Adam:
|
Tripod are about to launch into their song-in-an-hour challenge. How are we this morning, Tripod?
|
|
Scod:
|
We're getting by, we're getting by.
|
|
Adam:
|
That is good. That's a confident, up-beat assessment of the state of affairs!
|
|
Gatesy:
|
Yeah, we're not dead! Hello!
|
|
|
|
|
Adam:
|
You've prepared for us the theme song from the worst film of all time.
|
|
|
And at the last second we asked for it to have thrown in...
|
|
Wil:
|
We asked if we could have a reference to Yonny growing up in the hard streets of Glen Waverley between the ages of 7 and 9.
|
|
Gatesy:
|
It's possibly the worst theme from a film, as well.
|
|
Adam:
|
Oh, you've managed to double-up, congratuations!
|
|
Scod:
|
There's a lot of just pure musical gags in there. Look out for the A minor 7.
|
|
Gatesy:
|
Yeah.
|
|
Scod:
|
It's huge.
|
|
Adam:
|
Take it away, Tripod!
|
|
|

Gatesy:
|
He was a man on a deadly mission,
|
|
|
She was a girl with a skin condition.
|
|
|
They fell in love,
|
|
|
In the shadow of... space.
|
|
|
|
|
Yon and Scod:
|
In the shadow of space,
|
|
Gatesy:
|
You can find your hero.
|
|
Yon and Scod:
|
Find your own place,
|
|
Gatesy:
|
In gravity zero.
|
|
|
|
|
Gatesy and Scod:
|
I know we sing about robots a lot.
|
|
|
But you have to admit,
|
|
|
That it seems appropriate,
|
|
|
In the shadow of space.
|
|
|
|
|
Yon and Scod:
|
Shadow of space...
|
|
|
Shadow of space...
|
|
Gatesy:
|

|
|
|
|
|
Scod:
|
After the war it was raining comets,
|
|
|
Fallout had caused us to fester and vomit.
|
|
|
Can love survive when we're barely alive?
|
|
|
Can we be fussy when we're all so pus-y?
|
|
|
|
|
Gatesy:
|
Maybe not here...
|
|
Yon and Scod:
|
Maybe not here...
|
|
Gatesy:
|
But in the shadow of space.
|
|
Yon and Scod:
|
Shadow of space.

Gatesy:

|
Find your own place,
|
|
Gatesy:
|
In gravity zero.
|
|
|
|
|
Yon:
|
She was a single Mum trying to get by,
|
|
|
In the mean streets of Glen Waverley.

In the sector of Zirgon B.

|
|
|
Based loosely on the life of Yonny.

|

|

Gatesy:
|
Which is below you...
|
|
