13
00:00:42,280 --> 00:00:42,840
Speaker 3: Just a moment.

14
00:00:43,280 --> 00:00:46,400
Speaker 2: My Baby and Cheap Wine were also released as singles.

17
00:00:51,280 --> 00:00:51,480
Speaker 4: Yeah.

18
00:00:51,479 --> 00:00:53,559
Speaker 1: True, because even feel smaller bass player come up with

19
00:00:53,600 --> 00:00:56,040
Speaker 1: My Baby, as you mentioned there such a great, very

20
00:00:56,040 --> 00:00:58,480
Speaker 1: commercial kind of pop song. But it just worked. Yeah,

21
00:00:58,640 --> 00:01:02,400
Speaker 1: just incredible hair. So we talk about Cheap Wine, what

22
00:01:02,480 --> 00:01:05,520
Speaker 1: a song, What a great song it was. When you

23
00:01:05,560 --> 00:01:08,520
Speaker 1: talk about you know, having this great songwriter in Don

24
00:01:08,520 --> 00:01:10,800
Speaker 1: Walker being able to come up with those songs and

25
00:01:10,800 --> 00:01:12,199
Speaker 1: a lot of it as we just heard on sending

26
00:01:12,240 --> 00:01:15,440
Speaker 1: it outside, you know, piano based. He's done talking about

27
00:01:15,520 --> 00:01:15,920
Speaker 1: cheap Wine.

28
00:01:15,959 --> 00:01:19,960
Speaker 5: Cheap Wine was bits and pieces of verse that were

29
00:01:20,000 --> 00:01:27,440
Speaker 5: fitted fitted together at the last minute lyrically, I don't

30
00:01:27,440 --> 00:01:31,080
Speaker 5: think musically it was pretty much like that too. There

31
00:01:31,319 --> 00:01:34,959
Speaker 5: bits and pieces of other half finished songs or put together.

32
00:01:35,400 --> 00:01:37,839
Speaker 1: Magical how they can put things together from a starting

33
00:01:37,840 --> 00:01:39,959
Speaker 1: point where you go, I've got a bit of an idea.

34
00:01:39,640 --> 00:01:42,319
Speaker 3: And sounds like mad Max. Piece of this, piece of that.

35
00:01:42,400 --> 00:01:44,880
Speaker 1: Yeah, absolutely love pece from her next to some of

36
00:01:44,920 --> 00:01:45,839
Speaker 1: the outfits, it's.

37
00:01:45,720 --> 00:01:48,360
Speaker 3: A similar bye, it's about the same time wrong.

38
00:01:48,400 --> 00:01:50,760
Speaker 1: And then you bring in a player player to the

39
00:01:51,000 --> 00:01:53,639
Speaker 1: to the game called Marco Pis. Yeah, this great produce.

40
00:01:53,680 --> 00:01:55,880
Speaker 1: He'd worked with the boys from ac DC. He later

41
00:01:55,920 --> 00:01:57,560
Speaker 1: worked with the Vinyls on Azie Crawl and of course

42
00:01:57,560 --> 00:01:59,560
Speaker 1: he was the guy that put together Shabu Shabar with

43
00:01:59,600 --> 00:02:02,640
Speaker 1: an excess. Yes, Marco Bitzen is don walking talking about

44
00:02:02,640 --> 00:02:04,240
Speaker 1: working with this great producer Mark.

45
00:02:04,320 --> 00:02:07,000
Speaker 5: We've been working with Mark for about twelve months now.

46
00:02:07,280 --> 00:02:12,960
Speaker 5: Initially he was just straight producing it, but he's taught

47
00:02:13,000 --> 00:02:16,440
Speaker 5: us so many lessons that now it's more into a

48
00:02:16,480 --> 00:02:19,760
Speaker 5: co production situation. We just work as a team.

49
00:02:20,040 --> 00:02:24,000
Speaker 3: He's very quite bad, very clever man, indeed so many

50
00:02:24,040 --> 00:02:24,480
Speaker 3: great songs.

51
00:02:24,520 --> 00:02:26,080
Speaker 2: One of the big songs on it, of course, was

52
00:02:26,200 --> 00:02:32,960
Speaker 2: Iter now already a respected journalist. Ita made iter Buttros

53
00:02:33,240 --> 00:02:33,919
Speaker 2: very cool.

54
00:02:34,400 --> 00:02:36,960
Speaker 6: I had no idea cole Chesel were writing the song.

55
00:02:37,040 --> 00:02:40,320
Speaker 6: It came as a complete surprise. That's on their album East.

