My First Fan Post: The Musical

In C & C, a comment thread- inspired by Danny's 'Raiders Plunder' article- flowed, as they do. I made a quip about Men At Work's The Land Down Under rhyming 'plunder' with many words ( including ' chunder' meaning: to puke in Aussie-speak), which led to a play on the chorus of the song by 99-percent-sure. I, then, being a smart-ass, tried my hand at a verse.

The gauntlet was thrown by cameronparker7: a challenge to do the whole song. So, Cam P., this is your fault. And my first fan post. Oh, and 99's Chorus is in there, see If you can spot it
