34
00:01:31,240 --> 00:01:32,720

35
00:01:32,720 --> 00:01:33,920
Speaker 2: the whole audience to sing along.

36
00:01:34,160 --> 00:01:36,360
Speaker 5: I mean, I'm so over that. That whole getting the

37
00:01:36,360 --> 00:01:38,720
Speaker 5: crowd to sing along. You don't do that though, idea, Richard,

38
00:01:38,800 --> 00:01:39,920
Speaker 5: you get the crowd to sing along.

39
00:01:40,640 --> 00:01:44,080
Speaker 1: Well, okay, So I've decided to call this feeling all

40
00:01:44,160 --> 00:01:47,120
Speaker 1: right tonight, which is this earworm of a song that

41
00:01:47,160 --> 00:01:52,800
Speaker 1: I wrote in nine four on the Solidarity album and

42
00:01:51,960 --> 00:01:54,960
Speaker 1: uh so we needed something to hang our hat on

43
00:01:55,080 --> 00:01:59,240
Speaker 1: for this, so I've revived. It's a really short little

44
00:01:59,240 --> 00:02:02,840
Speaker 1: earworm for some called philin all right tonight. So I've

45
00:02:02,880 --> 00:02:07,800
Speaker 1: just done Melbourne and Sydney and for the first time. Yes,

46
00:02:08,240 --> 00:02:09,240
Speaker 1: I'm so ashamed.

47
00:02:09,280 --> 00:02:11,520
Speaker 3: Brenton, you get the audience to sing along.

48
00:02:11,600 --> 00:02:14,280
Speaker 1: Yes, thanks Manda, and it's wonderful.

49
00:02:14,600 --> 00:02:17,960
Speaker 4: Yes, okay, everyone else but Richard Clapton could do it.

50
00:02:18,000 --> 00:02:20,320
Speaker 3: I think that's I mean, no one else but Richard Clapton.

51
00:02:20,919 --> 00:02:24,720
Speaker 5: Everyone else, No, yes, everyone else don't do it, but

52
00:02:24,840 --> 00:02:25,799
Speaker 5: Richard you can do it.

53
00:02:26,280 --> 00:02:26,520
Speaker 4: Well.

54
00:02:26,600 --> 00:02:31,960
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, look, traditionally, my audience always sings sitting

55
00:02:31,960 --> 00:02:33,640
Speaker 1: out in the Palm Beach road, I'm so drunk in

56
00:02:33,639 --> 00:02:36,040
Speaker 1: the car won't go, which I guess is going to

57
00:02:36,040 --> 00:02:38,480
Speaker 1: be what I'm going to be remembered for. I'm so

58
00:02:38,600 --> 00:02:39,480
Speaker 1: drunk in the car wonk.

59
00:02:40,280 --> 00:02:42,760
Speaker 3: Still one iconic line that actually.

60
00:02:42,600 --> 00:02:44,840
Speaker 5: That that actually happened to you. You're sitting out on

61
00:02:44,840 --> 00:02:45,680
Speaker 5: the Palm Beach road.

62
00:02:46,240 --> 00:02:48,600
Speaker 1: It did, haven't I told you that story? I was

63
00:02:48,639 --> 00:02:51,080
Speaker 1: too long to tell it all. Now for drink driving rules,

64
00:02:51,280 --> 00:02:54,800
Speaker 1: oh god, yeah, no, there was. There was a film

65
00:02:54,880 --> 00:02:58,839
Speaker 1: studio called Palm Beach Studios at Palm Beach, and I'd

66
00:02:58,840 --> 00:03:01,280
Speaker 1: gone up there with a girlfriend. Had a brand new car.

67
00:03:01,840 --> 00:03:04,960
Speaker 1: Glenae Baker told me that was a Nissan Z. That

68
00:03:05,120 --> 00:03:10,000
Speaker 1: was the car that was flavored. Yes, and yes, it

69
00:03:10,120 --> 00:03:16,760
Speaker 1: was very long, meeting in quotation marks, and so we

70
00:03:16,800 --> 00:03:19,840
Speaker 1: staggered out of it there at about seven o'clock on

71
00:03:19,840 --> 00:03:24,120
Speaker 1: a Sunday morning, and we got around that bend and

72
00:03:25,080 --> 00:03:27,520
Speaker 1: her car broke down, her brand new Nissan Z, this

73
00:03:27,600 --> 00:03:31,000
Speaker 1: trendy car, because we were out of petrol. Ah, and

74
00:03:31,160 --> 00:03:35,200
Speaker 1: a bit of bickering ensued, and there was no mobile phone. Well,

75
00:03:35,520 --> 00:03:37,800
Speaker 1: the nearest phone box I think was almost a kilometer.

76
00:03:38,440 --> 00:03:42,160
Speaker 1: So she got the straw, short straw. She stomped off.

77
00:03:42,600 --> 00:03:43,760
Speaker 3: You slept in the car.

78
00:03:44,600 --> 00:03:49,360
Speaker 1: No, I'm a songwriter, a manager. I don't sleep. My

79
00:03:49,440 --> 00:03:54,080
Speaker 1: girlfriend stomped off to go and phone the Nrima and

80
00:03:54,680 --> 00:03:56,840
Speaker 1: she had paper on the back seat. And I'm sitting

81
00:03:56,920 --> 00:03:59,600
Speaker 1: there and all these cute suburban families are sitting out

82
00:03:59,600 --> 00:04:02,800
Speaker 1: there for this Sunday Sunday morning, you know, brunch, what

83
00:04:02,840 --> 00:04:08,760
Speaker 1: do you call it? And I was still under the influence. Yeah,

84
00:04:08,800 --> 00:04:10,360
Speaker 1: so it's it's almost journalistic.

85
00:04:10,520 --> 00:04:13,400
Speaker 3: So you wrote that line on that day.

86
00:04:13,160 --> 00:04:15,680
Speaker 1: I wrote it exactly now. But the best thing is

87
00:04:15,880 --> 00:04:18,880
Speaker 1: then Glenna Baker wanted to do a series for Channel

88
00:04:18,960 --> 00:04:22,720
Speaker 1: nine that there's Songs of Sydney, and so he took

89
00:04:22,760 --> 00:04:26,279
Speaker 1: me back up there. He got a Nissan Z and everything.

90
00:04:26,880 --> 00:04:29,360
Speaker 1: Glenn's standing there with a Goodbye Tiger album cover and

91
00:04:29,440 --> 00:04:31,839
Speaker 1: he's going so sitting down to the palmy Strode. So
