John Lennon, Jimmy Hendrix, Keith Moon, Sid Vicious….They don’t make rock stars like they used too. You won’t see Fran from Travis biting a dove’s head off. I mean it could hurt the poor wee thing couldn’t it? And the only dangerous thing about that grin of his is the sunlight reflecting off those pearl white teeth.»

Koalas are generally known for being cute cuddly little-ish marsupials that eat lots and do very little. Koala are generally known for being human, playing instruments, inhabiting pubs, jumping up and down and singing. Preferably all at the same time.

"Huh this name’s funny. Pronounced "muwong" then, is it?" er, no it’s "moong" actually…think of mooing cows. "So what does it mean then? Sheep Shaggers Anonymous?" it’s translated as "Mane". Furry animals have them. "They’re Welsh, you know." YES WE KNOW!!!!!

We’re “gong” to have a ball. Ok, ok I know it’s an excruciatingly bad pun but I’m sure the ‘Lips won’t mind in the slightest, especially as there is a very large circular bit of bronze hanging behind singer Wayne Coyne.
