Get in to: Danny Wallace






Okay, so, he's not really an artist as *such* but i recently fell in love with the Lovely National Anthem again, and spent like two hours converting it from stupid Real One video stream to mp3. But now i know how and *can* so yay! Anyway.
For those who don't know him, Danny's a fantastic comedian type dude, hehe. He co-wrote Are You Dave Gorman? and went on to write the true stories of other crazy adventures involving his "accidental cult" in Join Me! and his attempts at a more positive life with Yes Man.
His most recent adventure though, was the creation of his own country. This was all followed on his BBC2 programme, How To Start Your Own Country which followed his plight to not only amass a huge following of 'citizens' but also attempt entry into the European Union and, of even greater importance, the Eurovision Song contest. Below you'll find the National Anthem for the country, at the end of the series named Lovely, as well as the fantastic Eurovision entry song which, sadly, despite the lyrics "It's time to save the planet and the dolphins on crack" was not put through to the main contest. Oh well, there's always next year...
