...and don't forget Susanna Hoffs! Funny thing, last summer when I saw
Matt Sweet play here, he didn't do "BBC" - but Karl Wallinger and his
mates in World Party did. Karl said they'd been watching Austin Powers
a lot on their tour bus, so one night he surprised the rest of the band
by ripping into "BBC" on stage...and it became part of their set! Not
much to the song itself, basically 3 chords: D, A, E

Play D - D - A - A - E before each line of verse,
guitar tacit during lyics

Missus...

Will ya?

Make me tea?

Make love to me!

Put on the telly...

To the BBC!

(The same chord pattern above continues through the chorus,
with a bit more instrumental frenzy)

To the BBC, yeah, yeah, yeah

BBC One, BBC Two, BBC Three, BBC Four, BBC Five,
BBC Six, BBC Seven, BBC Heaven!!!!

as for a suitably mod lead during the chorus, you can play
a couple notes on one string, sliding the D note up to E,
droning over and over (ala "I Can See For Miles")

e------------|-----------|-----------
B--3/5--5--5-|-3/5--5--5-|-3/5--5--5-
G------------|-----------|-----------
D------------|-----------|-----------
A------------|-----------|-----------
E------------|-----------|-----------
