What was the D-Generation 80's song?

[Benjamin]

I am racking my brain trying to think of the song which was a hit in the late 80's. The song was taking off a radio show. If you have any clue, please email me! (BenDVD1@hotmail.com)

Thanks,
Ben

The brilliant DGEN song in the 80s was called 'FIVE IN A ROW'. Believe it or not I still have the cassingle of it. They take off John Farnham, Jimmy Barnes, Little River Band, Jane does Kylie, and James Reyne. Rob is a smooth talking DJ who just wont shut up and Santo comes in towards the end as a caller.

On the commentary to the DVD just out they mention that they met Michael Hirsch, their usual producer and often bit-player in the Late Show, when he was asked to produce the song as he was the cheapest producer around. This then became a partnership which still exists, as far as I know.

Hope this helps.

The original D-Gen theme is a bugger to remember unless you have the original ep tapes - because neither of the 'Best of..' tapes have it - except one has the string concerto version..

It starts..

"We've postponed our graduation.. something something our Education..

....

D-Generation (woh-oooh-ooh) D-Generation. .."

That's all I can remember! I can vaguely hum the tune as well..

[kichigai]

Both the 5 in a row videos can be found on Degenocide - The second best of the Dgen on video and DVD. DVD also features late show pilots, ch 9 pilots for late late show, outtakes, home videos and more.

[Supermercado]

What about FIVE MORE IN A ROW.. The slighty less succesful sequel?

[Major Spliff Biggins]

I actually own a copy of a Deg Gen episode from about 1985. It has the fabled theme tune and is "piss funny"

Here are the lyrics to Five in a Row.

Key.
RA – Radio Announcer. (Rob Sitch)
JF – John Farnham. (Sade ’89 Remix)
JB – Jimmy Barnes. (Waitin’ for the Headache)
LRB – Little River Band. (Roll Out the Barrel)
KM – Kylie Minogue. (Locomotion (89th Remix))
JR – James Reyne. (Nhoseoychaxedswve)
W – Wayne. (Santo Cilauro)

RA: Alright, you’ve got that dial locked on 23FM.
Your one-stop non-stop shop of classic rock where
The hot hits and golden memories are cocked and
Ready to meet head-on with the best blend of old and
New good time chart-busting rock and roll. And hey, if
You’re out on the road, remember, keep left. Good one!

JF: Well, I’ve been king of pop and a Countdown host,
And I’ve sung almost everywhere. I was once kicked out
Of LRB for having too much hair. I’m just a natural guy
Who likes to close his eyes and hold it with no mercy.
But if someone starts to call me Johnny, I’ll kick their
bloody teeth in!

RA: Oh yeah, don’t it sound so good? Nice one, Johnny!

JB: I’ve got a three-day growth, a leather jacket, and a freight
Train heart. I’ve been listening to my last recording and I’m
Waiting for the headache to start. I don’t know why I’m so
Over the top or why I scream on every note! I’m just a working-
Class man doing the best he can with a very sore throat.

RA: Oh, you have to be on 23FM wouldn’t you?
And don’t forget those Barnesy tour dates, we’re
Looking at the 3rd, 4th, 6th, 7th, 23rd and the
Supplementary num…hey, we’ll check them out
Later. Right now, let’s bring the mood back a step
With a good-time classic rock memory. I feel so good!

LRB: We use to sing in front of massive crowds, now it’s school,
Ships and cabaret. Our beards are long; our hair is long, we
Need wheelchair ramps wherever we play. But our records still
Sell, our harmonies swell, and my pension keeps us out of debt.
When we show how close to the middle of the road bad Aussie
Rockers can get!

RA: OK, one for the mums there! You’re on 23FM and you know
The hottest way to look cool this summer is in any of our
official 23FM station gear. We’ve got t-shirts, singlet’s,
sun hats, orthopedic Sandals in a huge range of black. All
you gotta do to score one is Spot Dangerous Dan who is out
and about in the FM Super Summer Turbo Beach Cruiser. Just
look for a yellow Mazda without rego plates and you could
be a winner right here on 23FM. And speaking of winners,
Here’s a girl making big waves overseas…

KM: People often ask me how I keep making hits, I tell them –
Just say (?)! I should be so lucky that a soapie star ever got
To go so far. With a brand new (?) & a permanent (?). A TV
WEEK cover girl. And a dozen songs playing all day long in
Elevators ’round the world.

