Nisa, the lyrics are devastating--I hope you are feeling better soon.
With this kind of lyrical and musical power behind them, TISM (This Is Serious, Mum) has the potential to be a fantastic band. (Of course, this is just my opinion).
Everyone else has had more sex than me
Does anyone else get that feeling?
Teenagers, naked, couple in threes;
Grandparents swing from the ceiling;
Corporate capers and office amour;
Shenanigans outdoor and in -
Resist, and then later you find out there's more
Regret in not doing the sin.
All loves have to die - of that there's no help;
My favourite way to end em'
Is the orb-weaver spider's, whose pedipalp
Enters the female pudendum,
Then dies on the spot, his corpse there still stuck,
Left for his rivals to curse it.
He would rather die than not get to f**k:
Personally, I reckon it's worth it.

I so totally agree. I saw this little Flash video and while cute, combined with the lyrics and the band is awesome... I really did almost tear up at the end. It's awesome when something like this can make you laugh your ass off but then feel a ton of empathy, "The Oh I've so been there" feeling afterwards.
Do you know if TISM has a record(s) out if so what is the album name?

I think "Everyone Has Had More Sex Than Me" appears on The White Albun(with an 'n'). I searched my local record store, but they do not carry any TISM cds.  Amazon listed: WwwdotTismdotWankerdotCom (a box set), De Rigeurmortis, Great Truckin' Songs of the Renaissance, Beasts of Suburban and Gentlemen, Start Your Egos--with titles like that, I might have to special order.

There is apparently two versions of this video... one is a "radio edit" version that doesn't end with the bunny in tears. Hard to say which one I like better.
