A band called The Cuban Boys have written a song about Kylie. It is called 'Cosmic Kylie' and is very good indeed. I believe it is going to be the B-side of their new single. A 64 kbs mp3 of the song can be downloaded from LiMBO or the Cuban Boys homepage.

This is what Ric of The Cuban Boys has to say about the song:

"It is a celebration of Kylie, who is impeccably ace, and a celebration of pop music in general. Kylie turns out to be God herself at the end of the song. We originally wrote it for Kylie to sing herself, but either a) She didn't like it or b) It was just too darned postmodern"

Kylie the Alien

 

Cosmic Kylie by The Cuban Boys

 

Streamlined, dramatic, archaic - fantastic!
The space age, excessive and fun.
Through TV and movies (but mostly pop music) I learned all I ever could want.
You believe! As the stars keep shining.
You believe in the afterlife.
You believe I can take you skywards.
I believe that you're right
Because I'm the girl you have seen in visions and dreams I am your Cosmic Kylie
Up on posters and walls, convenience stores, I am your Cosmic Kylie
I will see you all well, postmodern as hell, I am your Cosmic Kylie
Take it all girls and boys, utopian joy, take it from Cosmic Kylie
Space junk comes crashing through windows of my house by light of a billion suns.
Somewhere way out there you know there's inhabited planets of bubblegum.
Build me up to icon status
Build me up - I won't let you down
Build me up, cos I can take it!
Build me up to knock me down
Cos I'm a product of pop - a media prop known as Cosmic Kylie
An exercise and a scheme - a marketing dream - branded as Cosmic Kylie
Come to me for the truth, if lost and aloof I'll be your Cosmic Kylie
I'm just here to be used, ignored or abused. Everybody's Cosmic Kylie.
Take a walk with me over open seas and I'll tell you what I've learnt
In a vague sort of way that leaves room for debate and to get your fingers burnt.
At your own risk follow me to the bliss of self worth and inner calm
We will worship sunsets and explain the inexplicable with flawed logic and charm.
Because I'm much more than a star - I'm an actual star! Worship at Cosmic Kylie!
This! Much more than a song! A hymn all along, deifying Cosmic Kylie.
I'm the spark in your fire, your guiding messiah. All hail Cosmic Kylie!
Watch while planets collide - I will survive - I am Cosmic Kylie!
