The internets are falling all over themselves bestow a new Nobel Prize for outstanding achievement in grime on M.I.A., but this time, the internets are correct. In a better world, "Mango Pickle Down River" would have dropped in May, because it has summer anthem all over it, and food it is themed, keeping it out of the Silica Gel category. I know not of this Wilcannia Mob, but they sound sort of like the Pack and Musical Youth were on a Gulfstream IV that ran out of gas somewhere in the Outback. In an even better world, M.I.A., and not some moody bitch, would be getting the mad steakhouse chain money.

Is that the line? I always thought it was "...play some bridge," which I could relate to much more.

I actually looked it up, and they have it as "didge," as in short for "digeridoo." It rhymes with "bridge" in the line before, so if it were "play some bridge," it would be one of those same word rhymes like "but she never lost her head" in "Walk on the Wild Side."

I don't care if her rhymes are annoying; I'd play bridge with her.

You're right, of course, although she's been known to use lots of same-word rhymes in, e.g., "URAQT".
I looked up Wilcannia Mob, who are Australian kids with an odd similarity to the five Chinese brothers:
Members include:
Wally Ebsworth; who wears a White baseball cap.
Keith Dutton; who walks on stilts.
Colin "Colroy" Johnson; who likes Jackie Chan.
Lendal King; he likes to fish.
Buddy Blair; he can't stay still and likes to travel.

The new needs friends. Not everyone can become a great artist, but a great artist can come from anywhere. Do you think so?
