- D Generation - Late Show. A parody of the Things of Stone and Wood song Happy Birthday Helen. Made by what is quite possibly the best comedy team Australia has seen, or will ever see. Champagne comedy at it's best. Of course, I will be happy to remove this video if requested, although I think they deserve the credit that is most most certainly due to them for their work.
I still call it Captain Cook's Cabin because of this.
I remember watching this live at the time and when they got to at least it rhymes with Moorabbin. I thought this is the best show of Australian TV for the moment in history, funny funny show, but clever too. Champagne Comedy.
1971RobM it was a simpler time
Best Australian comedy show ever
Champagne Comedy 🍾🥂. I will never forget them taking the mick out of each other with that line.
Vintage.

Was asking my sister in Melbourne what we should do when we visit, this was her response.
The first time I visited Melbourne this song was in my head all day.
Hilarious song about my wonderful home town :) Have never lived in Moorabbin tho, alas LOL
Melbourne has changed a lot now
Too friggin funny 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Tourism Melbourne STILL hasn't grabbed this for promotional purposes?
What gives people??
ahutcho24 Bureacrats don't think outside the box.
I suspect that the original did more than the tourism board did all year.
One word - "Moorabbin"
legendary
*its best
Tom Gleisner = underrated babe.
Yes.
And for good reason!
I was there on this day when this sketch was being recorded. The location was in front of the shops in the carpark behind the Coles supermarket in Prahran. I lived in Elwood at the time and would regularly see the Late Show cast & crew around the inner-city suburbs of Melbourne... most often down my local shopping strip (Acland Street St Kilda), when they recorded the hilarious vox pops.
Only recently someone spotted a glimpse of me in the background. This was because their outside taping day coincided with the regular weekday I had off work.
👱🏻♀️❤️
Where are you in the background?! 😂
Rob Sitch has always been brilliant at showing the bullshit in something we just accept as normal.
My guess would be that Tony Martin had a big input in this.
The man is a genius.
Please don't remove it, every year I need a different version to send to my friend Helen :)
Best comment.
Melbourne looks almost unrecognisable watching this...
Meh not really, Bourke Street mall still much the same, Flinders Street station, still much the same, Bourke Street arcade, still much the same. Federation Square is the only thing that didn't exist and the trams were different but the rest hasn't changed at all really.
You could never run out of Melbourne cliches.
God I wish this sort of comedy would return to our televisions. Gold!
Best ever comedy team and show!! The 90s were awesome
I like the part where they sing about Melbourne.
And cliches don’t forget
@@OldAussieAds Different sketch but same show: How is the Bolt Bloke doing these days?
Old Coles logo at 0:34
Hopefully someone saved it.
@@liammalcolm Still a better logo than the one it has now.
That’s very true, Eddie!!
Wow, that takes me back.
Shame this was written before Crown Casino and Federation Square were around, then they'd have had at least two more Melbourne Cliches!
We went to Federation Square and thought what the heck, we'll visit the Eureka Skydeck
@@nostalgiaof98possibly too long, change it to Fed Square and you have it.
Rob Sitch ❤️ And Tony Martin being the world’s biggest ham. Good times
Best city in the world Melbourne. Best city in the world.
No Sydney
I could live in Melb in a heartbeat, and this is coming from a Sydneysider that is a little tired of Sydney now...
So seven years later... reckon you'd still do it?
Twenty years ago I drove a HT Kingswood in immaculate condition down Toorak way.
For a rich cnt suburb, your road's were shit, and the 'greeting's' were boring to say the least. Wankers on their coffee actually took time to flip a bird.
Honoured as we were, we moved on to a grander state. The whole affair was as interesting as Micallef.
Nothing changed two years ago I might add.
umm.. are you sure you still wanna do that?🤔🤔🤔
... but at least it rhymes with Moorabbin...
Fuck I miss these guys
My sister just posted the clip of Happy Birthday Helen on her Facebook page. I had to put this in the comments
I was at the gym today and I put Happy Birthday Helen on with the Crowd DJ Media player. The song starts with mention of ‘we drove along the Yarra’.