RA: Let me tell you that’s one hot single, rumored to be ten
Minutes in the making. You’re on 23FM, we’re gonna take a quick
break. (Brief pause) And roll out another dose of classic Aussie rock.

JR: Got a hammerhead, live on the coast, so indisposed.
I’m mixing with the (something) when you caught the
last train home. Out to cause some bombed-out trails,
getting hard at (something). With a voice (something),
(something), needs a speech therapist.

RA: Alright, don’t it sound so good? Can’t wait for the
English-language version. Let’s got to the lines, hello?

W: Oh G’day its Wayne here. Why don’t you play more Australian music?

RA: Wayne, we just rolled out Five in a Row.

W: Oh, I must’ve missed them. I don’t listen to the radio.

RA: Alright Wayne, just for you, let’s hear them all one more time.

W: Do I win anything?

RA: Afraid not!

W: Sunhat?

RA: Uh-uh!

W: How about one of them ortha…orthanadonic sandals?

JF: I love my voice.
JB: I’m the working class trash!
KM: I’m the one who really can’t mime.
LRB: We’re a bunch of easy rockers.
JR: Na-Na Yah Naw.

RA: Absolutely! 23FM – turn it on, lock it on.
We give you the non-stop blend of good time
Classic rock and golden-old chart-busting
Memories in the one bread. And I’m just
Gonna keep talking like this until I get fainter
And fainter and you can hardly hear me. Then
All of a sudden I’ll get loud again and then just
Sort of fade off into the background. But I won’t
Go away, oh no! Hey I don’t like to bring my
Political beliefs onto the radio, but does the
South African government suck or what?

[loop]

Here's couple of corrections, I think.

I’m just a natural guy
Who likes to close his eyes and hold it with no mercy

Johnny says "and hold every note i sing".

I’ve been listening to my last recording and I’m
Waiting for the headache to start.Jimmy says he's "waiting for the headache to stop"


now it’s school,
Ships and cabaret. Our beards are long; our hair is long, we need wheelchair ramps wherever we play.LRB play "cruise ships and cabaret" and "Their hair is gone"


I tell them –
Just say (?)! I should be so lucky that a soapie star ever got
To go so far. With a brand new (?) & a permanent (?).Kylie says in french "je suis français" she says she has a brand new cossie and a permanent possie as TV Week covergirl

hope this helps.

I think it's:
I been mixing with gnocchi people, when you caught the last train home
House of Cards, Bondi tram, down-hearted and reckless
When the boys light up, he's just a junkyard dog who needs a speech therapist"
Oh and if anyone has ever wondered what it is that Jane is saying in sign language when she's trying to interpret James Reyne in the video, she's saying "What is that man on [or talking] about?" I can''t see her say "talking" or "on" but those are definitely the signs for the other words so I'm guessing that's what she's saying.

Loop said:
Jimmy says he's "waiting for the headache to stop"
I think it *is* actually "waiting for the headache to start" - stop makes more sense but "start" does rhyme with "freight train heart"

Kylie says in french "je suis français"
I actually thought she says "Je ne sais pas pourquoi" which is "I don't know why" in French, and is also the name of a little known Kylie song from the Stock Aitken Waterman years.

[Eddie Blake]

Here are the lyrics again with the corrections made.
This is the full version not the edited version from the music video.

PS: With the LRB pisstake, it sounds more like "our" instead of "their".
PPS: Now we just need to work out the lyrics to "Five More in a Row".

[charlie1]

Sorry I missed these the first time;

JF: I love my voice.
I think this is: "I'm the voice" (John Farnham's nickname is "The Voice" so this makes sense). Which, to make it rhyme, means this:

JB: I’m the working class trash!
Would be: "I'm the working class choice"

I tell them je ne sais pas pour quoi!
I just listened to it again, and it looks like she doesn't put in the "pas", It's just "Je ne sais pourqoui" (pourquoi is one word). My bad, sorry about that:-(

[Eddie Blake]

Here it is again with the changes made.

