I have to share with you this gem I found the other day.
Regular readers will know I love comedian/entertainer Adam Hills* (and I know I’m not the only one out there) so when I found this clip from his show In Gordon Street Tonight I was thrilled.
This clip has the unexpected combination of Adam Hills reciting the famous Australian poem written by Banjo Paterson, Clancy of the Overflow, alongside his talented wife Ali McGregor, who is singing Under The Milky Way Tonight, by The Church.
Who would have ever thought those two completely different things would fit together so well!
*Click here if you want to see other posts about Adam Hills I have done. Go on. He is very funny and he can sing too. Not as well as his wife of course…. 😉
Buried words and Bushwa. 
Wow… that gave me goosebumps. Two amazing, talented people. I’m so glad they’re together. 🙂 Thanks Metan. -hugs-
Makes us love him all the more doesn’t it! 😀
Yeah, it does. It’s not that often you get talent and genuine warmth in TV personalities, but he’s got both in spades.
Ahhh… beautifiul! Thankyou Metan xxx
He has a great voice for it too doesn’t he? Switching to blokeyness when needed “… and we don’t know where he are….” just perfect.
That was just amazing… made the hairs on the back of my neck stand up. I love all aspects of it, the poem, the song Ali & Adam!
When we saw Adam’s Happyism show recently he sang his Barnesy version of Advance Australia Fair which I think if put to the vote most of us would adopt rather than the existing 🙂
Wonderful stuff isn’t it. 😀
Every Monday morning at the kids school assembly the national anthem is played, they used to have a version with didgeridoos and kids singing and it was pretty enjoyable. Now they have a more operatic version which reminds me of the God Save The Queen days of my own childhood assemblies, horrible!
Maybe I should lobby for a change to the Adam and Barnesy version and see what the other parents think of that!
I like the idea of Advance Australia Fair with didgeridoos… I think that’s very cool.
Do you get ‘The Last Leg’ in Australia? It just started again a week or so ago.
We have had it in the past, the series that an alongside the Paralympics was a great perspective on something that is usually brushed aside wasn’t it.
I didn’t know that a new series had started and a quick flick through the guide on the tv doesn’t show it on in the next week. Grrrr. Oh well, I’m sure we’ll get it, sometime…
Have you ever seen Spicks and Specks? It was a music trivia show hosted by Adam Hills. It ran for years and was utterly, hilariously, brilliant.
