Ouch weblog: individual blog entry

3 May 07, 10:17 AM - New Wheels on the Block

Posted by Crippled Monkey

Remember, the Ouch blog is always looking for priceless disability-related gems you've spotted on the ever popular video-sharing site and Suzy Byrne from Dublin has sent us a superb example.

Boys on Wheels, from Norway, are a singing trio like no other. They are all wheelchair users, their singing is not especially at home to Mr Harmony, their taste in humour is, um, a little dubious, and their adaptation of lyrics to well-known pop songs has to be heard to be believed.

In the clip below they can be heard covering Bryan Adams' power ballad Heaven - "Baby you're all that I want / But you're living on the fifth floor / I'm finding it hard to get there / In my wheelchair" - and Bon Jovi's Living on a Prayer - "Oh oh, the hunk is here / Oh oh, he's living in a wheelchair". Only A-ha's classic '80s hit Take On Me - "I'm rolling away / Because my legs are ... not okay / I think every day / There are guys with bigger problems" - strikes a completely wrong tone, as it degenerates into some frankly horrible homophobia that they could really do without. Cut that out, guys, and you could be a hit. You have been warned ...

Note: If you can't see the above video, you can also on the YouTube website. But be warned! Comments left by other YouTube users can sometimes be offensive and contain strong language.