Mixing with gnocchi people
Now that I listen to it again, I think it might actually be "nicest people" which are the original lyrics from James Reyne's song.
Instead of reposting the whole thing again though, maybe it might be easier if you just edit the last post.

[stupidmeatball]

The subtitles list it as "you been messing with gnocchi" in the film clip if remember properly. It's on the Bottom Draw section of the dvd. That may have just been a joke, but it sounds possible.

[loop]

Here's the lyrics to Five More In A Row

Alright you are back on 23FM
Your home base of classic oz rock
Where the red hot hits
Are comin' at ya 24 hours a day
Right now we're halfway through a no repeat, double shot
Commercial free, all request, ultimate album side workforce music marathon
And let’s kick it along with this guy

I’m a skateboard rocker
My haircut's a shocker
And my clothes are op-shop rejects
I got a new sensation
Strange relationship with Jason Donovan's ex

Sometimes I think I'm Jagger
Sometimes I look like a dork
I just wish I could dance in these stupid black pants
But it's hard enough to even walk

Oh you know I think there's a message in that song for us all
Don’t mess with non prescription drugs
You got your stereo dial anchored on 23FM
This country's biggest and best music mix
And speaking of big lets do some Dragon

Ohhh! We’ve been around so many years no-one knows our age
But when we play at concerts now they reinforce the stage
Were blocking out the April sun every time we move about Ohhh!
We haven’t had a groupie since Jenny Craig. Kicked us out.

And don’t forget Marc and the boys will down in Melbourne this weekend
Playing support to the Westgate Bridge
Your on 23FM hey we just got a message here from the boys in blue
For the owner of a silver porshe rego number STUD 01
"You’re a complete wanker"
Alright let’s go way back now the former king of pop
Now king of cool. Darryl

Well I used to wear tight satin flares
And drive teenage girls insane
Now those dacks are gone
And my shirt stays on
But the mic technique is still the same

Sometimes now as the days go by
I remember with disbelief
One summer when old Sid was a boy (?)
And my fans all had their own teeth

Awwh yeah there’s a guy who wrote the book
And like a fine bottle of wine
He just keeps on getting better how’s that. 23FM Here's Kate

"Oui mi su grande"(?)
When I mentioned my love dimensions
Who could possibly resist
With these bedroom eyes and carport thighs
I'm a sexy scientologist
Sometimes I sing the blues, sometimes its disco pop
Sometimes I wonder how I squeezed into this top

Are we talking about one foxy lady or what?
Coming to you loud and live right here on your classic rock connection 23 FM

We sing of dust and blue sky mines and people forced to beg
I look like a man that’s trying to dance with 240 volts up each leg
So put down that toupee
I don’t need no hair
Just a decent hat
A seat in senate
And some chiropractic care

Okay your on 23FM cruising through another classic rock regatta
And time to check out today's weather
Fine and mild that's the call from the boys in the bureau
Speaking of calls hello
Hello am I on?
Yo
G’day its Wayne here
I just wanted to say how much I enjoyed the music you’re playing..
Hey thanks a lot
..not very much at all
Thanks Wayne just for you lets backtrack now with five more in a row

"Our fashion sense has failed"(?)
"We look like beached whales"
"I need to be in bed by 9:15"
"Gonna be a superstar with the right producer and a decent bra"
"Our records don't go gold they just go green"

Aint it the truth
23FM ready to rock got some traffic news here
It’s heavy downtown, moving slow in the suburbs
And the freeway's doin' what a freeway should
And you know I’ve been thinking hey call me a greenie
But aint it time this government did something about the ozone layer
and hydroflurocarbons I mean what is the correct spelling? Let’s get that sorted out.....

[charlie1]

The subtitles list it as "you been messing with gnocchi" in the film clip if remember properly. It's on the Bottom Draw section of the dvd. That may have just been a joke, but it sounds possible.
Yes, I'd always thought that's what it was, and I actually suggested that first, but then I had another listen and realised it could be anything. Gnochhi didn't seem to make as much sense as "nicest", as the other lines reference other James Reyne or Aussie Crawl songs.

Here are the Five More in a Row lyrics:

RA: Alright, you are back on 23FM.
Your home base of classic Oz rock where the
Red-hot hits are coming at ya 24 hours a day.
Right now we’re halfway through a no-repeat,
Double-shot, commercial-free, all-request,
Ultimate album-side workforce music marathon,
And let’s kick it along with this guy.

