Coldplay’s New Album: “McDonald’s: Over 4 Billion Served”

May 24, 2005

in uncategorized

Chris Martin goes tongue-in-cheek in this quickie interview in the Intelligencer: “We study the most popular products and we try to sing about it as much as possible. That’s why the next album is called McDonald’s: Over 4 Billion Served.’ Reminded of the chain’s recent offer to pay rappers to name-check burgers in their songs, Martin composes one on the spot: ‘I’ve tried heroin, and I’ve tried crack, but nothing gets me high like a big Big Mac.’ You think it’ll work? I just earned $50.”

I hate him. He tries to desperately to be like Thom Yorke, it’s pathetic really.

let’s be honest for a second. chris martin wouldn’t know what a sense of humor was if it shat in his mouth.

you’re all fucking idiots, especially you spencer. chris martin is for sure funny and for sure doing alot better than you, spencer.

Obviously you’ve never heard a Chirs Martin interview then, because he is quite humorous. Thom Yorke on the other hand hasn’t said anything funny since 1995.

Thom yorke needn’t be funny, It’s about the music, I for one, am very fond of his work and find that every cheap copy or ‘wannabe’as they are called nowadays, are a threat to the human race and should be exterminated…

Ever seen the Jonathan Ross interview with Thom and Jonny? A lot funnier than mr Martin.
