    Q. Hi Oracle, I wanted to know what song Coldplay sings from this video that's posted on the timeline. I believe it's their first gig when they were formerly known as Starfish ? I know that Ode to Deodorant is the last song played but I would really really like to know what the first one is called? Some of the lyrics go like "There goes another day. My friends are telling me that I will be okay. I'm gonna be okay". I would really appreciate it if you told me what song it was because I love it! Even though I only heard like 5 seconds of it. Thanks so much! Have a nice day wherever you are!

    The Oracle replies:

    It's So Sad. Looking at the set list from that gig, I don't recognize the first title at all - I don't think I have ever heard it. The others I have in their demo form - hopefully safe in a box in a loft somewhere...

    Q. You can see the Saturday Night Live Weekend Update skit with Chris! Here is the link. It is the 3rd video down. ENJOY!

    The Oracle replies:

    Ah, no, YOU can as you're in the U.S but we can't. I went to that link yesterday and as is the case for many American clips, it says "We're sorry, but the clip you selected isn't available from your location." Thanks for trying though. I have actually edited yesterday's answer to include a clip that does work...

    Q. Oracle, hello there. Oh great one! Have to say the Saturday Nite Live episode was great. I laughed so hard when Chris was on the Weekend Update segment. Would he consider doing comedy-acting? Thank you Oracle!

    The Oracle replies:

    It's a shame we can't all watch the clip of Chris in the Weekend Update* sketch but if you watch this SNL skit from the same show instead, you will be rewarded around the 3'18 mark. Chris has appeared as himself in a couple of comedy things; Extras and a very real life interview with Ricky Gervais - neither of which had elements of truth to them. It's a fun perk of being in Coldplay and Chris is a very funny guy, but the band is his passion so he'll be sticking to that. *Thanks to Jesse for the Weekend Update link.

    Q. Dear Oracle, I have two questions: First. Why Coldplay don't like to do weddings, funerals and special occasions? Second. Where can I get LRLRL? I hope you can answer me :)

    The Oracle replies:

    Let's go with your second question first. LRLRL is still available by clicking on the butterfly icon which you will find at the bottom left corner on the home page of this very site. As for question one, I didn't say they didn't like to, I said they don't. It's not very practical is it? They're a touring band with an incredibly busy schedule, imagine how many people would want to hire them if they did? They'd have time for nothing else! In my personal yet humble opinion it's not that credible either.
