your very own geek rock superstar
in Australia
woop
thank you, this is like incredibly exciting
thank you so so much for having me on stage with you
thanks for playing with us
I better not screw this up, haha
we're big fans of Meri and we asked her
if we could play with her and she said yes so
what you're seeing here is a Supanova first
and a first for any of us really
yeah, let's have fun
what's the song called Meri?
it's a song called Beat The Game and
it's actually got an audience participation part that is amazing
ok, if you guys get into it, right?
it's very simple and if you do it right
then you'll scare everyone off and that's what we want, ok
so, basically it's a song about computer games, right?
do we have gamers? Do we have a gaming audience right now?
we've got a few people going 'yes!'
well, it's very simple, the audience participation part
is, when I sing 'no way' you sing 'no way'
when I sing 'go away' you sing 'go away'
and the louder you do it, the more enthusiastically
the more people outside will feel ostricised
so, definitely get into it, for that reason
wanna try it? One more time, wanna try it?
we're gonna do the crowd participation piece right here
test it out, show us how good you are, ready?
'no way', 'no way', 'go away', 'go away'
*chatter* are you really happy with that?
I am not happy, I think you guys can do better than that, ok
I personally think you can do better, prove me right and him wrong
ok, ready? Ready?
'no way', 'no way', 'go away', 'go away'
see, see, don't doubt Australians
don't doubt Australians

life said 'do the housework'
I said 'I'm saving the world'
life said 'wash your old socks'
life said 'I'm busy on the Xbox'
life said 'write your notes up'
I said 'time for candy crush'
life said 'the test is next week'
I said 'I'll hack into your grade sheet'
no way 'no way', go away 'go away'
I'm not gonna stop 'til I beat the game
no way 'no way', go away 'go away'
I'm not gonna stop 'til I beat the game
oh oh oh oh oh oh

life said 'you're wasting hours on nothing'
I said 'hand-eye co-ordination'
life said 'you have to get a real job'
I said 'I couldn't hear you over Sega'
life said ''get off that web page'
I said 'I'll verse you in a two-play'
life said 'you'll have to take a pay cut'
I said 'soz, I've used all of your download up'
no way 'no way', go away 'go away'
I'm not gonna stop 'til I beat the game
no way 'no way', go away 'go away'
I'm not gonna stop 'til I beat the game
oh oh oh oh oh oh
I'm not gonna stop 'til I beat the game
oh oh oh oh oh oh
cause I'm Mario, Lara Croft and I'm building my Sims a loft
and I'm in a war with aliens and wizards and dragons
and there's super powers, turbo jets, plants and zombies, grand theft
and I'm filling up these stadiums and Bowser is punching way above his weight
with Peach
no way 'no way', go away 'go away'
I'm not gonna stop 'til I beat the game
no way 'no way', go away 'go away'
I'm not gonna stop 'til I beat the game
oh oh oh oh oh oh
I'm not gonna stop 'til I beat the game
oh oh oh oh oh oh
I'm not gonna stop 'til I beat the game
oh oh oh oh oh oh
I'm not gonna stop 'til I beat the game
oh oh oh oh oh oh
I'm not gonna stop 'til I beat the game
