Hey! It's #fortnightFridayMusic & the cue is: #thunder Sometimes songs don't age badly, society does. Lyrically, they foresaw the future in this banger, probalby my favourite of theirs: TISM - Thunderbirds Are Coming Out Shot in one take, the video features 30 bands from the Melbourne scene in 1998 miming to this song. It's not only funny but also now a nostalgic snapshot. Of all the bands in this video,on #TISM and the Ringwood Secondary College Choir & Orchestra are the only two you could go and see play today. 🎶 I was my parents' puppet till my teenage years When I rebelled and swapped them for my peers I used to sit for hours all alone Without an opinion to call my own I had to keep this compulsion to myself This need to be like everybody else But now I'm out of the closet and I feel free 'Cos I just saw Thunderbirds on TV Sing if you're proud to be plastic now Thunderbirds are coming out Yes I've been outed and I'm so happy I've found a role model just for me I think I could be like those puppet guys 'cos there's less to them than meets the eye 🎶 @Bishopjoey@writing.exchange @dgar@aus.social @electric_gumball@mastodon.social  @stormygleason@hachyderm.io  @fc@universeodon.com #ausMusic 1/4
