Elysium are a Northern Ireland band, and they have their finger on the pulse on modern teen bebo-angst with their excellent rock anthem, The Ballad of Bebo. Some choice quotes from the lyrics:

You can hear Ballad of Bebo at Elysium’s myspace profile. It’s also, shock-horror, available at their Bebo songs page.

There’s also a live version up on YouTube, but good luck being able to hear it properly:
