Dance with My Father

Uh, hope you had a lovely day." But this was one of the first ones where from the first audition, they wanted to know who the person they wanted to hire was.

It- the first thing was like, "Who are you?" And we had this lovely conversation that I almost forgot it was an audition, and they were like, "Oh yeah, can you now sing that song?" Oh, right, that old thing, you know? Um, but it was such a beautiful, beautiful audition process, and the Choir of Man family is, is, um, very welcoming, so I'm so appreciative to be, to be now taking it on, on a UK tour for the first time.

How does that compare to how you usually go into auditions? As in usually you kind of be like, "Right, this is what they want.

This is...

It's now act two where we get to give a...

I have the privilege of saying where these lads are from, like what home means to them, and we are playing an extended version of ourselves, and we're giving that every night.

Uh, [laughs] he, you are my friend-

... your, a girlfriend called me to check on your alibi, and I am here to report that your, your lady saw you out with another man, and that, uh, too bad.

I think this song, this would've been my least stinky of all the songs.

And here's a weird, a thing that I've never, I don't think I've ever said this on the podcast, but I think the song Dance with My Father is not...

I don't like it.

...

Dance With My Father ends up charting-
