My little gift to the Victorian Government. If they were to fine me per "offensive word", this little ditty would net them $3900. But they can get fucked.
Original idea by Dave The Happy Singer, for which I'm eternally grateful. Music, lyrics, production and all that nonsense by me.
You are free, I say, free, to cover this song anywhere you like, as long as you let me know you've done it and, if possible, provide a link to a recording.

I'll be in Melbourne on the 20th and 21st of June, the 20th to speak to Victorian Skeptics in the cafe (La Notte, Lygon Street) and to do a gig/live podcast thingy with Dave The Happy Singer at the Clyde in Carlton (where you can't say cock) on the 21st. Full details to follow shortly, but be there or be square. And don't bring your pollies.
By the way, a video of the above track should follow, with an updated version to be filmed in Melbourne when I get there.
