Are you postmodern?
"I'm So Postmodern," by the mysterious Bedroom Philosopher, may well be the funniest song I've ever heard. Here are its deliriously wonderful, definitively Australian lyrics in full:
I’m so postmodern that I just don’t talk anymore, I wear different coloured t-shirts according to my mood.
I’m so postmodern that I work from home as a surf lifesaving consumer hotline.
