Make your choice then live your life...

out_thereI'm just awake for the sake of being awake now. I'm too tired to even read, I'm just stuffing around with card games and angsty music. *shakes head at self* I need to stop being so self-indulgent and put myself to bed.
However, before I do, I'm going to cheer myself up. TISM (This Is Serious, Mum) have some amusing songs, and Whatareya has been going through my head on and off tonight.
Whatareya
You're a yob or you're a wanker -
Take your fucking choice;
So who is your favorite genius:
James Hird* or James Joyce?
You ever seen a live performance?
Join the wanker club.
You thought I meant table top dancing?
You're a yobbo, bub.
What are ya? Yob or wanker?
Wankers once used mobile phones,
But now that's sorta changing;
And yobs once lived in cottage homes
Ain't social change amazing?
If a yob and wanker want a girl,
The wanker guy will get her -
Both or them are equally ugly,
But the wanker hides it better.
What are ya? Yob or wanker?
A wanker fights inequality,
And for people's rights;
A wanker fights class prejudice.
A yobbo just fights.
Yob or wanker - wanker or yob -
Pass me the brush to tar ya;
Make your choice then live your life:
Come on, pal: what are ya?
What are ya? Yob or wanker?
*Note for non-Aussies, James Hird is a captain of an Aussie football team, possibly Essendon. I don't watch sports, I picked that up from a quick net search. *g*
So, indulge my curiousity. Read the lyrics and I'm sure you know the kind of vague guy stereotypes they're talking about. What would you call them? I'm just curious as to how the terms would differ in different countries/regions, as I think the terms "yob" and "wanker" might be pretty Aussie.
Still, it's almost an idea for an Angel songvid for next season. C'mon, Angel would make the perfect wanker, with his poofy hairgel, while Spike with his drinking, fighting and love of Manchester United, would make a pretty good yobbo.
Yeah, you're thinking about it now, aren't you? *g*
ETA: Is it wrong that these lyrics from "Greg! The Stop Sign!" make me snigger and think of Brian Kinney?
The rich kid becomes a junkie,
The poor kid an advertiser.
What a tragic waste of potential,
Being a junkie's not so good either.
Hee!
