 Sing-A-Long

Kevin’s Night in Scores

Written and performed by Daniel Viles as part of the How Hard Can It Be?
segment on ABC Local Radio Brisbane during 2007 after Kevin Rudd was re-
vealed to have spent a night in New York’s Scores nightclub while there on
official business in 2004.

This is a song called “Kevin’s Night in Scores”

It’s about Kevin Rudd... and his night in Scores
Now most of you think this is when he went astray
but that’s the night that made him what he is today.
He walked in that night a champion of Labor Right
and walked out a hero of the poor
So this is a song that’s all about Kevin
Kevin’s night in Scores

Kevin sat by the stage and yelled out “show us some skin!”
The effect was so stunning, he tried again in Mandarin.
The dancer was confused but she knew she had the power
so she offered him a lap dance for 200 bucks an hour
Kevin called out, “Good Lord! No working man can afford
those kind of prices under new I.R. laws” (a-ha!)
So this is a song that’s all about Kevin
Kevin’s night in Scores

Then Kevin saw a vision and he heard angelic voices,

singing, “The problem’s not strip clubs, the problem’s Work Choices”
So he stood on the stage, and he declared, “of these laws,
I want to be the eraser.”
Then he ran out of Scores, left his trousers behind,
and the girls put them next to Malcolm Fraser’s.

So Trouserless Kevin came back with a plan

for affordable ‘lappies’ and more pay in the hand
“I’m an economic conservative!” he tells all in sight
and the girls back at Scores say, “yeah, he got that right.”
But if cheaper lap dances lead to economic answers
then let the girls lead the applause
So this is a song that’s all about Kevin
Kevin’s night in Scores
So this is a song that’s all about Kevin
Kevin’s night in Scores

 Flashback

The 80’s Will Live Forever

It was the decade of decadence. It was about glitz and glamour as well as baubles, bangles, and beads.
Scott married Charlene and Lady Diana Spencer joined the Royal Family. The first desktop computers went on sale
and Saturday morning cartoons were the best they’ve ever been. Bob Hawke was Prime Minister and Uluru was
handed back to the traditional owners of the land. Tom Cruise felt the need for speed and Cyndi Lauper showed
her True Colours.

When did all this take place? We can only be talking about that terrific time period – the electrifying eighties.

>> 
Here are 21 ways for you to verify that you’re a part of (or belong in)
the 1980’s.

You thought She-ra (Princess of Power!) and He-Man should hookup.

 Two words: Hammer Pants.

Mobile phones were the size of a brick and seen clipped to the belts of cheesy
 old rich guys with bad hair.

You had either: a Cabbage Patch Kid, My Little Pony, a Rubik’s Cube, or some-
 thing with a Star Wars logo.

 You yearned to be a member of the Baby-sitters club and tried to start a club
of your own.

 You ever got seriously injured on a Slip’n’Slide.

 You had big hair and you knew how to use it.

 You can still recite dialogue from any movie starring Molly Ringwald.

 You had plastic streamers on your handle bars and “spokey-dokes” on your
rims.

You had or attended a birthday party at McDonalds.

You wore stonewashed denim jackets and were proud of it.

 You wanted to change your name to “JEM” in Kindergarten. (She’s truly outra-
geous)

 You watched “Fraggle Rock “.

 You know the profound meaning of “WAX ON, WAX OFF”.

 You ever wore fluorescent clothing. (some of us... head-to-toe)

 You remember boomboxes and walking around with one on your shoulder like
you were all that.

 Your parents were afraid you’d cut yourself putting on a snap bracelet.

You can remember what Michael Jackson looked like before his nose fell off
 and his cheeks shifted.

 You remember Hypercolour t-shirts.

If someone says, “I don’t know,” you automatically expect green slime to mys-

teriously fall from the ceiling.

 You wore out your thumbs playing video games on: Atari, Sega, Nintendo, and
Commodore 64.

