NR: The song is about rejection at the school disco - have any of you been rejected by a girl before?
Charlie: I was rejected!
Matt and James: Ha - rejected!
Charlie: Her name was Daisy Bell, she rejected me at a disco and my friends ripped it out of me!
Matt: You asked her to dance, and what did she say?
Charlie: She said - I'll get my friends. Maybe she wanted a communal dance.
Matt: Yeah - I'll get my friends - that's I want to dance but I don't want it to look like I'm dancing on my own with you!
James: That's treating you badly - making you believe that she's trying to be nice!
Matt: Was is a slow song or a fast one?
Charlie: It was a slowy...
Matt: So you weren't all going to have a massive group hug and roll around the dance floor!
Charlie: It was awful, I should have gone for her sister!

NR: Your album takes the mick out of celebs in songs like Britney and Dawson's Geek and is pretty funny. Do you think some people make music too serious?

All: Yes! Way too serious!
Charlie: It depends on what kind of music you're talking about. Pop music is too serious. It's pop music! In a certain genre of music it's fine to be depressive if you want to be depressive but it pop music it's too much.
James: I'm not really into being depressed when I'm listening to music. There are some songs that some people think are depressive but I just like them to chill out to. Some people would say Coldplay are depressive but I love Coldplay to chill out to.
Charlie: I really like depressing music as long as it's really emotional. That's fine but pop music isn't that type of music and it's written to have fun with.

NR: You guys have achieved the ultimate school kid dream of forming a band and getting famous - how does this make you feel?
Matt: How does it make us feel to have achieved?
Charlie: Achievement comes when we get an award - we've got a Brava award in our lounge - that's an achievement.
James: And the platinum record which hasn't even arrived yet! They were giving one away on a TV show before we even had one.
Matt: They gave what away?
James: They gave a platinum disc away before we even had one!
Matt: They did what? To who??!
James: A winner.
Matt: You are kidding - I still haven't got one!
James: The first time I saw it was on the telly!
Matt: Did it look good?
James: Yeah.
Matt: We get some cash sometimes too.
James: If we perform well they give us a cash bonus, our management do.
Matt: Yeah they say 'whoever performs the best in this one gets £100!' - it's a great incentive. And Charlie's about to buy a Porsche!
Charlie: A Boxter, that's all I can get insured on, but it's a Porsche!

NR: You've also got loads of female fans - do you find that weird?
Charlie: It's weird.
Matt: It is weird to have lots of fans.
James: I think it's wicked - I love it!
Matt: It is weird but it's brilliant.

NR: Loads of e-mails have come in to us saying 'Do you have girlfriends?'
James: No!
Charlie: Unfortunately not - I'm looking.
Matt: No, I am on the prowl though.

NR: You've done really well in Germany, you've won some awards at the Brava Awards - where else in the world do you think you're going to make it?
James: Apparently we had a top 10 in South Africa and we had a top ten in Denmark and to be honest everywhere really. All over Europe.
Matt: Australia.
Charlie: I'd love to have a hit in America.
James: Oh America, I can't wait to go to America - I hope we have a hit there!

NR: You have a thing on your website where you get kids to promote Busted at school by being a school chairman. Do you think it's a really good way to get fans?
Matt: Definitely.
Charlie: It's giving them a job to do. They all want to help out.
James: We have a lot of people who work for us for nothing, not because we ask them to, because they choose to. That's amazing!
Matt: It's wicked.

NR: You've been out and about schmoozing with the stars, you were at J-Lo's premiere, what's been the best party you've been to?
James: That was a great party!
Charlie: The red carpet was wicked!
Matt: There were so many photographers! It was unreal how many photographers there were - there was like 100 photographers and we had to stand there for ages.

NR: You've got a UK tour coming up, what exciting things have you got in store?
Charlie: Oooh exciting!
James: It's going to be good though!
Matt: There will be some nudity!
Charlie: There MIGHT be some nudity!
Matt: There will be. Brief, but all of us!
Charlie: There's going to be fireworks too. I warn you though, it's going to be a musical tour - I'm not into all the flying through the air and stuff - I wanna make a musical show.

NR: In Year 3000 you've got a line about boy bands: 'Boy bands, and another and another one and another one". What do you think of current boy bands?
Charlie: They're alright - I just think it's all a bit been done before. I really respect people like Justin Timberlake and American boy bands because I think they're a step above everyone else.
James: It says a lot when you can break away from a boy band and have one of the most successful solo albums in the world - that is talent!
