sammy j & randy - aussie music saved my life lyrics

[sammy j]
when i was twelve years old
i bought myself a radio from d+ck smith electronics
(d+ck)
i took it home
(took it home)
ran a bath
(ran a bath)
then i fl!cked the switch to triple j!

and as i lay in the water
splishin’ and a+splashin’ around
to the sound
of the sweet underground
aussie music
(aussie music)
aussie music
(ossie ostrich)
the music took control
i began to rock and roll

and i was dancin’ in the bath
time is for music
is the soundtrack of my life
is now complete
and i am
kickin’ out my feet
to the music
(aussie music)
aussie music
(aussie home loans)
i kick the radio into the water
(sammy j is electrocuted)

[triple+o operator]
triple+o, what’s your emеrgency?

[sammy j’s mother]
my son sammy j is unconscious in the bath!

[triple+o operator]
do you know what happenеd?

[sammy j’s mother]
i think he was electrocuted!

[triple+o operator]
is he breathing?

[sammy j’s mother]
i don’t know, i’ll check!

[triple+o operator]
oh no, don’t touch him!!

(sammy j’s mother is electrocuted)

[sammy j]
now i’m lying in a hospital bed
and my mother is dead
and the doctor has said i’m in a coma
(in a coma)
in a coma
(my sharona)
and he’s talking to my daddy
and he’s breaking the news
he says:
[doctor]
mr. j, during the electrocution, it appears your son injested a great deal of australian music into his bloodstream

[sammy j’s dad]
oh god, doctor! is there anything we can do?!

[doctor]
there is one thing we could try, but+

[sammy j’s dad]
but what, dammit?!

[doctor]
it’s a little unconventional!

[sammy j’s dad]
(gasps)
you don’t mean+

[doctor]
yes!

we’re gonna have to hook your son up to a marshall amplifier
put a mike into his assh0l+
and then set his b+lls on fire
and invite a whole selection
of australian music legends
to perform here in his room!
[narrator]
and so, in a groundbreaking procedure, doctors attempted to resuscitate sammy j using nothing but the power of australian music + and, one by one, the who’s who of the australian rock industry arrived at the hospital to sing sammy j back to life!

paul kelly started early
whippin’ out the classics
but then gotye cut him off
and kept singing until missy higgins said that

[missy higgins]
i can only do two songs
i’m double+parked
and i cannot afford another ticket
because bernard fanning is my passenger!

[narrator]
and he’s looking around for the hilltop hoods
but they haven’t turned up
so they sent nikki webster instead:

[nikki webster]
i’ve been missin’
your strawberry kisses!

[narrator]
then timmy rogers came in
and when he started to sing
it nearly brought sammy back
but then he had a heart attack

[nurse]
doctor, he’s getting worse!

[doctor]
it appears the nikki webster+to+you am i transition overwhelmed him!

[nurse]
what do we do?!

[doctor]
we need a sedative! get me 10 dbs of angus & julia stone, stat!

[angus & julia stone]
we came as fast as we could!

we’ll inject a little song
into your big red veins

[doctor]
it’s working! now take it up a notch!

[the temper trap]
(starts singing)

his temperature is high
and we want him to be

[silverchair]
wakin’ up strong in the morning
on a drip of saline

[narrator]
matt corby’s in the corner
on the phone to sarah blasko
she rushes in
and she says:

[sarah blasko]
is he awake
or is he dead?
and who’s that dude
with the purple head?

[randy]
my name’s randy. it’s very nice to meet you, ms. blasko, i’m a big fan!

[sammy j]
randy, this is my flashback

[randy]
yeah, i know, sammy, but i’ve come back from the future to share some very important information with the doctor, so shut up and get back in your coma!

[sammy j]
okay…

[randy]
doctor, sammy j has not purchased a new record since 2001! he’ll only respond to the classics! so i brought along some friends…

[crowded house]
can we come inside to see how he’s feelin’?
just don’t tell the doctor that we’re from new zealand

[narrator]
(as cold chisel sings)
well, the last breath out of sammy’s almost gone

[doctor]
code blue, nurse, code blue!

[narrator]
(as cold chisel sings)
i said, the last breath out of sammy’s almost gone

[doctor]
stand back, there are men at work!

[men at work]
is sammy j still under?
(whistles melody)
can we wake him from his slumber?

[narrator]
and oh no
here comes peter garrett!

[peter garrett]
i flew straight in from canberra!

[doctor]
it’s too late, mr. garrett… he’s gone

[narrator]
and the entire australian music industry gathered around sammy j’s deathbed to say their final farewell to the brave little boy that had captured their hearts

[entire australian music industry]
and we may never meet again
so goodbye, you skinny little b+st+rd

[doctor]
wait! there’s one thing left to try! he said he’d never tour again, but he’s our last hope!!

nurse

release the farnsy!!

[nurse]
but doctor, his voice isn’t what it used to be!

[doctor]
(points to audience)
well, we’ll have to get all the audience people here to help him out!

[nurse]
it’s generation y, they won’t know the words!!

[doctor]
well, they’ll just have to do the woah woah bits, they’ll be fine!!

[nurse]
stand back, he’s coming, take cover!!!

[john farnham]
you’re the voice, try and understand it
make a noise and wake him up!

[randy]
everybody!

(audience joins in: “woah woah!”)

[randy]
louder!

(audience joins in: “woah woah!”)

[nurse]
he’s stabilizing!!

[doctor]
he’s gonna be okay!

[narrator]
and so it was: thanks to whispering jack, sammy j woke from his coma and partied all night long with the past, present and future of australian music! and now, as an old man, sammy j fondly remembers that night + and i’ll tell you a little secret: he still listens to triple j in the bath!

[sammy j and randy]
dancin’ in the bath
time is for music
is the soundtrack of my+

(sammy j is electrocuted)

aussie music!
