Interesting Information =

This is Mark Tiderman reporting from the Pittsburgh Civic Arena. I am here today to witness the band called the NonMetals, perform their greatest hit, Bromine. I'm backstage now with the lead singer Kelium Kiddo. Kiddo, hi I'm Mark Tiderman from Music radio. How about answering a few questions for us. All right Dude, That sounds great. But we got to get this over pretty quick, man me and the other elements got to go do some stage rockin' baby. O.K. Can you tell the viewers why you chose Bromine to do your song on. Of course, man. It's because its so appealing to me. I mean, anything that you can put in swimming pools and spas to sanitize them, is worthy of writing a song about, to me. And you've got to admit that being able to be used as fumigants, and flame proofing agents too, that's just awesome. O.K.

Hey Bromine you're so fine you're so fine you blow my mind. 
Hey Bromine (clap) (clap), (clap) Hey Bromine
Oh Bromine what a pity, you don't understand
You're an ugly, red liquid, and you smell really bad
Oh Bromine what a pity, you don't understand 
It's elements like you Bromine
Oh when you do Bromine, do Bromine
Don't break my flask, Bromine
Hey Bromine you're so fine you're so fine you blow my mind. 
Hey Bromine (clap) (clap), (clap) Hey Bromine
