Edit: Lyrics:
you've watched us on the net for the last week (or Two?)
sat in your chair intent at logging on to view.
This went so well it stopped us doing what we do.
Oh-a oh
we ran a fund-raiser for a kids charity.
broadcast over machine by much technology,
but all of us were on death's doorstep by day three.
Oh-a oh
It's for the children
Oh-a oh
see twilight a-gain!
desert bus killed the internet star.
desert bus killed the internet star.
Donations kept us from our art.
Oh-a-a-a oh
And now we meet in an abandoned office room.
This week's video post has met it's crertain doom.
But now it's over and our work we can resume.
Oh-a oh
We have a plush duck!
Oh-a oh
we're tired as [swear].
desert bus killed the internet star.
desert bus killed the internet star.
In my house and in my car, I steer things left, I've bussed to far
Oh-a-aho oh,
Oh-a-aho oh
[bridge]
desert bus killed the internet star.
desert bus killed the internet star.
We played some songs on this guitar, have you seen what our donations are!?
bus cam failed and broke your heart, put blame on the VCR...
You are an internet star.
You are an internet star.
desert bus killed the internet star.
desert bus killed the internet star.
desert bus killed the internet star.
desert bus killed the internet star.
desert bus killed the internet star. (You are a internet star.)
I am not angry at you.

very very well done.... for people who do not want anything to do with desert bus after you guys pulled it off well..... heck, i would have never guessed that it wass all thought up, shot, and put on the internet in less than a day.... almost seems like you guys rehersed all the actions and words for days.
good job guys..... also looks like you got HUGE publicity on your site now. This is probably one of the few cases where within 12 hours there are over 7 pages of forum posts on this thread.
most other video threads i've seen get maybe a page or three most after 12 hours

Paul, you are forbidden from ever shaving again. I keep getting creeped out by the lack of beard, because Paul looks like some of my dad's old co-workers, now.
Amazing video. If that was the last video LRR ever made, I would be happy.
I'm happier that it's not, but if LRR ever makes a final video, it should be done just like that.

Deemed too hazardous for human contact.

The <swear> is a VTR?
Edit: Just wikipedia'd it. Video Tape Recorder.
<swear> you Maaaaaaaaaattttt!
*shakes fist*
Post-edit P.S. You know, I think I like this <swear> thing. I might keep doing it way past the point where it's funny. Of course, I try not to swear as is, but... whatever.
DOUBLE EDIT!!!!!!:
I think the fact that the original line was 'VTR' not 'VCR' makes me love this version even more...

How people can grow up during the nineties and not have all the music from Empire Records will always confound me.

This has got to be my favourite line in the video.Morgan (singing) wrote:In my house and in my car, I steer things left, I've bussed to far.
Also, for those who may have missed it four pages back:

It's a movie, and again, I might have to hunt you down and force you to watch it at gunpoint, if you don't go do it on your own.

I love the irony whenever I hear the original song on the radio (which is far too often for my liking).

Revenge isn't very becoming of you Matt.
I'm still trying to figure out why someone didn't tell me how awesome Muse is.

I had no part in this video whatsoever, beyond a couple of brief montage appearances. I do not know how they managed to shoot it all in one take, but I presume many of you have hit upon it, because it makes sense to me.
