Feb 2022 pop-punk
the very first hurdle of the day
a brand new wordle for me to play
what is gonna be my starting word?
gonna find a goodun get ahead of the herd
audio radio video stare
getting in the zone now shine and flair
it's so philosophical weird i swear
doing being think solve and share
oh yeah, on a 4 week streak!
it's the sourdough of omicron and all the rage
wordlers in their millions flock to the page
the viral sensation with the spoiler-free grid and
you only see the colours cos the letters are hidden
audio radio video stare
getting in the zone now shine and flair
it's so philosophical weird i swear
doing being think solve and share
i'm gonna whack your sugar
in the abbey on the knoll
wince at the tangy drink now
do me a favor!
do you need a proxy?
out there in the shire
all of a solar panic
mount your robot!
keeping perky
making stories from the words and trying to make sense still
you know my mate does hers with paper and a pencil!
the american spelling caused an uproar over here
or a letter in there twice.. what? savage!
audio radio video stare
getting in the zone now shine and flair
it's so philosophical weird i swear
doing being think solve and share
adieu

Very topical! Good one!
@fearlessflight2014 Mar 2022
I’ve managed to stay away from Wordle as I don’t need anymore leeches on my timeline, but this song is sorely tempting me to check out. I’m probably missing the subtleties because I don’t play but it’s still brimming with your wit and musically it just ticks along so nicely! Great work, Wobbie!
@robynmackenzie Mar 2022
“It’s the sourdough of omicron” is hilarious! This is cracking me up and that chorus is amazing. You perfectly capture the game with a spot-on pop-punk performance. Well done!
@pippa Mar 2022
I love this. Great stuff.
@mosley Feb 2022
As a Wordle addict, I absolutely love this hahaha! Totally fun piece
@hbusse Feb 2022
This is so awesome and hilarious. MOUNT YOUR ROBOT!
@guatecoop Feb 2022
Oh my, I've heard about this song all over the place and I can see why! Your topical sensibilities are just top notch. I swear that you could take the most mundane topic and come at it in a fashion that is a combination of novel, revealing, and hilarious. This is exactly that. I don't think much about them and really only heard about them on the Tuesday night zoom....until my wife has asked me to help her with hers over the last week! So many lines in this one and a cool and catchy song to go with it!. I think my favorite was "the sourdough of Omicron"....hahaha....such a line completely LOADED with meaning. Well done!
@brisk Feb 2022
This is the goods - I've only just become aware of wordle. I think you capture the joys pretty well. Love the chorus, proper earworm material. Also the guitars are great. The whole thing is playful and lovely.I don't know if it is just a temporary glitch but try as I might just now I could only hear about the first 70 seconds.
@andrea Feb 2022
The title caught my eye. This feels just like it suggests. That was a fun and zany ride. Love it!
@tamsnumber4 Feb 2022
I have no idea of what it really is, but I believe in you and know you are laying it all out for us. I love the upbeat track and hearing you again and love the chorus!
@wolfkier Feb 2022
Sorry to have taken so long, my friend... Wordle is a thing?
I'd know nothing about popular culture, sports, or British history without you, Wobbs. :)
It's a great track full of bounce and light hearted energy, that had me dancing in my chair.
@jess Feb 2022
'mount your robot !!!' :-)
@jess Feb 2022
Yeah !!! love it ! thanks :-)
@jibbidy34 Feb 2022
Wow Wobs!! What a strong start to FaWM. Righteous punk tastic vibes - loving those layered vox in the choruses. This is such clever wordsmithery - I don’t have enough adjectives!!! That chorus is so so so so catchy. The song has ended now and I’m still singing audio radio video stare… woop!
@ayehahmur Feb 2022
'kin 'ell, Wobbie. Literally spat my tea out at "mount your robot".
Love this. Huge amounts of fun with the words as ever, brilliant capturing of the current moment, and the chorus is proper chantalong perfection.
Basically, it's Great (Super, Witty and Droll)
@tunecat Feb 2022
Fantastic!!
@elesimo Feb 2022
Hahahahaha, Wobbie this is genious! I love the use of the recent words (I recognized knoll, proxy, shire, and solar), and I like to start with either "audio" or "atone". Love the song, I need to share this with my wordle friends!
@sw1n3flu Feb 2022
Smashed it out of the park. Lyrically badass and unorthodox flow… unless you’re in the wobbiewobbit know… of course. Loved it, have already listened before yet didn’t comment? I must have a screw loose.
@kendrakinsey Feb 2022
so so fun! haha and i remember a few of those wordles too
@karlsburg25 Feb 2022
Oh do i dare venture anywhere near this wordle thing??? Anyway music wise i adore this, defo up my street with regards to rocking out and i can imagine chanting "audio radio video stare" in a mosh pit bouncing my ass off. Can't believe you got 4 on the go. Fantastic.
@aprilm Feb 2022
This is great! I love it! Love all the wordle words! Adieu!
@timfatchen Feb 2022
Dammit it's now hooked me too. You've got this sorted wobbie!
@nahlej381 Feb 2022
This has an adicts feel to it. Love it
@cleanshoes Feb 2022
"The sourdough of omicron"! Ha! As a relatively new convert to the pleasures of wordle, this is a delight. Your integration of puzzle answers is brilliant. So much fun.
@kahlo2013 Feb 2022
Perfect! You capture the wordle craze and addiction perfectly! Love that you used many wordle words!
