[Intro]
FAWM, our yearly crusade
These are the mishaps of five A's with no lives
It's one month side trip
To write down odd new words
To lay down new notes
And arrange orchestrations
To boldly write what no one should have written in the first place
[Verse 1]
5 strangers met online
2 of them were normal
They got to talking late one night
We should make this union formal
[Pre-Chorus]
D is for the damn good song we all know we can write
C is the camaraderie hope an Andy doesn’t bite
[Verse 2]
Sometimes one of us is angry
one of us has angst
one of us has anxiety
Sometimes one of us is argumentative
One of us is astrological
one of us is AOL
one of us is AWOL
[Pre-Chorus]
B is for blah blah blah blah just like the lyrics that I write
A is for our anthem it’s clean outta sight!
[Chorus]
We’re the A Team
A Team
A Team
Oh we’re so sorry
But we’re the A Team
[Verse 3]
One of us is an aunt
One of us is antagonistic
Some of us are failed athletes
Probably should be keeping better track of this
[Pre-Chorus]
Some of us are accountants
Some of us failed as architects
All of us are awkward
But we're all first in line
[Chorus]

Yeah, I can't get over how much this feels like you were gathering in person. Totally feels like a reunion of friends. Such generous sharing of roles, and all the good feels! A Team will always at the front of the line! :D
@chipwithrow Apr 2022
Since @andygetch mentioned this in a thread as a favorite, I had to listen, and I'm so glad I did. Such wild, good fun in my headphones!
@elainedimasi Mar 2022
How did I miss this before now?
Laughing in delight at the real chorus. You made me wait almost two and a half minutes to hear it, darn your A's!
@trombonewyo Mar 2022
Absolutely an astounding and amazing anthem!
@audrey Mar 2022
Oh, this is so entertaining. Love that last line in your intro. Ha ha What a fun song. Really enjoyed it.
@mosley Feb 2022
I love how it sounds like you’re all in the same room, really great collaboration, totally fun lyrics too
@kenmattsson Feb 2022
I cannot tell you how much I love this. Great job everyone!
@heliosonorous Feb 2022
Catchy and fun track, much enjoyed!
@elesimo Feb 2022
So good! I wish my name started with an A... :(
@guatecoop Feb 2022
So cool to hear everyone on this! Such a fun song!
@headfirstonly Feb 2022
Absolutely awesome! And additionally, all appropriate alliteration. Amusing, apposite, and also adept!
(Applause)
@esc4p3 Feb 2022
This is just great, turned the fun factor up to 11. This is the new normal :-)
@toms Feb 2022
Ba da ba da da da!!!! :) Grinning maniacally from this!
@adnama17 Feb 2022
Hey now........ those liner notes are suspect...
@feb21sundari Feb 2022
Wow how cool. A musical discussion with some conclusions. Awesome teamwork. Sounds lively like Arrested Development.
@ductapeguy Feb 2022
Efffffin AAAAA! That is awesome. Fantastic! This could only come out of FAWM. Henceforth the 5 of you will be known as "The A in FAWM".
@amelea Feb 2022
What an interesting idea to count down from D to A ha-- I was like wait did I miss the ABC then like oh nope it's backwards... interesting
Love this so much!! The conversation idea of it works really well, lots of fun listening to you call each other (and yourselves) out
@nadine Feb 2022
I am so happy, that this is not the A-team from Ed Sheeran. I love these super collabs on FAWM and I hope that more will take place. This song is as meta as this platform could be. So many puns. Just an A+, cause you guys are enjoying yourselves.
@aeye Feb 2022
This was so much fun to do. I'm definitely not the normal one. Or am I? Will we ever know?!
@stephenwordsmith Feb 2022
This is so much fun. While it doesn't have the polish of the great supergroups of 2009, it has a lot more self-awareness. I enjoyed the way your diverse contributions all came together, and the clever catalogues of 'A' attributes and how they apply to you all. I was trying to work out who is who, but got mainly stuck after all the ones that applied to Amanda - I think I've been hanging around the Slack chat too long.
The mystery of '2 of them were normal' is going to keep me up at night, though. Are you sure it was that many?
