You Tool geek. Now you all know the band and I'm not putting down as after a 14 hour shift thinking of a song to replace it is to much hard work. So pull your fingers out. I have to agree with Pere that Tool are quite good, they're almost Prog Rock, so now you'll have to listen to some of their work.
That's the first time I've heard the term 'Tool geek'.
Lol!
Ehm, someone start a new song? I'm out of time and inspiration here.

Tool has some great songs but I'm not able to buy them because I am underage and their albums are hard enough to find anyways.. Eek, this post belongs in the Tool thread that doesn't exist (Ohh Pere 
).
If it's okay with everyone I can post the new song.

I haven't a clue whatsoever. And I've never heard of Tool either, but that's quite normal.

Hmmm. Hello? Anyone have any idea? I thought it was rather well-known. 
Hint: the group initials are TGGD.

The Goo Goo Dolls!!
It is the Goo Goo Dolls, and the song is "Iris" from 1998.
Alright, try this one on for size:
I realize that this one is very easy for most of us, but there may be some of the younger members here that have not heard it or don't know it...that seems impossible to me.

Well of course, the wonderful Led Zep - Stairway to Heaven. Shame on you youngsters like me who didn't know that.....
Hmm, now, what about...
Did you ever seem to have one of those days
When everyone seemed to be on your case
From your teacher all the waydown to your best girlfriend
Well, that used to happen to me all the time
But I found a way to get out of it
Most of the younger members probably haven't heard of this band, but they're one of my favourites
(How did you guys not know that Tommie's was The Goo Goo Dolls? [the lead singer is so hot. ahem.])

So it was, so it was.
But I have no clue as to yours Rawien, sorry.
Rawien, try as I might, this old brain cannot tap into its own limited resources...can we have another verse or a clue?
I think Rawien's would be Motley Crue's Smokin’ in the boys room.
OMG, I have not heard that song in twenty years! Good memory, Grondmaster, I believe you are right! What a relic of a song! Now, if Rawien's not coming back to confirm our guesses, do we carry the thread on from here?
Tis Grondy's turn
Forgive me Grondy, but may I take a try at this game? Do you guys remember this one?
Well I remember every little thing as if it happened yesterday.
Parking by the lake and there was not another car in sight.
And I never had a girl lookin' any better than you did.
And all the kids at school they were wishing they were me that night.

That's either a Golden Oldie, or it has never been broadcasted in New ZEaland, cause I've nveer heard of it. Then again, I never used to be the greatest at knowing what songs are what.
If that ain't good old Meat Loaf. Paradise by the dashboard lights. Great song.
Now please take your turn master Grond because I just ran out of lyrics.

Here are a couple more lines to Rhodry's song:
"Seems like nothin' ever comes to no good up on Chaktau Ridge
And now Billy Joe McAllister's jumped off the Talahatchi Bridge."
"Seems like nothin' ever comes to no good up on Chaktau Ridge
And now Billy Joe McAllister's jumped off the Talahatchi Bridge."
And it was written and sung by Bobbie Gentry.
