I thought Shaun Micaleff was trying too hard to sound like he was being satirical. “I. Am. Telling. A. Joke. Now. And. I. Am. Clever.” But last night I changed my mind. I watched the latest episode online: he’s relaxed into the role, and much lolz. Maybe I’m finally over the fact that I found Mr Micaleff to be a painful arsehole back when he was at the Uni of Adelaide with me. (Weren’t we all, though.) Maybe it’s because I was, as Christian Kerr alleges, the first person to play him Supernaut’s I Like It Both Ways. [...] [...] I didn’t like the first episode of Newstopia on SBS last year.

That was remarkably positive. On point 3, you've got to remember this was 1976, and <em>Countdown</em> was on TV at 6pm Sundays -- family time. This video was shocking enough as it was. @Snarky Platypus: Are you feeling OK? That was remarkably positive.

1. Great lyrics. I love the vocal delivery of the title line by the singer.
2. The track needs to have a little more urgency though — it doesn’t really embrace the over-the-topness till the last 30-45 secs.
3. There needs to be more inappropriate body and hand movements in the video.
4. Molly will do anything, won’t he?
