Have got the AFL Grand Final pre game 'entertainment' on the television behind me - two time Grammy winner Irene Cara (who?) is bouncing around on top of a stage in the shape of the Toyota logo - oh, What A Feeling from Flashdance, with attendant cheergirls in pink spandex. I have to ask, what did she get her second Grammy for? All the club colours around the stage, in prayer to the Toyota corporate dollar - cynical, moi?
And oh yay, the Australian Idol finalists singing Waltzing Matilda. Or rather, murdering it - shit, I even prefer John Williamson singing it after the haka at the rugby. And just when I thought how they could improve on the pre game show, what with half an hour still to go, here come the Young Divas, aka Idol contestants of the past. Gee, I wonder which channel is showing the AFL?
I don't mind Ricki Lee though - no, not going to say why lol - but again, the choice of song, Chicago You're The Inspiration. Is this the Superbowl or something? No, here's some Aussie content, the club songs, always the highlight of the game - NOT. And no doubt that fucking Holy Grail song will make an appearance.
Okay, I have to admit that Daryl Braithwaite's Little Darling isn't that bad of an Australian song. Up There Cazaly however, is not.
Better go or this will really turn into a boring live-blog - yes, not that it wasn't before I know.