Proposition 777: the Temporary Extermination of Man
I
n a radical attempt to restore world peace
and unite the human population in love and
harmony, the female constituents of the
World hereby nominate Proposition 777: The
Temporary Extermination of Man.
Men have had their chance but as we see it, they
have completely screwed up the world. Men have been
in power for the last 2,000 years. Before Christianity,
Paganism was the influential religion. Many cultures
had many different female deities. In any event,
women held the positions of power in office while
men stayed at home and reared the children. It was
even the women who went to war when needed.
Eventually, Christianity replaced Paganism and became
popular because it promoted patrilineal descent and
succession rather than matrilineal. Meaning men were
in power within the family and within the church.
Men: You’ve had a good run, and we gave you
2,000 years. But now it is over. It just isn’t working.
We are terribly sorry but the only way to effectively
correct the mess men have created is with the
extermination of existing men.
mag5_1.indd 11
Hypothetical
Proposition 777 constitutes the following:
All men beyond pub erty will be required to submit
a sperm sample for cryogenesis. These samples will be
frozen and used for later propagation with the help of
in vitro fertilization.
All men aged sixteen and up worldwide shall
report to duly authorised extermination centres which
will be temporarily constructed once Proposition 777
is voted into effect. These centres will be responsible
for painlessly eliminating the weaker sex quickly and
effectively.
Without the influence of older male figures who
have already been corrupted by the male ego, society
and sexism, the younger males will be able to grow
within society without being corrupted by male
perversion, sexism, prejudice and sexist societal views.
These boys will grow to learn and not take for granted
the true and pure equality (if not...SUPERIORITY ) of
women to men. The “Boy’s Club” will no longer exist
and will never exist again. All boys will be brought up
to respect and worship their female counterparts.
The male sperm collected shall be used to increase
the population if needed. Although the women of
the world have agreed to rid this planet of men, it is
only temporary. We would like to breed a new crop
not only to enjoy men with a better disposition, but
also for partnership. Although women will not need to
have sex to survive as a species (thereby proving our
superiority), we still enjoy it.
Women across the globe are already in place to
take the necessary steps and fill the positions of power
which will be vacant when the men are eliminated.
Once the men of the world are gone, rest assured that
wars will end and tea parties will begin. Women are
more effective managers (they run offices and the
home harmoniously), are better at compromise and
make less rash decisions. In no time at all, the world
will be back on its feet.

 Red VIP Card Club Review

Red VIP Card Club Review: Hypnotiq @ Cesar’s Nightclub

Hypnotiq is Brisbane’s biggest and most
innovative rnb/hip-hop weekly event, located at
Cesar’s Nightclub, Adelaide Street. Hypnotiq plays
host to a unique yet authentic Saturday night
urban event that has quickly become established
as Brisbane’s premier night out, and favourite gig
spot amongst dj’s and mc’s across Australia and New
Zealand. After kicking off mid June 2007, Hypnotiq
quickly established itself as a one-of-a-kind event not
yet seen by Brisbane and six months later, Hypnotiq
has officially claimed the title of Brisbane’s hottest
urban destination.
As the brain child of long-time Brisbane Promoter
Scott Ferris (The Underdome, Chi Bar, Underground),
Hypnotiq was designed as an original concept - a
sophisticated hip-hop/rnb night that showcased
the cutting edge of urban music, fashion and
entertainment, making it enjoyable and attractive
to even the most casual fans of the genre. This

