Year 3000
Jul 22, 2003, 12:43
from the Rocking Vicar

================

Parishioner Paul Price: "I have two young sons, and consequently we have a copy of Busted's Year 3000 playing, oh only about fifty times daily. As you may know, the central premise of this song is that the boys travel from the present day to a point 997 years in the future, where they see that a'
'great great great granddaughter' is 'pretty fine'.

In my younger days, this wouldn't have made any impression on me, but now I find I am quite unable to allow this lyric legitimacy until I have tested it scientifically. If we allow a new generation to come along on average every twenty five years, then by the year 3000, 41 generations of boy band offspring will have come and gone, and the girl who is pretty fine will actually be their great (X39) granddaughter.

This may not scan so well in a pop song, but the
important thing is that it's accurate. The trouble is, no-one seems to care..."
