Simon OwensHOST
Yeah, he did sing a couple of songs.
Simon OwensHOST
Tony in Warrnambool said it sounds like Barry Crocker without him being Barry Crocker.
Simon OwensHOST
[laughs]
Andrew McLarenHOST
Uh, Ernest Borgnine, a suggestion from Janelle.
Mark WebbHOST
Oh, that theme is pure after-school telly, Lee, the sound of coming home, dumping your bag, and sitting too close to the set.
Mark WebbHOST
Barry Crocker singing about good neighbors still gets stuck in my head if I hear even three notes of it.
LeeHOST
For the younger crowd, Blue Peter, uh, was on at five past five with Caron Keating, Yvette Fielding, and John Leslie.
LeeHOST
That edition was dancing to the Harare beat with Zimbabwean bands like the Bhundu Boys and Oliver Mtukudzi, so it was a proper music feature rather than the usual, uh, make-and-do.
James ClementsHOST
Only made even more impressive by the fact that Drake May had like three fumbles with his tiny little hands.
James ClementsHOST
Lost one of them in an absolute Barry Crocker shocker.
James ClementsHOST
But... 22 receptions from his receivers, five for Hunter Henry, six for Dobbs.
James ClementsHOST
Mack Hollins goes out injured.

Tony MoclairHOST
Yeah
Tony LeonardGUEST
... at the grand final when basically we thought it was fabulous? What was it, '77, '78, when Barry Crocker w- riding high from The Adventures of Barry McKenzie.
Tony MoclairHOST
Great film.
Tony LeonardGUEST
Which, but, well, it, yeah, of its time, Tone.
15 MINS LATER
Tony MoclairHOST
What have you got?
speaker_18AUDIENCE
Uh, g'day, Tonys.
speaker_18AUDIENCE
Uh, 1977, the great Barry Crocker and his big, uh, collars.
Tony LeonardGUEST
Yes.
Matthew PantelisHOST
Mm.
Matthew PantelisHOST
And it's funny, when I was talking to Normie organizing the chat, he reminded me that Barry Crocker sang the very first one back in the late '70s, 1977, "I Dreamed a Dream"- Ooh ... which is a little bit sort of operatic and theatrical- Boring [laughs] ... for the football, I would've thought.
Matthew PantelisHOST
However, he was the first one to do the new national anthem- Ah ...
Matthew PantelisHOST
when Advance Australia Fair came in.
Reni MaituaGUEST
Or he can have a, yeah-
Denan KempHOST
Have a, a Barry Crocker
Reni MaituaGUEST
... absolute shocker.
Denan KempHOST
Yeah.
Hunter FujakGUEST
I think the thinking has actually probably evolved over time.
Hunter FujakGUEST
Uh, a sort of in- interesting historical fun fact for the listeners is that sort of the first credited pre-game entertainment for the VFL in, um, '77 was Barry Crocker, and that was the first time the final was telecast live into Melbourne, because there were concerns about, um, you know, going live eroding the gate receipts, uh, domestically.
Hunter FujakGUEST
And so previously it'd always been on delay.
Hunter FujakGUEST
So part of the introduction of pre-game was to try, I guess, convert it into a television spectacle whilst also protecting the value of attending in person.
Peter FordGUEST
So isn't that interesting? Now he presents himself as the kind of upholder of the truth and defender of her honour, but had nothing to do with it for the final years of her life.
Ross StevensonHOST
It may well turn out, Pete, that someone earlier this week, Monday, roughly this time, was right in describing him as, quote, a Barry Crocker.
Ross StevensonHOST
Yes.
