Simple thing is, I am wary about putting my image or voice on the net.
Tricky thing is, I don't have an accent. Rather, I don't have an accent. I can drawl like an Austray-yan, enunciate like an Englishman, or tork like a Yank. Sometimes in the same sentence.

The Adelaide accent is somewhat English sounding anyway, and I've spent so much time with international people that I've got in the habit of adjusting my pronunciation to make it easier for them to understand. I've gone through Blair-British and Simpson-American and even developed a "recent migrant from south-east Asia" voice.

So, whatever accent I'm doing, I'm faking it.

As a diversion, here is butterfingers exercising his Aussie Accent. This comes with a category five potty-mouth warning.

video/audio or it's a load of BS.....

See Adam Hills' accent-he's from the same neck of the woods.

I'd like to think my accent is of the Toni Collete/Rachel Griffiths/Cate Blanchette persuasion. However I have been asked if I went to an English public school???(WHAT?!?!) The New Zealander at work takes great delight in attempting to imitate my most Australian expressions (insert big scoff here) as do the North Americans in moments of national rivalry.

Have a word with Sandy Possum.
She won't break into your shed for you, but she might be able to "find" a copy.

Casi, I can't count the amount of times I've been identified as an Antipodean!
Limey & DanaC can confirm I do NOT affect an Australian drawl or say pin instead of pen. Some people are just bad at identifying accents.

Oh. I can sometimes be one of them. Confusing a character with a broad Geordie accent as someone Welsh

Neither do we...that's the New Zealanders. I remember once, I had a NZer sitting next to me on a plane. At that stage of my life, I was unfamiliar with the differences in the NZ accents. Said fellow passenger asked for something that sounded like /pin/. My geniune response was "sorry, I don't normally carry them around with me." We cleared up that particular misunderstanding fairly quickly.

Is it fellow Brits who have been confused as to the origins of your accent?

Psssst, where do they speak Geordie?

DucksNuts · 11-23-2011, 06:00 AM

Heeeyyy....i didn't even know what a geordie was until one asked me out recently.

Apparently *wink*smirk*snort*, they are known to be well endowed.

Ok ok....can confirm on this instance

FIGJAM Lyrics

I woke up this morning, but I didn't wake
'Til the afternoon, because I slept in late
With a great mental state and a date with destiny
I'll roll down the block without a copper even stressin' me
Let alone arrestin' me or giving me a ticket
It's coming into summer, and the weather's fucking wicked
So I figured I'd be hitting the beach
Look at skinny-dipper's titties and get something to eat
After half a pound of chips and a flounder burger
I was sitting on my arse like a council worker
Reminising about being pissed off about
My house burning down to the ground, and being out on my arse
Before my change of fortune
Now I score tunes, don't get up before noon
So your mama's on the head of my knob
And it's better than heading to my dead-end job
Because the boss was a cockhead when I was a clerk
So I clocked him - and now I don't work
It's beautiful day, and I can use a cliche, cause
"I am the greatest!" ...like Cassius Clay

I got the world at my feet, and my toe jam's nasty
Figjam!
Fuck I'm good, just ask me
I couldn't give a shit about your corporate hierachy
Figjam!
Fuck I'm good, just ask me

Ahhhh! I can't believe how good I am, I'm the motherfucking man
Ahhhh! I can't believe how good I am, I'm the motherfucking man
Ahhhh! I can't believe how good I am, I'm the motherfucking man
Ahhhh! I can't believe how good I am, I'm the motherfucking man

I rock around in trucker thongs
Fucked off a buck-of-bongs
If you don't like it, you can come suck a long dick.
'Cause I'm brit pop, all the way to hip hop
I get so plastered, you'd think I'm drinking gyp-rock
But I'm shit-hot, no matter how you look at it
And my lyrics make you wanna read the book-a-let'
Don't - 'cause I'm cooking it like the iron chef!
That's why I'm deaf, up to the high clef

Figjam!
The rhymes are fat like Chief Wiggum and in fact
I never lack it's like a magic pack of Tim Tams
Where the duck nuts and you suck and I don't give-a-damn, so good on the cut
They should call me Edward Scissorhands

So give a hand for me and my associates ... (You suck!)
Well that's just inappropriate
Smoke me a kipper, bitch
I'm from the Ipa-switch
Side of town, don't forget to write it down
(West side, eeee!)
What the fuck? It ain't gangster rap!
Think you're tougher, then you'd probably suffer wanker's cramp
And I'll thank you to fuck right off
Professional fuckwits, take one night off

I'm Evil Eddie with a rock-steady microphone mastery
Figjam!
Fuck I'm good, just ask me
As a concept, the intellect can't grasp me
Figjam!
Fuck I'm good, just ask me

Ahhhh! I can't believe how good I am, I'm the motherfucking man!
Ahhhh! I can't believe how good I am, I'm the motherfucking man!
Ahhhh! I can't believe how good I am, I'm the motherfucking man!
Ahhhh! I can't believe how good I am, I'm the motherfucking man!

I got the style and profile, without the help of rhinoplasty
Figjam!
Fuck I'm good, just ask me
Kicking arse in the charts, but you can't class me
Figjam!
Fuck I'm good, just ask me
I just had a threesome with ya moma and your aunty
Figjam!
Fuck I'm good, just ask me
And they're coming back this arvo for the bukkake party
Figjam!
My dick is bigger than a wigwam!
And you can see my peepee three feet above the tv
And if you are getting very sleepy, wake up!
(these cunts need a shake up)

I'm a jet-set, go-getter, but I got a vendetta
Just got a death threat over the phone
Better go lay low, under ground, like a bilby
Figjam!
Chill man, people wanna kill me!
But I don't let that bullshit sweat me
I'm at ya mama's if you wanna come and get me,
You shady fuck, I may be stuck
In a crazy situation but I'm favoured by lady luck
You wanna stop me? You'd wanna do it properly?
[Blam blam]
Ah fuck! Somebody shot me!

zippyt · 11-23-2011, 05:44 PM

thats a Great but arragent song

There is justice, he does get shot in the end.

Aliantha · 11-23-2011, 06:08 PM

Don't most rappers (or hiphop or whatever you want to call it) write pretty arrogant lyrics?

It's not my thing personally. I don't see the need for all the swearing but sometimes the lyrics are quite thoughtful. This song is just a parody of himself though really. Surely? No one really thinks that much of themselves do they? lol

footfootfoot · 11-23-2011, 06:15 PM

Ali, you know that, and I know that, but Zippy is still surfing a tidal wave of surgical anaesthetics and won't be down for a few days yet. Sarcasm is often lost post surgery.

In the mean time, be a love and freshen up his ice pack.

zippyt · 11-23-2011, 06:16 PM

I like the song for the sheer arragents of it ,
its Funny

footfootfoot · 11-23-2011, 06:19 PM

I liked the word FigJam so much I wanted to start a company just so I could call it FigJam.

Aliantha · 11-23-2011, 06:23 PM

I make pretty good figjam. Just ask me.

I once knew an aussie guy who called himself figjam on the internet. He was a complete fucking arsehole.
