Live from WormHQ

On August 19, 2003, in response to a more-or-less canonical E2 permissions request, the Worms responded thusly:

Um okay. You can have our lyrics on there. Written by The Arrogant Worms would be a good credit and perhaps a link to www.arrogant-worms.com would be good.

Thanks,
Worms
