Six & Out
January 28th 2007 11:12
I picked up a cassette tape of the album by Cricket's premier band (Six and Out, featuring Brett Lee on guitar and vocals, along with about four other moderately well-known cricketers) for only $1.30 at work a few weeks. It's fucking terrible and hilarious at the same time. More than half the album is covers (‘eagle rock’, ‘psycho killer’) yet they still have the lyrics for every song written up in their booklet. Anyways, they do a version of 'Howzat' (Daryl Braithwaite does some mean backup 'yeah-heeeehs' towards the end) and they all rap in it and it's atrocious, here's the lyrics...
In our game we got spin and swingers
Hot leg breaks and 'wanna-be' singers
We're high on rock, where egos fly
And we thought we'd give a little rap a try
With our baggy greens on back to front
We're in the groove now stump to stump
When a wicket falls we give a cool low 5
All the girlies say we're pretty rad for white guys
With our gold chains on we strut to the crease
No need for a helmet, got hair full of grease
We're master blasters, number one
Let's get, let's get, let's get it on
Check my shades and my bag of tricks
Step back and hit that rock for six
With a hip hop, big slog, give it all I got
All the girlies say what a whack, what a big shot, big shot, big shot, big shot
Now under the lights in one day drag
Bet ya all (yeah) wanna see the tail end wag
Took the tun and we stole the match
We're Six & Out and we've got no shame
We dig the music and we love this game
We're in the charts with a Howzat mix
All the girlies say we go real big, real big...

If you like really crap albums, you should check out The Very Best of David Hasselhoff (not just the best, but the VERY best). Every song is worse than the one that came before it. So it might actually make Brett Lee's album look good in comparison

They ran out of things to say here didnt they?

"With a hip hop, big slog, give it all I got ".

KylieW I'm appalled that you could speak out against a rock god such as the Hoff! I mean, here look at the skills in this clip! ....http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PJQVlVHsFF8