Did everyone in the gym start singing along to that classic workout track Happy Birthday Helen?
@@Magooch86 Thanks for a good laugh
Thanks for the memories. I used to love these guys when I was a kid, and think they were so cool. But I must admit, since the advent of "reality" TV shite, in particular "Popstars" "X-Factor" "Voice" "Got Talent" etc, they've had nothing. Neither has any other Oz "comedian". No making fun of 'Bardot', and all the talentless phonies who followed over the decades with their worthless shite since.
I remember seeing someone from 'Bardot' on 'The Panel', ask them "What's Lennon-McCartney?". From a *panel full of "comedians",* crickets in response. "Ooh, we can't offend the corporations behind that shit", lol.
I just hope one day, one of these arseholes gives an insight into how Oz comedy died & got taken over by corporate/government shills. Were they paid off? Careers threatened? I hope there's some sort of excuse that's half-respectable at least.
Moorabbin lol
My wife and I love this clip so much, we went looking for all the landmarks on our last trip to Melbourne. Even took a look for Job Warehouse for the hell of it!!
That sounds like lots of fun. I miss this show.
I live in Coburg and we still have the Dashboard Doctor operating, El Pharoah's is gone, but still has the sign up.
The place with the Red Trunks was at 161 Sydney Road Brunswick, long gone. Job Warehouse closed a couple of years ago. Stax of Slacks closed about 10 years ago, but part of their old sign was still visible last year. The Bolt Bloke is long gone.
@@pettee1979 i knew of the demise of Stax of Slacks, and I had heard the bolt bloke is now part of Coventrys.
Once borders open proper I might have to go to visit the Dashboard Doctor while they are still around. And id love to go find a few more Late Show landmarks.
Job Warehouse was closed when we were there but the signage was still up.
Thanks for the update on some of the places mate. Much appreciated.
@@pettee1979 But we have "the universal bolt bloke" around the place, new and improved!
Stacks of Slacks isn't there anymore. But Franco Cozzo is.
Taking the piss 10 out of 10.
Still bloody funny after all these years.
Guess the mordialloc road duplicator was taken...
They did a great job of targeting cringy Aussie bands 😂
It’s exact to the original. I’m spewing the crap band I played in wasn’t crap enough for the d gen to do a sketch of.
Happy birthday Helen!!!!!!!!!!!!!
oh whoaaaaaa
Should do updated version
Absolute banger!!
What's all that about?
How about Covid-19?
Gee this is old
What? No Puffing Billy?
Brilliant!
Hey, can someone tell me about a parody “with a heyo thingo heyo” not sure exactly who was taken off, maybe boom crash opera.
Too funny! Just too funny.
Frankston springs to mind !
Gold!
20 years on, and Melbourne is still exactly the same.
Gold.
This is sung by the dude from The Beards isn't it?
The singer from The Beards was around ten years old when this was made.
I can't even remember the lyrics to the original song. This version clearly out-performs the original.
Clever
Parody win.
feed the troll
I'm STILL LOOKING!!!
The best!!
gaf
Classic!!!
Champagne comedy.
I can't afford to take the old lady out again.
...
She was just using me and I am not an aged care worker

A truly recognisable and relatable Melbourne. Its even worse here now than when I made my initial comment. The sheer numbers, the deluge, of foreigners here now.
Actually, most of the people who fought at Gallipoli were of English extraction, not even born here.
If you want to paint at innerspace, it is mandatory to have the radio on
..
Women's group making stories telling films and being really effed s up.
Melbourne then, still so good...safe, free, spacious, happy....no "diversity"!
And it's been MUCH WORSE since I said that! Now, we're a minority in our own City. It's shocking.
@@Scotty-P Hi Scotty I think I saw you in that photo of all the neo-Nazis at the boxing gym, shame you got shut down. Oh well.
What are "Neo-Nazis"? And, I don't go to gyms. And, we're being made a minority in our own City and across the suburbs, so in light of this unfolding nightmare why do people like you persist in making up terms and phrases to call your own people if any of us speak or stand up against this?!@@Magooch86
