00:00If I tell you the answer, could you give me the question?
00:03The answer is, infatuation bastard, what is the question?
00:08Mrs. Hanson, how would you like your dimsums cooked?
00:13The hard-on.
00:14Yeah.
00:16Let's see if Phil Sartcock's in that band now.
00:22From the first gig, everyone's like, I can see you, you're not like us.
00:25Tonight might be a bit of trouble, we might have to hide you guys upstairs.
00:29Fuck a bunch of puttas, you should fuck off back to Waggland.
00:32Fuck those fucking arseholes, it's a real fucking turn off.
00:40The mosh pit was still a thing, it was happening.
00:44You'd have girls and guys just standing there singing these lyrics,
00:47even Suck and Swallow, like, there's no way you could do that now.
00:51Who was offended by it? Rock writers in the media. Rock.
00:55They should be in the bloody ARIA Hall of Fame.
00:57There's no award for you, there's no front cover, fuck off.
01:00Fuck off back to the west, you fucking westie,
01:02and take your fucking flannel with you.
01:04We take it to radio, no, we're not going to play it.
01:07It's like, whoa, you're not going to play it.
01:14The hard-ons should have been as big as Nirvana.
01:16They should have been.
01:17What did you expect?
01:18An alternative grunge hit?
01:21Calm the fuck down.
01:23You know, it's the fucking hard-ons.
01:25I feel proud to be Australian.
01:27That's why we carry this football around.
01:29Way ahead of anything that we had here in the UK at the time.
01:32It's who we are, we're ourselves, we're the hard-ons.
01:35We're fucking Aussies. We don't give a shit.
01:37We're up here having a good time.
01:39Fucking just going for it.
01:44People love Neapolitan ice cream.
01:46It's better than just vanilla, you know.
