Riptide

cute

yeah this is like my yeah it's it's a dad on an instagram but now it's all this political stuff and it's like that blows up but he'll still have one of his classic just dad things where like he posted a screenshot of like i think it's like a wikipedia page of songs that stayed in the charts longest and one of them was Vance Joy with Riptide, and then he had put a caption over it being like, good old Melbourne boy, great musician, so good to see him on this list.

And it's

like, that's got like 13

The guy

who...

Riptide is not fucking voting for the Liberals or One Nation or whatever.

Anyone who's got a fucking number one song that's lived on the charts and it's written on a fucking ukulele, unless it's the big fat Hawaiian guy that died at 34 from a heart attack doing Somewhere Over the Rainbow, I don't want to know about it.

That's right.

Great to hear the great sounds of Vance Joy and Riptide.

It was two in a row on The Chris Moyles Show.

We'll be right back.

Yes,

Noah? 2013 is the year Riptide by Vance Joy came out, which was the...

I got

caught in the riptide.

You know, you're at a hostel on a rooftop in, you know, God knows where, bloody Istanbul or something.

You're chatting to this guy, chatting to this girl, maybe everything's going great and, you know, there's a few awkward people over there but then, you know, someone breaks the ice by bringing out fucking the guitar and plays fucking Riptide.

You've just killed the whole vibe.

You've made it nice

for everyone because everyone can kind of sing along and bob their head like, yeah, Riptide.

Yeah, I first heard this song on Triple J. I was already in a good conversation and now it's over because we have to talk about Vance Joy.

We're in fucking Istanbul for Christ's sake.

And love Vance Joy as well.

But Riptide has been in the Australian charts for 13 years.

13 years.

And you're not joking, are you? No, it's not a joke.

I was thinking of Ching Le, the... who was in a prison in China.

Yeah.

And she said that she was teaching the other prisoners the lyrics to Riptide.

So, and that got her through.

Lady, running down to the riptide, taken away to the dark side.

I wanna be your left-hand man

Vance Joy and Riptide.

I g- I mean, you recognize it, right? It's got that kind of folky thing, a little bit of-

Yeah
