Go sleeper hit, go! Thanks rembar.

This is a sleeper hit, I'm tellin' ya. *save

Here's the official lyrics, but in that great folk tradition, they've been updated and changed to fit the times:

It may have been Camelot for Jack and Jacqueline
But on the Che Guevara highway filling up with gasoline
Fidel Castro's brother spies a rich lady who's crying
Over luxury's disappointment
So he walks over and he's trying
To sympathise with her but he thinks that he should warn her
That the Third World is just around the corner

In the Soviet Union a scientist is blinded
By the resumption of nuclear testing and he is reminded
That Dr Robert Oppenheimer's optimism fell
At the first hurdle

In the Cheese Pavilion and the only noise I hear
Is the sound of someone stacking chairs
And mopping up spilt beer
And someone asking questions and basking in the light
Of the fifteen fame filled minutes of the fanzine writer

Mixing Pop and Politics he asks me what the use is
I offer him embarrassment and my usual excuses
While looking down the corridor
Out to where the van is waiting
I'm looking for the Great Leap Forwards

Jumble sales are organised and pamphlets have been posted
Even after closing time there's still parties to be hosted
You can be active with the activists
Or sleep in with the sleepers
While you're waiting for the Great Leap Forwards

One leap forward, two leaps back
Will politics get me the sack?

here comes the future and you can't run from it
If you've got a blacklist I want to be on it

It's a mighty long way down rock 'n roll
From Top of the Pops to drawing the dole

If no one out there understands
Start your own revolution and cut out the middleman

In a perfect world we'd all sing in tune
But this is reality so give me some room

So join the struggle while you may
The Revolution is just a T-shirt away
Waiting for the Great Leap Forwards

Reacting in such a manner instead of talking it civilly is a bit immature, especially since a thread was here regarding the issue. And VS Muslim PR club? Hah.

Let videos float in the queue. What do you achieve from this dissemination of information?

Is it representative of the entire religion? Clearly not. The largest population of Muslim doesn't actually reside in the Middle East.

Is it the same as Christian bashing? Well are there American tanks rolling around Christians lands or Islamic lands? What do you think misunderstanding and fear breed?

Are you giving credence to a small minority and thus giving them power? Absolutely. This is clearly seen in current politics, just yesterday Iran and it's leader were being built up as some kind of war mongering nuclear armed dictator. No one of course talks about the massive sea and air power the US and UK field in the Persian gulf, capable of crippling nay destroying the entire nation of Iran in seconds back to the stone age. The misrepresentation of power politics in the Middle East is perverse.

What are the solutions offered? None.

So what is the basic conclusion. Let the war escalate, destroy every terrorist cell and Islamic nation for that matter. Where do the paths lead. Think about that. Understanding and diplomacy or more strong arm politics and war mongering.

I cannot fathom how I can have lived in the Middle east for as long as i have and strangely never been exposed to any of the garbage i have seen online. Clearly I am blind.

Peace may come with another paradigm, and perhaps some entertainers will help to usher it in, but as long as the planet is controlled by the dark side, no reasonable petition, well-meaning projects, marches on Washed-outtown, letters to tiny empire builders (congress and senate putties),and free hug campaigns, are going to do anything.....but get folks on lists, and in some peoples cases, like ol' JL, perhaps a sleeper with a pistol.....

Comment hidden because you are ignoring dag. (show it anyway)

I saw this movie tonight here in Sydney. The trailer makes it look like a cliched rehash of movies like Armegeddon. However, don't be fooled - this is a very smart movie that uses a lot of real science. I was impressed.

The feel was kind of a cross between 2001 SO, and Alien. I'm calling this the sleeper hit of 2007.

Sorry USAian's it won't be released there until September.

They go down so the NSA can gather up posters' ip addresses and personal information.....and to upload spook propaganda like lonelygirl and furries...oh yeah, and sleepers, too...they activate them through the u-tube connection....

...perhaps his connections afforded the spooks an opportunity to create a sleeper...
worse part of the whole mess...Brady Bill-should have gotten that street-sweeper when the chance was there.....

Wow! Sleeper video of the year. I can't believe how funny this guy ends up being, maybe one of the funniest Conan segments I've ever seen.

That brief part where the guy runs past the sleeper in the middle of a snore, so the audio pans across the screen still elects a giggle! Or rather, a chortling snort!

What a great idea, and well executed.

I caught a stingray once while deep-sea fishing...caught and released. Musta been a sleeper cell.

Amazing. This is an anti-Semitic piece from Iranian TV. *Very* evocative of Passion of the Christ.

" A TV series currently being broadcast on Iranian television features an odious scene of Jews eagerly stoning crucified Christians. As-hab Al-Kahaf (The People of the Cave) is a fictionalized account of the Roman oppression of the early Christians, based on the ancient tradition of the Seven Sleepers. In one scene, the Romans have crucified a number of Christians. Stereotypically evil-looking Jews wearing prayer shawls notice the crucifixions, and bribe the Roman officer to permit them to stone the Christians."

I'd have to say, more of a sleeper video in that it makes the real joke in the last few seconds. As much as it's making fun of Family, it's also making fun of itself, and those who are easily offended.

well she certainly is loud, and has some impressive control at times.

I agree with Daphne; the brit doesn't understand that some of her appeal is that of a 'sleeper'... something that comes along and is awesome in defiance of first impressions.
