"Buy 12 safari suits and wonder why you havn't before" is one the greatest lines I've heard... ever. I'm still laughing about it 25 years later. Tony Martin, you're a genius.
This song was schoolyard fodder for weeks, I soon knew it off by heart and I didn’t even watch the airing of D-Gen at the time. Was actually great to finally see the original, decades later. “Eat 10 souvlakis for lunch/then throw up/over the bonnet of your bosses/new Daihatsu Charade” maybe the world’s more hilarious, oddly specific lyric, ever written.
The opening bit to this routine was omitted here. Tony commented on what the lyrics to the song "Follow Me" meant, in particular; "I've got my spine I've got my orange crush" and said that Michael Stipe could have been saying; "My back's all right, I've got a slurpee" At the age of seventeen I pictured Tony Martin at a Seven Eleven, drinking a slurpee. He would take a sip through a straw, exclaim "aah", then look at the cup and nod.
“Stand on your head in the sink, now face north. (Inaudible) while you force a strawberry slurpy up your nose. Set your trousers on fire, now face west. Move to Pakistan and a hundred yaks to speak French. I’m confused, I must confess. What this song means, is anyone’s guess! Your feet are walking, all over the place. I must have written that when I was off my face! So, eat ten souvlakis for luuuunch, then throw up. On the bonnet of your boss’s new (inaudible) Photo copy your buuum, and bake it in a cake. Send it to the pope and ask if you tongue kiss you mom. This could be the dumbest song I’ve ever heard, and I’ve heard quite a few. Remember that one by James ray called hammerhead, what the hell was that about? Stick your head into a faaan, now face north. Buy twelve safari suits, wonder why you haven’t before. Make a hat outta cheese, now face west. Punch a Laplander and cello tape a rat to your knees.” Idk either...

When I recently watched the clip for Radio Song, I realised how much Martin nailed the movements in this. Amazing

@@patricklampe2840 thanks
Patrick Lampe the inaudible bit is “say the Lord’s Prayer”, and also Diahatsu Siron
@@kidcharlemagne3044 *Daihatsu Charade

Stipes early lyrics make less sense than that
