    The Fast Crew feat. Dr Seuss

    I've got a rocket in my pocket,
    put the plug into the socket my dear.
    But you gotta watch the Wocket,
    Cos the Wocket won't stop it
    until he makes his intentions clear.

    Cos I got,
    and I rock.
    ......

    Seriously tho, is it Shihad or Zed?

    Did you miss slingshot's reply

    It's Little Feat - Slingshot gets the points ... Surely.
    Title is "Time loves a hero."

    But for do I get bonus points for knowing that Burns and Smithers had that quote (or most of it) in the Simpsons?

    Something like:
    Smithers! I've got a rocket in my pocket!
    You don't have to tell me, sir!

    Well it's quite possibly a case of synchronicity (or more likely plagiarism) by the NZ band..

    Points to Yokai for including a Simpsons quote in the thread, and a consalation point to Slingshot for his awnser.



    One more hint (and someone *must* get it with this)

    Nth+1 Hint: The bands last drummer went on to star in a popular NZ soap..

    Those lyrics or some like it have been used by Devlin, Devo, Jimmie Logsdon, Joe Whiting and many others...

    Im stumped
    To every man upon this earth
    Death cometh sooner or late
    And how can a man die better
    Than facing fearful odds
    For the ashes of his fathers
    And the temples of his Gods

    Damn it! If only I'd read that thread earlier, I could've got that one! But well we're on the topic I might add my two cents of trivia:
    Manufactured bands, the works of marketers around the world have served to provide a number of chat topping hits - none more prominient than the 1971 song "I'd like to teach the world to sing" was rewritten after the hands down success of the advertisment featuring kids from all round the world singing "I'd like to buy the world a coke," a song written over night in the week before filming was scheduled to begin.
