Once upon a time there were three English lads who thought it would be a lark to form a pop band.

Once upon a time there were three English lads who thought it would be a lark to form a pop band. They recruited three other eager chaps who shared a fondness for music and a good sense of humor, chose a silly name, and went off to find Fame and Fortune. The unlikely occurred, and Fame and Fortune were home when the six came by, and granted the boys’ wish. As everyone from the Grimm Brothers to the Rolling Stones knows, you can’t always get what you want, and if a genje offers you three wishes, best use one of them to put the genie solidly back in the bottle. But our stalwart band needed to find this out for themselves.

Soon this lark got out of hand. The lads became tired of living inside a private joke that no one else got. Everyone was taking them soooo seriously. The party was over.
