Color with a U

You've probably been in a band like this. This is the kind of band that thinks the Canadian spelling of 'colour' is somehow inherently funny; that would write a theme song and then fill it with staged laughing, bongo drums, unfunny jokes, funny jokes and a folk rock jam breakdown somewhere in the middle; that makes every chorus anthemic, even when it shouldn't be. This is the kind of band that would drag a song out an extra two minutes so as to immunize it against sounding too serious or sincere (even adding someone saying "Oh, we're so goofy" in a sarcastic voice at the end of song). I'm also pretty sure that this is the sort of band that would enter a high school talent competition and lose, even though everyone (including the judges) knew they should probably win.

Colourbook - Ten Tendencies
Colourbook - Theme Song

More than anything, though, this band has some potential for awesomeness. And badness. With any luck, the tendency towards the former will prevail.
