Brilliant Coin. I loved that track (wore the tape out when it was released)
For those interested, here's some history on it ---> To Wiki!

Yeah that's the one. Didn't she do the one that went;
My name is Lusca
I've got more legs than you
?
hehehe, nicely done Coin! 
Well, after it's debut on Evolution Radio I promised I'd put the mp3 up for people to download, so here's the link.
Everybody's Free (To Wear Capes)
Be aware, i couldn't get an backing version that had the singing part in the middle....and well, I can't sing, so i would never have tortured people with that anyway, so it's just the vocal part on this track, but I hope people enjoy it!
And huge thanks to DJ Riff for playing it for me

Amazing stuff! I will play this to death on all of my Evo sets!

Bit of a thread revival, but can you post a link again, Coin? I lost my copy when my computer died, and I miss it!

I'm confused, dude, link to what? The original link to the MP3 is further back in this thread?

Song is still roaming free on the interwebs getting more attention every day. Anyone creative enough to make a video out of it? With Coin's permission...

Nice one coin, as I was reading it in my mind, it was the same exact voice from the song XD
Does this have WMA copyright protection or whatever? I wanna put it on my PSP.
Ty, great song.
Just heard the audio and it's so funny in your Burnley accent lol
"Ya can't put caiiike on't florr!"
Burnley??? ROFLMAO!!
I'm not from Burnley!! Wrong side of the country my friend, I'm from Hull, in East Yorkshire
Man, that's funny

Ye gods, how did this get resurrected after 3 years?

I posted this back on the old boards and then it got wiped, so for a laugh I re-wrote it

Ladies and Gentlemen of the Heroes of Paragon City, Wear capes!
If I could offer you only one tip for the future, capes would be it. The long-term benefits of capes have been proved by scientists, whereas the rest of my advice has no basis more reliable than my own meandering exp. I will dispense this advice now...
Enjoy the power and beauty of your costume; Oh never mind, you will not understand the power and the beauty of your costume until you have changed it. But trust me, in twenty levels, you will look back at screenshots of yourself and recall in a way you can't grasp now, how much possibility lay before you and how fabulous your costume really looked.
You are not as n00bish as you imagine.
Don't worry about the PVP Zones, or worry, but know that worrying is as effective as trying to defeat Lord Recluse with just a level 1.
The real villains in your life are apt to be things that never crossed your worried mind: the kind that blindsides you at lvl 5 whilst fighting the Clockwork.
Fight one thing every day that scares you.
Held!
Don't be reckless with other people's teams; don't put up with n00bs who are reckless with yours.
Gratz!
Don't waste your time on levels. Sometimes you're ahead, sometimes you're behind. The race is long, and in the end, it's only with yourself.
Remember influence you receive; forget the debt. (if you succeed in doing this, tell me how).
Keep your old contacts; throw away your old mission statements.
LOL.
Don't feel guilty if you don't know what you want to do with your toon. The most interesting people I know didn't know at level 22 what they wanted to do with their toons; some of the most interesting level 50's I know still don't.
Get plenty of Break Frees.
Be kind to your sidekicks -- you'll miss them when they're gone.
Maybe you'll level, maybe you won't. Maybe you'll have debt, maybe you won't. Maybe you'll give up at 40; maybe you'll dance the funky chicken on your 50th level ding.
Whatever you do, don't congratulate yourself too much or berate yourself, either. Your victories are half chance, so are everybody else's.
Enjoy your powers: use them every way you can. Don't be afraid of them or what other people think of them; they are the greatest attacks you'll ever own.
Dance...even if you have nowhere to do it but in Atlas Park.
Listen to Evolution radio (even if you don't like the music!).
Do not read build guides; they will only make you feel underpowered.
Blaster and Scraper together will make it through,
Some day a Troller will take you and guide you there,
I know you've been hurting, but I've been waiting to be there for you
And I'll be there just healing you, whenever I ca-a-an
Get to know your supergroup; you never know when they'll be gone for good.
Be nice to your global list: they're your best link to your past and the people most likely to team with you in the future.
Understand that friends come and go, but that a precious few should hold on. Work hard to use the levels and power sets and lifestyle, because the higher level you get, the more you need people you know to exemp to.
Live in the Rogue Islands once, but leave before it makes you hard.
Live in Paragon City once, but leave before it makes you soft.
Fly.
Accept certain inalienable truths: levels will rise, Statesman will nerf you, you too will hit 50; and when you do, you'll fantasize that when you were a newbie, levels were low, Statesman was noble, and level 1's respected the level 50's.
Respect the level 50's.
Don't expect anyone else to support you. Maybe you have a higher alt, maybe you'll have a wealthy SG, but you never know when either one might run out of inf.
Don't mess too much with your costume or by the time you are level 40, it will look like a level 5.
Be careful which server you play on, but be patient with those who you team with. Experience is a form of nostalgia; dispensing it is a way of wishing the past from the disposal--wiping it off, painting over the ugly parts, and recycling it for more than it's worth.
But trust me, I wear capes.
