Um, you're listening to Indigo FM here, the Yackandandah Women's Shed, and you're listening here to Jess Barker today, one of our members, just getting to know Jess.
RobynneHOST
Jess has shared with us a few of her favorite songs, and the next one coming up, Dance Monkey, Tones and I. It's been in the news a little bit for the wrong reasons of late, so why Tones and I? Why Dance Monkey?
Jessamine BarkerGUEST
Oh, it's just a song that makes you wanna get up and dance.
Jessamine BarkerGUEST
[laughs]
Jessamine BarkerGUEST
Yeah.
RobynneHOST
Yeah.
RobynneHOST
Well, let's have a listen to Dance Monkey by Tones and I.
RobynneHOST
Here we go.
Ike MorganHOST
There's no gangsta rap, no ABBA, no Japanese noise art.
Ike MorganHOST
Well, there's Tones and I's Dance Monkey and something called The Business by Tiësto.
Ike MorganHOST
I wonder whether those were mistakes.
Ike MorganHOST
You know, Kristen might be mixing up her playlists a little bit.
Jeff PrestonPANELIST

MikeHOST
Uh, last time that Bournemouth beat Chelsea was the 14th of December 20- no, uh, 2019.
MikeHOST
What was the number one? It was that awful song Dance Monkey by Tones and I.
MikeHOST
Truly generational bad song, that.
MikeHOST
Uh, we have to pick our lions.
Travis AuldGUEST
So we think it's, that's going to be a big attraction, um, for next year.
Dwayne RussellHOST
Do you want to tell the world who you're after music act-wise? You got someone big coming, uh, from overseas, may I ask? Or you got Kylie back after her AFL Grand Final performance? Have you got, have you got Tones and I doing Dance Monkey, Travis? What have you got? [laughs]
Travis AuldGUEST
You're going to have to wait and see like everyone else, Dwayne.
Dwayne RussellHOST
All right.
Brent JagoHOST
But Tones and I was meant to do it, but they argued about her set list.
Brent JagoHOST
She wouldn't guarantee she'd play Dance Monkey.
Brent JagoHOST
And then I would say, no, no, no, that's your hit.
Brent JagoHOST
You've got to play Dance Monkey.
Brent JagoHOST
Which I think is fair enough.
Brent JagoHOST
They're paying you.
Brent JagoHOST
Ah, right.
Brent JagoHOST
Guess what song she sung?
Pat CliftonHOST
As far as I'm concerned and everyone's concerned, that was never meant to happen, right? And then they tried to get Tones and I.
Pat CliftonHOST
Then Tones and I were like, I'm not playing Dance Monkey.
Pat CliftonHOST
And then we're like, well, fine.
Pat CliftonHOST
Well, then we're not paying you.
Billy D'ArcyHOST
They play like...
Billy D'ArcyHOST
It's a lot of Dance Monkey in between scenes.
Billy D'ArcyHOST
A lot of Ninja Appliance ads.
Billy D'ArcyHOST
I mean, I've bought three air fryers since I've started watching, but...
20 MINS LATER
Billy D'ArcyHOST
Musician who doesn't want to play their hit song is just...
Billy D'ArcyHOST
It's so lame.
Billy D'ArcyHOST
Just say you don't want to do the gig, but this whole thing of I'm not playing that song anymore, it's like if the Rolling Stones in 2026 are still playing their hits, I'm pretty sure Tones and I can play Dance Monkey, you know? Is it really going to kill you, babe, to play the song, to play your song, the Tones and I song? But whatever.
Billy D'ArcyHOST
They played it after the first try.
Tim BlackwellHOST
You know, there was a lot of controversy around Tones and I, NRL grand final.
Tim BlackwellHOST
Did she pull out because they wanted her to play Dance Monkey and she didn't wanna play Dance Monkey, and that was the story we heard.
Ricki-Lee CoulterHOST
I just don't think that's true.
Tim BlackwellHOST
Well, guess what? She played Dance Monkey at the Deni Ute Muster.
Ricki-Lee CoulterHOST
Woo!
Tim BlackwellHOST
Over the weekend, she did perform it.
Tim BlackwellHOST
And she post-

Joel CaineHOST
So Brian, the, and Brooksy and co, the Dance Monkey saga continued.
Joel CaineHOST
So did you see what happened?
Bryan FletcherHOST
No, I did not.
Bryan FletcherHOST
It was a bit of a overlapping, so she couldn't get there.
Joel CaineHOST
Okay.
Bryan FletcherHOST
It was nothing to do with the Dance Monkey.
Joel CaineHOST
You reckon?