@davidtaro Feb 2022
Pressing play on one of yours is a guarantee you'll be smiling within 10 seconds. For this one, it was the moment you just start hurling random five letter words into the ether, which I guess is the kind of madness that this game instils. Anyway, it works surprisingly well as a punk-pop chorus! I also very much enjoyed 'keeping perky' and 'adieu'. Lovely touches.
@airbagtester Feb 2022
Clever :) I think I know just enough about Wordle to guess which of the words came from the game and which did not, but I'm not sure. And I think "sourdough of omicron" is the "Breakfast of Champions" of catch phrases.
@kovbleu Feb 2022
Wobbie, you do it like nobody else. I actually refuse myself to even look into what it is because I have too many distractions/addictions as it is. But this is so witty and clever and "it's the sourdough of omicron" takes the cake for me. Like what a strange world we live in that those random nonsensical words make sense to all of us. 15 years from now someone'd be like "whaaa?" Amazing start to FAWM!
@jeff9 Feb 2022
No idea what Wordle is or what exactly is going on here, but this cracks me up. It's absolute genius. Makes us all want to hang out with you, Wobbie.
@jonmeta Feb 2022
I’m a wordful wordler too and i love that you thought of this and developed it in such a clever way with real answers from the past and the American spelling no one was expecting... and the 5-letter word salad, haha. Have you seen Brian Bilson’s contributions? Well done, I adore it.
@gwyn1234 Feb 2022
Blimey O'Reilly! This is so spot on and clever as well as super catchy...unbelievably good! I haven't caught the Wordle bug yet but I did used to play the four letter word game a lot...is it like that plus one letter?
@blindkiwi Feb 2022
I can resist the game but I couldn't resist this. You have nailed it again Wobbie :D
@gammafied Feb 2022
As all always you deliver relatable, catchy, and hilarious. I haven't done Wordle, but my friends have. So many 5-letter words. The american bit is funny, but true. "sourdough of omicron"
@coolparadiso Feb 2022
Smack on the hot topic! Up to your classy best!
@mikeb Feb 2022
A crazy funny song. No idea what Wordle really is although I see people posting it all the time, but you seemed to have captured the zaniness perfectly!
@cabinmonster Feb 2022
Whoo hoo!! Fabulous!! I simply love it. Love the energy. Love how you string all those 5 letter words together. Mount your robot really made me laugh out loud!!!! Just brilliant!
@tawny249 Feb 2022
Nicely handled. Love the catchiness and the concept, lots of good 5-letter words. And yes, including letters twice is savage.
@johnstaples Feb 2022
Wobbie, I love this almost as much as I love Wordle! Extremely clever lyrics that have also given me new words to start with (currently I start with PRIVY STEAM CLOUD). Your performance sells it completely! And I love, Love, LOVE the title!
This song should be the official Wordle song! You should call the New York Times (new Wordle owner)!
@cindyrella Feb 2022
I love it! So good in every way! Fab!
@mikeskliar Feb 2022
Fantastic!!! I just started last week (don't tell anyone!) and I love how many great five letter words you've hidden in here. This is wonderful in every respect, performance, production, writing and energy! Or should i say you shine, it's great, go teams, very witty, sweet, and saucy!
@mandolinda Feb 2022
I quiet or alien or arose. Then anyone’s guess.
You nailed it. With the double consonant day.
Fantastic song here Wobbie.
@metalfoot Feb 2022
LOL. I can relate to this song.
@sorby69 Feb 2022
Ah Wobbie this is wonderful - so catchy & funny!
@pearlmanhattan Feb 2022
Perky! Catchy! Well done! I enjoy how you make lyrics flow no matter the words.
@kenmattsson Feb 2022
This seemed to be classic WobbieWobbit: Fun lyrics, driving beat, and all around fun. I enjoyed this and how you put in so many 5 letter words.
@serene123 Feb 2022
So fun wobbie.. I've no idea about wordle but I got this... Bridge is fantastic!! So creative ️
@gordon Feb 2022
Another excellent start to proceedings Wobbie. Catchy and sing-along too. Who could ask for more? More of this type of thing please!
@bradbrubaker Feb 2022
"Audio" is my starting word. Very clever inside joke of a bridge. Dying to know what the American-spelled word was. Do tell! Enjoyed this.
@seanbrennan Feb 2022
Maddeningly catchy. The cadence of the lyrics really sells the mindset. Loved listening!
@richaaaay Feb 2022
Oh Wobbie, so great to hear a new song from you. I've actually never played Wordle but just yesterday my daughter, who is in college, texted all hyped up about Wordle. She wants to play a daily game with her parents. I thought, how cool is that...Sign me up. Then, here comes your first song of 2022...Bingo! So timely and so well done. I imagine the nuances of your song will become more meaningful to me once I get some games under my belt. I'll have to revisit it again soon...
@fuzzy Feb 2022
I know nothing about Wordle (by choice).
And yet I greatly enjoyed your song.
Oh yeah, those Americans don't know how to spell correctly, do they?
This is so catchy and wonderful!
Well done!
@thedutchwidows Feb 2022
Super fun, and has some handy hints for excellent starting words! The delivery of 'keeping perky' made me laugh out loud.
@dragondreams Feb 2022
If anyone had asked me who could possibly capture our current cultural zeitgeist, I would have said "Wobbie Wobbitt" in a flash.
You, my wonderful friend, are a genius!
@gm7 Feb 2022
So current.....This is cool. Five letter word to describe this:
o o o o o
s w e e t
@jtsteam Feb 2022
I bet you had fun finding all those five letter words! This is great. You got my favourite starting word in too :).
@bethdesombre Feb 2022
The perfect song for our current national obsession. LOVE how you use all the five-letter words. and the bridge is genius!
