmas charts".

ok, description: singalong simpleton songs, you remember the kids tv show playaway in the 70s = nizlopi in the 00s

I think we're signing them, which if you're familiar, you know what that means.

― Eppy (Eppy), Tuesday, 6 December 2005 17:55 (nineteen years ago)

I have no idea what that means.

I saw the video this morning. Quite nice, in an 'irritating by mid Jan' style a'la G.Jules

On two listens (with the video) I really like it, but do not ever play it near me again.

I heard the single in Virgin on Friday. Now there's a whole bunch of other people I want to skin slowly with a rusty peeling knife.

It really annoys me. I saw it at a short film night I sometimes DJ at (they play music videos too sometimes, if they're interesting) in around August and found it terribly twee. Conversation with my then-boyfriend went like this:
Me: This is so bloody twee.
E: Aw no, it's okay. It's cute. It's every little boy's dream. Look! Optimous Prime's having to wait.
Me: (Says) God, you're so bloody sentimental sometimes.
Me: (Thinks) I am dead inside. I have no finer feelings. I am too cynical and like the Snow Queen.
Then wind forward a few months and it's all over the place and stuck in my head and making me feel like a bad, dead-inside person for hating it.
