That really is the best received line in the whole piece isn’t it…

I recall him using it, but I’ve heard it referenced in other places that predate Zero Punctuation by some time. I thought it might be a “classic rock” reference or something.

Sadly, I know I’m quoting someone else with “rock out with your cock out”. Unfortunately, a short spell of Googling fails to turn up the original source. If anyone else knows, do post. This might be a job for the Big P…

And I’ll try to do more rhyming in the future.

You have dashed my dreams of becoming a heavy metal lead singer/songwriter. Actually, no, “Big P” dashed them yesterday by cruelly Twittering about my singing…

The line “rock out with your cock out” is fantastic. Can we have more gratutious rhyming on FTBD?

@Martin This is true, there are plenty of electronic acts who probably drift clear of the above points. Hell, you could be in Gorillaz and just be represented by a cartoon.

Too funny by far. This article has crushed my dreams of becoming the next Kraftwerk. Wait, I’m not a performer, I don’t play an instrument, I can’t sing, and I’m old. Maybe I CAN be the next Kraftwerk! Or at least that guy from Depeche Mode who just stands behind a keyboard which likely is not plugged in!
