Which I guess is some sort of landmark! It's Veritaserum, Then and Now by janicechess -- short but amusing.

Lyrics: Okay, Paperback Writer by the Beatles last time wasn't too hard and was identified by lupinslittlesis, lazy_neutrino, sugarannie, tree_and_leaf, and themolesmother. Just out of curiosity, I'll try one I used in a recent pub quiz -- you quite likely know the song, if you're like me maybe don't remember the title. :)

I get knocked down, but I get up again
You're never gonna keep me down
I get knocked down, but I get up again
You're never gonna keep me down ... (1990s)

Tubthumping by Chumbawamba! Bloody addictive, that one :D With incomprehensible lyrics. "Don't cry for me, next door neighbour" (as Peter Kay would have it)

Those were the lyrics, weren't they? :) (I think they're meant to be what a drunken karaoke version of Evita would be like or something!)

It's meant to be a dig at what we did to Argentina during the Falklands war. A radical friend christened his Daughter "Malvina" at the time. If she'd been a boy, she'd have been called "Falkland".

Happy days they were. *raises clenched fist*

Ah, that makes sense. (The lyrics, not the naming. :D)
