Fucking Busted's 'Air Hostess'

sample lyrics:

“Air hostess
I like the way you dress
Though I hate to fly
But I feel much better
Occupied my mind
Writing you a love letter
I messed my pants
When we flew over France
Will I see you soon
In my hotel room
For a holiday romance?
Air hostess”

I had the misfortune to find this playing on my television the other day. This is the shittest song ever, along with having the worst lyrics ever commited to paper, and then CD.
‘I wonder what rhymes with France?’. How would you sleep at night, knowing you sang these words?
This ‘band’ of fuckwits appear to think they’re some kind of alternative to pop music too, rather than 3 record company puppets who’ll be dropped like a great big sack of shit once their ‘records’ stop selling, in about 3 months. People buy this shit? I can only hope this doesn’t travel over to America at anytime. I truly despair at the state of chart music these days.

Look! A Pit thread that’s not about America or Politics!

To be fair Paul me and my sister agreed that this was the one Busted song that is funny as fuck simply for the line ‘I messed my pants flying over France’. Fucking classic, a pop song about shitting your drawers whilst on a school trip. I find it’s better if you sing it in your mind as ‘I shit (or cacked, filled, packed etc.) my pants…’ I wholeheartedly agree that Busted are shiter than shite (I have to sit next to this very annoying, very loud, very greasy Busted fan at work who has plastered her desk with cuttings of her fave ‘band’) but that line still makes me giggle. I want to know, what are your feelings about ‘McFly’?

I can see no difference between McFly and Busted, apart from the drones in McFly have slightly less punchable faces, ie, I don’t remember what they look like. ‘5 colours in her hair’?

5 bullets in my gun.

And anyway, the messed my pants bit I thought referred to him creaming himself over this air hostess, rather than shitting himself. School trip? they’re older than I am! Cheeky cunts.

Hmmm, your take on the song, in retrospect, seems much more likely although I still like the idea of him shitting his pants because he is so intimidated by this air hostess. Maybe it is the metaphorical shitting of the pants?

And Busted are older than you? They are only about sixteen aren’t they? I’ll check with the office Busted fan…

And really…isn’t SOCIETY metaphorically shitting in their pants?
Think about it…won’t you?

eh, they aren’t talking about shitting their pants.

Yes, thats what your little sister is listening to.

I can’t wait to hear Their serious rock record, which should probably be due on their next album. You know what it will be like, all angsty and serious, the video will have them walking in the rain. The song will probably be about getting dumped for another guy…
Load the shotgun Mabel.

If they get as far as releasing another album. Seriously, the big eyebrow dude and the one who looks like a chipmunk with really bad hair need their arses kicking. And the other one who’s always in The Sun/Mirror entertainment pages for being pissed up needs feeding to Lions or something.

With me there, shouting “WHO’S DAVID?!” over and over again while it happens.

1000 berserker posts, at last. That only took 3 and a bit years. Blau!

I think in Celebration, you should start a thread called “Paulberserkers encyclopedia of people who are rock as pirates”.

Well, I just found out from Lisa A.K.A ‘Eyeball Paul’ that Charlie (monobrow) is eighteen, Matt (mashed liver) is twenty-one this week, happy birthday you and James (bonobo boy) is twenty. Man they sure look younger. Personally I think they should have written it about filling their pants with man pat kind of like a latter day ‘rock’ version of the infamous ‘diarrhoea’ song. I even have a new lyric for them; ‘I filled my drawers, flying over the Azores’ - admittedly it may need work but you see where it’s headed.

By far the worst thing about Busted is that their songs seem to have an element of catchyness to them, like syphillis, or genital warts.

Hear that paul - you share a birthday-week with Busted!

Well why the fuck didn’t you stay there?! Cunts.

Hey, that’s telling!!

Tell you what, Paul, if you hate them so much you should be delighted you didn’t see them on Jonathon Ross a few weeks ago.
The dark haired one was so unspeakably delighted to be there that I reckon the trouser activity under advisement was in process while Ross was interviewing them.
It was tortuous to watch.

You are ALL wrong. Busted are ace. I met the little buggers, so I should know! They are all just so cute. And they have minders who make them go to bed at a certain time, but, guess what? They sneak out of their rooms later on to meet up in the bar downstairs. How rock and roll is that!? They are true hardcore.

On a less facetious note (and I’m sure I’ll get a kicking for this), I happen to quite like McFly. Sure they are another annoying teen band for 9 year old girls (my niece is a fan), but their songs are very reminiscent of classic Beach Boys tunes and sometimes (heaven forbid!) the Beatles, and as such are not deserving of the same sort of criticism levelled here at Busted.

Paul, listen to the album (as I have been made to do) on a bright sunny day, and you’ll learn to like them too. In fact, if you heard some of their songs without knowing who they were, you would be saying things like “that’s a great song, who is that?”. Betcha. :stuck_out_tongue:

Aro - Busted and McFLy? :eek:
OK, where is the real Aro and who is this imposter?
Dipsatch the troops to all points north and find where the bandits have hidden him.
A sack of golden doubloons to the man who finds him.

Good grief, it’ll be Blue next.
:smiley:

Hey, I never said I like Busted.* Feck knows I hear the bloody album enough though.

  • Okay, I did say that, but I didn’t mean it. That bit was jollies only.

That I seriously doubt my friend. I could be sat out in the sun, and they could come up and pay for my beers all day long, and maybe, just maybe there would be a radio nearby. They’re new song would come on, and I wouldn’t have heard it as they sit there in anticipation of me saying “who’s this? it’s reminiscent of the Beach Boys, and not at all poorly produced lightweight pap that means nothing to anybody except 6 year old girls and gay men.”

But I wouldn’t say that. In fact, i’d probably glass them for even entertaining the idea. Have you even heard the Beach Boys?
I’m afraid my musical taste and knowledge doesn’t run into comparing these fucko’s to anything like classic music. It’s not even as good as the London Boys, nevermind the Beach Boys.

And yes, I still hate the Beatles, as I sit here with Ween at top volume in my headphones.

Beach boys?

Does that mean Charlie is going to take massive amounts of LSD, have a breakdown, and not come out of his sandpit for years?

Is Charlie * not one of the Busted lads? I was comparing McFly to the Beach Boys.

Oh no! I’ve revealed too much!

I think Charlie is involved in “writing” songs for McFly.

Now, if you want to get me irked about Beach Boys comparisons, buy me a pint and mention The Thrills.