MH: I’m a skateboard rocker, my haircut’s
A shocker and my clothes are op-shop rejects.
I got a new sensation-strange relationship
With Jason Donavon’s ex.
Sometimes I think I’m Jagger,
Sometimes I look like a dork.
I just wish I could dance in these stupid
Black pants, but it’s hard enough to even walk.

RA: Oh you know, I think there’s a message in that
Song for us all – Don’t mess with non-prescription drugs.
You got your stereo dial anchored on 23FM, this country’s biggest
And best music mix. And speaking of big, let’s do some Dragon.

D: Ohhh! We’ve been around so many years, no-one knows our
Age. But when we play at concerts now, they reinforce the stage.
We’re blocking out the April sun every time we move about! Ohhh!
We haven’t had a groupie since Jenny Craig kicked us out!

RA: And don’t forget Marc and the boys will be down in Melbourne
This weekend playing support to the West Gate Bridge. You’re
On 23FM. Hey we just got a message here from the boys in
Blue for the owner of a silver Porsche rego number STUD
01 ‘You’re a complete wanker’. Alright, let’s go way back
Now – the former king of pop, now the king of cool, Daryl.

DB: Well, I used to wear tight satin flares and drive
Teenage girls insane. Now those dacks are gone and
My shirt stays on, but the mike technique is still the same.
Sometimes now as the days go by, I remember with disbelief, one
Summer when old Sid was a boy and my fans all had their own teeth.

RA: Aww yeah, there’s the guy who wrote the
Book. And like a fine bottle of wine, he just keeps
on getting better. How’s that? 23M, Here’s Kate.

KC: “Oui mu su grande”.
When I mentioned my love dimensions,
Who could possibly resist?
With these bedroom eyes and carport
Thighs, I’m a sexy scientologist.
Sometimes I sing the blues, sometimes its disco pop. (Yeah, yeah)
Sometimes I wonder how I squeezed into this top.

RA: Are we talking about one foxy lady or
What? Coming to you loud and live, right here
On your classic rock connection – 23FM.

MO: We sing of dust and blue sky mines and people forced
To beg. I look like a man that’s trying to dance with 240 volts
Up each leg. So put down that toupee, I don’t need no hair.
Just a decent hat, a seat in the senate, and some chiropractic care.

RA: Okay you’re on 23FM cruising through another classic rock regatta.
And time to check out today’s weather – fine and mild, that’s the call
From the boys in the bureau. And speaking of calls, hello?

W: Hello am I on?

RA: Yo!

W: G’day its Wayne here. I just wanted to say
How much I enjoyed the music you’re playing…

RA: Hey thanks a lot.

W: …not very much at all.

RA: Thanks Wayne. Just for you let’s
Backtrack now with Five More in a Row.

MH: I increase record sales!
D: We look like beached whales!
DB: I have to be in bed by 9:15.
KC: Gonna be a superstar with the right producer and a decent bra!
MO: Our records don’t go gold they just go green.

RA: Ain’t it the truth? 23FM, ready to rock.
Got some traffic news here – it’s heavy downtown,
moving slow in the suburbs, and the freeway’s
doing what a freeway should. And you know, I’ve
been thinking, hey call my a greenie, but ain’t it
time this government did something about the ozone
Layer and Hydro Fluorocarbons. I mean, what is the
correct spelling? Let’s get that sorted out alright, yeah!

I threw this together for fun (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ihTXl0AqVbY). Don't know how long it'll stay up until it gets pulled down.

[half goon half god]

Ace. Nice editing there. :D

Very well done shitscared, are you working on five more in a row now?:-D:-D

[stupidmeatball]

That was great. I loved the "I should be so lucky" sync.

The song still gets played a fair bit in Brisbane. Here's proof from today at lunchtime (http://www.mediafire.com/?gwrbwenznwz).

It shows up every year in the "20** Greatest songs of All Time" countdown MMM run, Last I remember it was around the 250 mark. I remember stopping work for the half hour between the sizzle and the announcement of the title, so I could get the name of it. (That was 2007, before I joined this awesome forum.)
