"Are the Other Plans Secure?!" - Marsh Family parody of Jet's "Are You Gonna Be My Girl" on US leak

A rather hasty Easter holiday response to the bizarre news of the US military intelligence leak – and a first chance to put Alfie through his paces since a successful heart operation in the past weeks which means he’s even better than he was before (though has been doing some online gaming...)!

So here’s our parody of “Are You Gonna Be My Girl”, the retro-sounding but very pumping Australian rock track released in 2003, written by Nic Cester and Cameron Muncey. We stuck some nice vintage reverb on the girls – but had to film them stuck in the corner, for which apologies.

The references are from the US-side of the pond for once, given yesterday’s arrest by the FBI in Massachusetts of the young leader of an online chat and gaming group who had leaked dozens of documents revealing US assessments of the war in Ukraine and sensitive secrets. And before someone tells us that “Black Ops 3” is now an ancient computer shoot-em-up game – we do know this, but it just scanned best for the lyrics.

Lyrics:

[Verse 1]
So one, two, three
Take my hand and come with me
Because you shared some files
That were really very classified
I’d say you look surprised
And it really wasn’t authorised

[Verse 2]
Oh, four, five, six
State secrets in the mix
Now it don’t seem so funny
When you get locked up, does it, buddy?

[Pre-Chorus]
Big chatrooms, teenage dares
He's just leaked US war affairs

[Chorus]
Well, you should be playing “Black Ops 3”
But you upset the Pentagon, yeah
I know Ukraine’s quite far away
But it’s not like some stupid game, yeah
I said, are the other plans secure?

[Verse 3]
So one, two, three
Say, what kind of military
Requires the FBI
To go looking for a cyber spy?
Or maybe not a spy
Just a really clumsy intel guy

[Verse 4]
Oh, they should fix
Who gets to see the pics
Never mind AI
It’s on WhatsApp from the pizza guy

[Pre-Chorus]
Big chatrooms, teenage dares
“Call of Duty” don’t mean much there!

[Chorus]
Well, you should be playing “Black Ops 3”
But you upset the Pentagon, yeah
I know Ukraine’s quite far away
But it’s not like some stupid game, yeah
I said, are the other plans secure?

[Bridge]
Oh yeah
Oh yeah
Come on
