A North Korean diplomat warns "strong steps" would follow, should the UN take action against the country after its launch of a satellite on Sunday.

The UN Security Council has been debating whether North Korea should be punished for the launch. The US, Japan and key European powers say the launch was a ballistic test in clear violation of a UN resolution.

China and Russia have been more cautious, saying they are yet to be convinced Pyongyang broke the rules.

Pyongyang says the test of the three-stage Taepodong-2 rocket was a success, putting a satellite into orbit which is now transmitting data and revolutionary songs

2. Hey, Kim ...

... I'm not your stepping stone!

(by Tommy Boyce and Bobby Hart)

I-I-I-I-I'm not your stepping stone
I-I-I-I-I'm not your stepping stone

You're trying to make your mark in society
Your using all the tricks that you used on me.
You're reading all them high fashion magazines
The clothes you're wearin' girl are causing public scenes.

I said
I-I-I-I-I'm not your stepping stone
I-I-I-I-I'm not your stepping stone
Not your stepping stone,
Not your stepping stone.

When I first met you girl you didn't have no shoes
Now you're walking 'round like you're front page news.
You've been awful careful 'bout the friends you choose
But you won't find my name in your book of who's who.

I said
I-I-I-I-I'm not your stepping stone
I-I-I-I-I'm not your stepping stone
Not your stepping stone,
Not your stepping stone.


Amazingly prescient.

--d!
I can't believe I actually posted song lyrics at DU.
I am now officially pathetic.
