"What's all that about?" One day we were strolling through a quiet city hall We came across something that never fails to appall Students doing street theatre; God knows when it will end? We think you can imagine how the crowd's reaction went: "What's all that about?" We had a friend called Barry he was demonically possessed So we got some Holy Water and we tried to have him blessed The priest came in, Barry spewed, then he spun his head
We were sitting home one Sunday with a mate of ours called Kevin We had the TV on and it was stupid Channel Seven When suddenly Kev tells us "It's time for the main event!" We watched it for ten minutes then we turned to Kev and said What's all that about? We were walking down the shops to get a couple of Choc Wedges We saw one of those posters up near Beer and Certain Hedges The one that has a lightbulb talking to a piece of bread We looked at it for half an hour then we simply said: What's all that about? And then we went to see a film to pass the time away It was one of those arsy ones by Peter Greenaway All about a zebra and pair of naked men after seven hours I heard *cough* And then: What's all that about Then later on we went to hear a speech by that John Hewson But after half an hour we could feel our bowels loosen He talked about his fightback package and his GST But there was only one response as far as we could see: What's all that about? After that we went to see a concert by The Cure But sadly 15 minutes was all that we can endure The lead singer sang quite depressed, he looked like he was dead Half way through the second song, we turned around and said: What's all that about? So we took a quiet drive out through the countryside But pretty soon we found ourselves looking quite mystified C'os tourists were all queueing up to see a giant worm We looked at one another and we had to use the term: What's all that about? One day we were strolling through a quiet city hall We came across something that never fails to appall Students doing street theatre; God knows when it will end? We think you can imagine how the crowd reaction went: What's all that about? We had a friend called Barry he's demonically possessed So we got some Holy Water and we tried to have him blessed The priest came in, Barry spewed, then he spun his head The priest turned and looked us and then he very softly said: What's all that about? Now even though this song could go another twenty verses We really ought to stop before it's impact all disperses C'os right now lots of viewers are sitting there at home They're calling up the ABC and asking down the phone: What's all that about?

For anyone who wants to know what Australia in the early 90s looked like, this video is a great perspective of it
Never gets old. I still use the term "What's all that about" on a regular basis, in their voices haha
Genius. Loved it the night it was aired, love it still.

Absolute classic! They should also do “How did that get in here “. Said by all Australian Mums when there’s a bug in the house.
This is just about perfect.
Oh yeah! Our Australian "amateur comedy chat" podcast is named after this very song! Tip of the cap!
"What's all that about?"
One day we were strolling through a quiet city hall
We came across something that never fails to appall
Students doing street theatre; God knows when it will end?
We think you can imagine how the crowd's reaction went:
"What's all that about?"
We had a friend called Barry he was demonically possessed
So we got some Holy Water and we tried to have him blessed
The priest came in, Barry spewed, then he spun his head
"strolling through a quiet city mall"
"Students doing street theatre, God knows what it all meant."
Oh wow i remember when this first aired. Classic!
Champagne comedy.
We were sitting home one Sunday with a mate of ours called Kevin
We had the TV on and it was stupid Channel Seven
When suddenly Kev tells us "It's time for the main event!"
We watched it for ten minutes then we turned to Kev and said
What's all that about?
We were walking down the shops to get a couple of Choc Wedges
We saw one of those posters up near Beer and Certain Hedges
The one that has a lightbulb talking to a piece of bread
We looked at it for half an hour then we simply said:
What's all that about?
And then we went to see a film to pass the time away
It was one of those arsy ones by Peter Greenaway
All about a zebra and pair of naked men
after seven hours I heard *cough* And then:
What's all that about
Then later on we went to hear a speech by that John Hewson
But after half an hour we could feel our bowels loosen
He talked about his fightback package and his GST
But there was only one response as far as we could see:

But sadly 15 minutes was all that we can endure
The lead singer sang quite depressed, he looked like he was dead

C'os right now lots of viewers are sitting there at home
They're calling up the ABC and asking down the phone:

I could not understand anyone not finding the late show unfunny... pure comedic genius
@mat41174 that's because the pc crowd has ruined everything
I had this on vhs but I lost it. This is first time I've seen this in year!😄
The best times man
love it!
Winter Olympics! Who's here in 2022?
He looked at both of us and then he very softly said:

C'os right now all those viewers are sitting there at home

"Cos right now lots of viewers"

We saw one of those places up near Beer and Certain Hedges
The one that has a lightbulb talking to a piece of bread
We looked at it for half an hour then we simply said:
Julian Armenti Benson & Hedges
“Tuned to Chanel Seven”
“We saw one of those posters up for Benson & Hedges”
Then we went out driving across the countryside
Suddenly we found ourselves looking quite mystified
People were all queueing up to see a giant worm
We looked at one another and we had to use the term..
Then we went to go and see a speech by that John Hewson
But after half an hour we could feel our bowels loosen
He talked about his fightback package and his GST
But there was only one response as far as we could see.....
0:50 John Hewson had the same response.
