Quignunc

As part my ongoing quest to remain seconds behind the zeitgeist, today I am listening to the eponymous debut album by Eoghan Quigg.

It comprises 39 minutes of poorly-produced auto-tuned cover-versions of mainly bad songs.






















I have two further observations:


Track 4 is a high-energy reworking of Abba's Does Your Mother Know?, a song about a chap being pursued by a girl who is clearly far too young for him.

Surely Quigg, at 16, is himself far too young to sing such a song?

He'd have to be wooed by a toddler for it to make any sense.


In which case, why has he gone to the trouble in Track 8, a preposterous* cover of Busted's Year 3000, of changing the lyrics from:

'and your great great great grandaughter is pretty fine'

to

'and your great great great grandaughter is doing fine'?


Come on Quigg; why the inconsistency? Are you a nonce or not?


*Imagine a precocious Irish boy trying to do an impression of some obnoxious English boys trying to do an American accent. Hilarity ensues.

Update: The reason for the lyric change is that Year 3000 is not, in fact, a direct cover of the Busted original, but a cover of the Jonas Brothers' cover of the Busted original.

  3. But in the year 3000, someone only four generations after us would be 8-900 years old, thus this would make eggnog a gerontaphile...

  4. Unless:

    I have a daughter in 2018, and that child, thanks to scientific progress, shifting social circumstances and economic trends, has a child at the age of 50. This new child, born in 2068 lives to be 300, and has their first child at the age of 150 in 2218. If this child (my granddaughter) went on to have children that each lived 100 years longer and procreated halfway through their lives, then my great great great granddaughter would be only 32 by the year 3000. While too young to be considered of child-bearing age by her peers, she may well be considered 'pretty fine' by hapless time-traveling boyband members.
