Of course, we jest somewhat. Daniel and friends prefer a nicely rolled joint to a bong Daniel never inhaled in the company of renown drug hating celebrities Bono and Peter Garrett MP.

Nevertheless, things are not good in the world of Johns' throat, as Silverchair's performance of Straight Lines on Jay Leno's show will attest. Although we'd never really liked Silverchair in the past, the release of Straight Lines saw Defamer Australia become freakishly obsessed with the song back in March, and we still hold it in high esteem.

In fact, when people ask us how our attempt to quit smoking is going, we quite often break into the first few lines of the chorus. We then follow this with a spot on imitation of Daniel Johns' shoulder shimmy in the break down bit of the video clip, and then find ourself apologising profusely to friends and loved ones for once again horrifying them with our complete idiocy.

MOVING ON.

Check out the less than stellar vocals in Silverchair's performance of Straight Lines on Leno after the jump, kids.

 

It starts off okay, but then the first chorus? We don't know whether to slap him or have him put down.

Have a Strepsil, Dan. And lay off the sweet Mary Jane for a week or two, you silly duffer.

PS: Don't stop working out though. We find ourself perversely attracted to tanned, muscled, tattooed, don't-you-think-I-resemble-a-lesbian-tennis-player, do-you-like-my-nice-headband incarnation of Daniel Johns.
