Speaker 1: It's lucky Lucky Lucky Dip time. Lucky dip, not dick.
Speaker 1: I said, dip, you naughty thing, our child.
Speaker 2: Imagine that's a new series we do. How that work?
Speaker 2: Lucky Dick?
Speaker 1: Like the Lucky Dip, You put your hand in the
Speaker 1: bucket and you grab.
Speaker 2: A dick, five faces and you have to match whose
Speaker 2: dick you've got in your hand. Volunteers, that's fun. I
Speaker 2: would play that at a fate. I'd play that too.
Speaker 2: That's disgusting, isn't it.
Speaker 1: It's great? Hey everyone, it's Mela Monte. Thanks for listening in.
Speaker 1: I mean, it can only go up from here, Let's
Speaker 1: be honest.
Speaker 2: It can. So you know, I love music and all
Speaker 2: that right and all that jazz. I saw the other
Speaker 2: week on Pedestrian. You know so espy Rihanna. So yes,
Speaker 2: there was an interview with the guy that wrote that
Speaker 2: song and he was saying how the entire second verse,
Speaker 2: all the lines in it are names of famous eighties songs.
Speaker 2: Also fascinating how songwriters write songs, because it's not like
Speaker 2: writing a written piece. It's very different.
Speaker 1: I just find it so amazing that people can write
Speaker 1: things like It's not obviously not natural for us, But
Speaker 1: do they. It's like some people hear the lyrics in
Speaker 1: their head and then write them down, but then you've
Speaker 1: got to write the music.
Speaker 2: It's so clever, It is so clever. But this is
Speaker 2: this is what he had to say. Listen to this.
Speaker 3: The whole second verse of that song is eighty song
Speaker 3: titles strung together as sentences. Because I thought would be
Speaker 3: super clever. Peak on me. Aha, you know inside you
Speaker 3: feel it right now? Take me on I could just
Speaker 3: die up in your arms tonight with you. You got
Speaker 3: me head over heels. The boy you keep me hanging
Speaker 3: on the way.
Speaker 1: You make me feeling on the way.
Speaker 3: Number one song?
Speaker 2: Wow, fascinating anyway?
Speaker 1: Is Kim mild Australian?
Speaker 2: No cool? But I sort of know where you're going
Speaker 2: with that, and I don't know what I'm thinking of. Hm,
Speaker 2: she had blonde hair and stuff. Yeah she did, I
Speaker 2: know exactly. Maybe. Okay, I am bringing you today the
Speaker 2: story behind Do you remember this song? Who is this?
Speaker 2: The Angels styles.
Speaker 1: D stab again no way, get fucked?
Speaker 2: Okay, So this is this is all tied in together, right.
Speaker 2: So that song was Am I ever going to see
Speaker 2: your face again? By the Angels? Iconic Ossie band. Also,
Speaker 2: do you know that song was released in nineteen seventy six,
Speaker 2: It wasn't alive when it was first released. It was
Speaker 2: a flop. Then it was re released in nineteen eighty eight,
Speaker 2: which we would remember, and they re released a live
Speaker 2: version that had that call and response bit. So the
Speaker 2: song was originally written like a slower song, but then
Speaker 2: there were too many parallels between that and this song
Speaker 2: by there's an old band called Status Quo. I'm going
Speaker 2: to play you a bit of their song most exactly
Speaker 2: the same, exactly the same, and consequently as well, royalties
Speaker 2: from am I ever going to see your face again?
Speaker 2: They reached an agreement, so royalties to that song, there's
Speaker 2: a portion of it that go to Status Quo because
Speaker 2: they clearly ripped it off totally. So that call and
Speaker 2: response bit, the no way get fucked fuck off. The
Speaker 2: band don't even know where that started, and I don't
Speaker 2: know who it was, Like the drummer or something was
Speaker 2: doing an interview and he was saying they first heard
Speaker 2: it in nineteen eighty three at like some small bar
Speaker 2: they were playing out or something, and they thought the
Speaker 2: crowd was angry at them, like telling them to fuck
Speaker 2: off right, but he said it's hard to know because
Speaker 2: everyone puts a hand up like I invented it, so
Speaker 2: they don't know where it stemmed from. But the thought
Speaker 2: is that it came from a DJ that used to
Speaker 2: work at Remember Blue Light Disco. Yeah, of course you
Speaker 2: went to one once, didn't you. Yeah, I know, I
Speaker 2: went to one in year ten. No one went in
Speaker 2: year ten, people going year seven, but my parents let
Speaker 2: me go in year seven, So there I was. I
Speaker 2: looked eighty five. Had a great time though, did anyway.
Speaker 2: Apparently he would play that song and turn the like
Speaker 2: when the chorus came on. Afterwards he'd turn it down
Speaker 2: and encourage the kids to scream out swear words. And
Speaker 2: then apparently teachers and older students would hear it, and
Speaker 2: then they would go on and watch the angels and
Speaker 2: start doing it, and then it just became this whole thing.
Speaker 2: But the meaning of that song. There was an interview
Speaker 2: with Doc Nason, who's the lead singer, and he said,
Speaker 2: originally it was written as an acoustic ballad, and it
Speaker 2: was inspired by this conversation that he had with a friend.
Speaker 2: So this friend had a girlfriend. They'd gone away for
Speaker 2: the weekend and I think she was riding back home
Speaker 2: on her motorbike. She hit a pole and she died,
Speaker 2: and they were having this conversation about when someone dies,
Speaker 2: will you ever see them again? And that's how it
Speaker 2: all started. And the last interesting fact about that, which look,
Speaker 2: I don't know if you've ever considered this. This might
Speaker 2: be something that everyone's like, yeah, who doesn't know that,
Speaker 2: But the opening riff of that song is meant to
Speaker 2: sound like an ambulance.
Speaker 1: Oh wow, it does.
Speaker 2: Doesn't make your real hearing that now?
Speaker 1: Yes, and you've delivered again, bravo. Thank you for joining us,
Speaker 1: your champion cans, and we'll chat to you really soon.
Speaker 2: They love you
