Barbelith anthem.

Strange Machine Vs The Virus with Shoes

Maybe this belongs in music, but it encompasses the whole board (or should do).

Chesney Hawks-I am the one and only

I have to stick with Mystik Spyral (Trent's band from Daria): Freakin' Friends.

10:37 / 04.10.03

I think it's more "Where Your Eyes Don't Go" by They Might Be Giants.

14:32 / 04.10.03

After witnessing many barbelithers singing it at the proms this year there is no question

It has to be Jerusalem.

We would of course sing it with appropriate irony.

With apologies to Billy Blake:

We wash ourselves in shower gel: lime
Post thoughts upon this message board
Oh it’s the Barbelith of Tom
With forums, pics and threads ga-lore
And did the mod’rators divine
Fix topic summaries and links?
And was The Barbelith builded here
Among those dark satanic pics?

Bring me my fill of flashing wit!
Bring me the comics I desire!
Bring me my rage! My hissyfit!
Bring me my fictionsuit inspired!
I will not cease from mental fight,
Nor shall my sword stop battling trolls,
Till we have built The Barbelith
In interwebnetland’s hallowed halls.

Wish I’d been able to squeeze in a badger reference.

I was thinking football chants.

Come and have a go if you think you're Bar-be-lith!

'I am the one and only' by Chesney Hawkes.

It sums up the board on just so many levels, and it's such a fucking tune.

It's good to fuck to.

I didn't know you had a mirrored ceiling in your bedroom, Ellis.

12:17 / 05.10.03

Yes you did.

12:38 / 05.10.03

The more I think about it, the more this works for me as an anthem.

And it has badgers.