56
00:02:41,520 --> 00:02:43,680
Speaker 6: I didn't know much about the band. I don't quite frankly,

57
00:02:43,800 --> 00:02:47,320
Speaker 6: I didn't meet them until about twenty eleven. I used

58
00:02:47,360 --> 00:02:50,400
Speaker 6: to present the commercials for the Australian Women's Weekly every

59
00:02:50,400 --> 00:02:53,440
Speaker 6: week on television, and I was always behind a desk.

60
00:02:54,720 --> 00:02:58,000
Speaker 6: And Jimmy Barnes, the lead singer, recently wrote his own

61
00:02:58,080 --> 00:03:02,080
Speaker 6: book about his LAFE, viewed him, of course and personal

62
00:03:02,560 --> 00:03:06,120
Speaker 6: for the Studio ten. And you know I made him

63
00:03:06,160 --> 00:03:07,920
Speaker 6: sing me. I made him sing me a few bars

64
00:03:07,960 --> 00:03:12,959
Speaker 6: of my song, and he said to me that the boys, well,

65
00:03:13,000 --> 00:03:15,320
Speaker 6: excuse me, but I have to tell you, the boys

66
00:03:15,360 --> 00:03:18,520
Speaker 6: did the fantasize about me because they used to wonder

67
00:03:18,919 --> 00:03:21,440
Speaker 6: what I might be like and what might go on

68
00:03:22,320 --> 00:03:25,280
Speaker 6: below the desk, and so hence the song.

69
00:03:25,919 --> 00:03:27,520
Speaker 3: That's funny.

70
00:03:28,040 --> 00:03:32,880
Speaker 2: I can't believe it was thirty one years before.

71
00:03:32,560 --> 00:03:34,200
Speaker 1: She met them, isn't that incredible?

72
00:03:35,040 --> 00:03:36,000
Speaker 3: Thanks for the song.

73
00:03:36,520 --> 00:03:39,400
Speaker 1: She was absolutely chucked wasn't she Yes, you would be

74
00:03:39,440 --> 00:03:41,760
Speaker 1: would as you put it perfectly, you know, it made

75
00:03:41,760 --> 00:03:45,880
Speaker 1: her cool about it all. What about that beautiful song

76
00:03:45,960 --> 00:03:46,960
Speaker 1: Choir Girl, Qui Girl?

77
00:03:47,000 --> 00:03:49,600
Speaker 3: Yes, this was the single that came before the album.

78
00:03:49,880 --> 00:03:51,000
Speaker 3: This was in the old days.

79
00:03:51,000 --> 00:03:52,880
Speaker 2: They used to release well, I mean they still do

80
00:03:52,920 --> 00:03:55,400
Speaker 2: a bit, but there was always a single and then

81
00:03:55,560 --> 00:03:58,120
Speaker 2: you know, the album would come out maybe a couple

82
00:03:58,160 --> 00:03:58,760
Speaker 2: of months later.

83
00:03:59,000 --> 00:04:02,640
Speaker 3: Even taste a look, taster is what's coming? And who

84
00:04:02,760 --> 00:04:03,760
Speaker 3: was Qui Girl? A taster?

85
00:04:03,960 --> 00:04:06,400
Speaker 1: That's what a taster it was? What a sample? I'll

86
00:04:06,400 --> 00:04:08,280
Speaker 1: tell you he's marc Ope. It's the producer talking about

87
00:04:08,280 --> 00:04:08,800
Speaker 1: that great song.

88
00:04:08,880 --> 00:04:10,600
Speaker 4: Gotta understand, no one said to me go and do

89
00:04:10,640 --> 00:04:13,560
Speaker 4: a single. That's what I wanted to do because I

90
00:04:13,600 --> 00:04:16,159
Speaker 4: had that same feeling that the radio guys had to

91
00:04:16,160 --> 00:04:19,480
Speaker 4: give us something to play with integrity. And I spotted

92
00:04:19,560 --> 00:04:23,599
Speaker 4: Qui Girl, and I applied the techniques that I'd picked

93
00:04:23,640 --> 00:04:25,880
Speaker 4: up working with Andrew and Young about where to bring

94
00:04:26,240 --> 00:04:28,680
Speaker 4: backing vocals in. You know, maybe the course is a

95
00:04:28,680 --> 00:04:31,280
Speaker 4: bit long here or et cetera, et cetera. And given

96
00:04:31,600 --> 00:04:33,960
Speaker 4: the solo and more melodic feel and all that

97
00:04:34,520 --> 00:04:37,880
Speaker 1: Sort of thing, So damn good and knew how to

98
00:04:37,880 --> 00:04:38,560
Speaker 1: pick a hit to me,
