	Story Behind the Song In summer 2001 Richard Hall reached the end of his tether. Bored with the constant barrage of acoustic “play-in-the-background-while-I-eat-pasta-with-my-girlfriend” music being played by UK radio and TV stations, he wrote BS Indie Song one morning in order to demonstrate how structurally simplistic the genre of music is. The result became a cult classic tune across the land, often performed by disillusioned guitar playing students while drinking themselves stupid on wine before and/or after a night out. This particular recording was made on Saturday 18th May, 2002 at 9:38pm in Richard’s bedroom in 22 Goddard Avenue, Hull while local children hot wired a red Ford Escort in the supermarket car park behind the house. Lyrics I wanna be a folk singer So I'll write myself a song Pick up my old guitar And start to strum along I'm in to David Gray I'm into Travis too I just hope that someday I can write the songs that they do So I put a bit of e-minor in my song And I put a bit of G, D and C in my song But just enough to sing along So sing along I don't believe in rock and roll It makes my ears bleed Just an acoustic guitar And my voice are all I need I write my songs on cliches My lyrics aren't my own But my record contract guarantees I'm gonna be well known Cos I put a bit of e-minor in my song And I put a bit of G, D and C in my song But just enough to sing along So sing along I'm not very good on guitar And I can't really sing It's fortunate that in this world Talent isn't everything I hope you folks are listening I hope you understand I just didn't have enough friends To form a proper band But I put a bit of e-minor in my song And I put a bit of G, D and C in my song But just enough to sing along So sing along
