    I keep coming back to this one. This is a great calling card for F&J in 2022. It shows their evolution from their earlier presentation - sat statically side by side, delivering the songs deadpan down the barrel of a gun (this was the style right through to their "Alive on Stage" show and Amazon special in 2019) - to being more confident and animated performers. It's been less than 7 years since they started in Toronto as complete, nervous amateurs, doing comedy as a sideline to their day jobs, which is how that style developed. But - this contains all the elements of their humour in one short song - dark self-deprecation, almost dadaist silliness (a hamster in a parachute :) ) and satirical comment. And - the fact that they could write and arrange what is a really good song, both musically excellent and lyrically very funny, for a one-off performance with a very limited shelf-life, that wouldn't form part of any of their touring shows - I continue to be astonished at how prolific they are as writers. One of my favourite F&J moments, and I'm glad this was released online. Very much hoping that the 2019/2020 "Before The Screaming Starts" and 2022 "Sweet Release" shows have been/will be recorded or filmed for release at some point. Can't get enough of these two talented women.

    Saw them not long ago and they were selling merch so got to meet them. So lovely, so down to earth and just fucking brilliant. Probably my favourite musical comedy act to date.

    • @osiristherebirth
      @osiristherebirth 2 года назад +2

      Me too, Shan. They do seem to be just nice, genuine people who happen to have a shit-ton of talent. Make the most of it - at some point, the world of comedy is going to catch on bigtime, and they'll be playing Minchin-sized gigs that are too big to allow them to run their own merch stall (not to mention being able to employ someone to do it for them, while they unwind backstage with tea, lady crisps, and a sausage :)).

      Nicola was born Dec 1989, Rosie in March 1992. So at the time of this video, 31 and 29 would be right. As of now (March 29th 2022), they've both had another birthday, so 32 and 30 respectively.

    January 1st, 2021.
    Gonna turn my life around now this new year has begun.
    Gonna eat more spinach.
    Gonna clean my house.
    And go swimming three times a week.
    And here I stand at the end of the year
    Looking back, knowing that
    I never did it.
    You know, I never did it.
    February 1st, 2021.
    Said this will be the month that I go for a run.
    And I did. Once!
    And never again
    But I did say I would learn the guitar.
    And you know I never did it.
    Somehow, I never did it.
    A fridge of rotten spinach and a shitty guitar
    And a swimming cap that I'll never use.
    At least I can repurpose that cap into
    You can't repurpose a swimming cap.
    Ohhhhh, unless a hamster needs a parachute
    Ohhhhh.
    March 1st, didn't even give it a try.
    April 1st, spent the whole month drunk.
    May 1st, promised myself I would bake a cake
    And I baked a cake, and it tasted shit.
    June 1st is a month of the year.
    July 1st, tried to sellotape a swimming cap to a hamster's back.
    August 1st, said I'd be kinder to myself
    Then I remembered I'm the idiot who can't bake a cake.
    September 1st, spent the month shouting at the news.
    October 1st, spent the month shouting at the news.
    November 1st, spent the month shouting at my phone
    And the news, and myself, and that stupid shitty cake.
    No I didn't even throw it in the bin, cos I'm a lazy pig.
    Ohhhhhh (guitar solo).
    So I stand looking forward to the new
    With all my resolutions for 2022.
    And you know I'm gonna do them.
    This time I'm gonna do them.
    Gonna make a million dollars.
    Gonna fly a boat.
    Fuck it. I'll even run for Prime Minister.
    Cos you know we need a new one.
    You know we need a new one.
    And anyone can do it.
    Clearly anyone can do it.
    At this point I'd even take a hamster in a parachute.
    Yeah, we're gonna do it.
