        In light of the recent traffic in their beloved newsgroup, Argent and Aura decide to return to their makeshift stage.

        "We're going to slow it down a little now," Aura says.

        "Here's an oldie for you," continues Argent. "If you know the words to the chorus, and I'm sure you do, why don't you sing along."

        And together they play:

All You Need Is Spam
By Argent and Aura
(c) 1996

Spam, Spam, Spam.
Spam, Spam, Spam.
Spam, Spam, Spam.

There's nothing you can do that wasn't done. Nothing you can send that isn't dumb.
Nothing you can say but who cares how you trash the net. It's easy.

Nothing you can post that won't be killed. No group you can use that won't be filled. Nothing you can say but who cares how you piss people off. It's easy.

Chorus:
All you need is spam.
All you need is spam.
All you need is spam, spam.
Spam is all you need.

Chorus

Nothing you can know that isn't bull.
Nothing you can write that isn't dull.
Nowhere you can be that can't be mailbombed like you need. It's easy.

Chorus

All you need is spam. (Argent: All together, now!) All you need is spam. (Everybody!)
All you need is spam, spam.
Spam is all you need. (spam is all you need).

Yee-hai!
Oh yeah!
We hate it, yeah yeah yeah.
We hate it, yeah yeah yeah.