goal remains at the centre of Hypnotiq’s success;
their innovative myspace page ( www.myspace.
com/hypnotiqsaturdays ) reward online friends with
special promotions and prizes, and their monthly
line-up strives to keep up with the Australia and New
Zealand’s freshest DJ’s and MC’s.
Urban music remains the cornerstone of Hypnotiq
Saturdays, and to this end Cesar’s provides a variety
of international and local acts, both upcoming and
established artists. The Cesar’s guest list includes
superstars such as Kanye West, The Ying Yang Twins,
Scribe, Talib Kweli. Australian sport stars Anthony
Mundine, Karmichael Hunt, Willie Tonga, Roy Asatarsi
and members of the Brisbane Bullets. Furthermore,
Hypnotiq has exclusively presented Australia and New
Zealand’s premier nightclub entertainers, including
DJ’s Nino Brown, Samrai, Sirvere, Tikelz, Peter Gunz,
Moto, P-Money, CXL, Stanley, Kronic, Skooby, Mike
Hyper, A-Style, and Major Label Rap artists, including
Tyree, Young Sid, Ken Hell and PNC. Despite the
regular visitors, Hypnotiq has based its foundation on
local talent. Resident DJ’s Bluffsta and Stupified are
recognised as Brisbane’s premier party rockers, and are
supported by the best MC’s in the business, MC MZRE
and Dirty Mob.
Hypnotiq was designed from the ground up to be
a unique and innovative urban nightclub experience,
and this is reflected in all aspects. The bar stocks some
of the most exclusive top-shelf liquors and spirits,
including Alize’, Patron, Hypnotiq, Grey Goose and
XO Hennessey. The recently refurbished club includes
widescreen plasma TV’s, playing the latest hip-hop and
rnb video clips, multiple pool tables, a private invite-
only VIP area, and a state-of-the-art sound system
guaranteed to keep the dance floor packed all night
long.
So what’s next for Hypnotiq and Cesar’s Nightclub?
This December will see NZ’s most celebrated DJ - P-
Money perform an exclusive live set, followed by NZ
hip-hop’s ‘Rookie of the Year’ PNC. A special throwback
night to pay tribute the New Jack Swing of the 90’s,
and a very merry Christmas party December 27th,
complete with Santa’s Sexy little helpers! But to cap
off Hypnotiq’s very successful debut year, Cesar’s has
a unique New Years Event planned featuring NZ’s
Number one club team DJ Sirvere and MC MZRE, as well
as a performances from Brisbane’s most successfully
independent rap artists, Dirty Mob and new-comer
Tehn Diamond. For authentic urban entertainment,
Hypnotiq promises to get it poppin’ every Saturday
night at Cesar’s Nightclub.

 People You Know

Do You Work with a Stinker?

Let’s face it, if you work, you undoubtedly have run into a smelly co-worker. These folks come in all types and even
are in all different levels of authority. Yes, even those on the upper level of the corporate ladder may be a smelly
reeking, stinking coworker. You can try to hide from these people, but they are everywhere. A smelly person can
downright ruin a good working atmosphere. Worse, many of these people are not even aware of their problem.
Let’s review the types of co-workers you may run into.

Lunch Breath

This person apparently has no idea what certain foods can do to a person’s breath. At lunch
time, they consume the most obnoxious foods they can think of. Garlic bases foods, Italian,
etc. These foods can have such a potent affect on your breath that they can smell up an entire
office just by merely breathing. Eating mints after lunch will NOT help, as the offending odor
is coming from deep within your stomach. No amount of tooth paste or breath mints will help,
and if this person happens to burp? Get out of the way and get out the glade plug-ins!

The Thick as Mud Perfume Women

Much like the Cologne man, these women douse their bodies with perfume so thick, it makes flow-
ers wilt and babies cry. Often, this women also has make-up on so thick, she is barely recognizable as
herself. This person leaves an odor trail wherever she goes. If the morning dose is not enough, midday,
this person breaks out the bottle of perfume and douses some more on, as if the first batch of perfume
somehow stopped smelling up the place.

The Smoker

The last type of person we will explore in this article is the smoker. This person comes back
from the “smoke break” just reeking of smoke. As a non-smoker, this odor can be quite
offensive. As a former smoker, this odor can be quite enticing. Whatever your stance, the
smoke odor also lingers on anybody within range.
Smelly coworkers can come in all types. It is up to you on how you handle the situation.
Typically, the best approach is to simply confront the person straight-up and discuss the
concern. Sometimes they may not even be aware of the issue. If all else fails, get used to
holding your breath or purchase a gas mask.

How to Deal With Hangovers
A hangover is something
that just about all of us have
experienced at some point in
time. After spending a night out
drinking, you may wake up in the
morning with your head feeling
heavy and your stomach in knots.
At that moment, you probably
decided that you would never drink
again, to prevent this awful feeling
from happening again. No matter
how hard you may have tried
though, chances are that you’ve
had another drink.
Even though we all know that
alcohol can lead to hangovers, the
cause of a hangover is something
we don’t know. Alcohol does
have some positive effects on the
body, although it can also lead to
negative effects such as hangovers.
Some doctors will actually
recommend it, while others will tell
you never to drink it. Even though
drinking is good, moderation is
the key. The easiest way to avoid
hangovers is to drink in moderation
- and never get drunk.
As many of us already know,
whisky, bourbon, and wine can
result in a much harder hangover
than vodka or beer. For many
people, chemicals in wines or yeast
found in unfiltered beers can result
in headaches. Beer, wine, and
liquor can be fun and relaxing
to drink, although if you
aren’t careful you can
easily get a headache
or a hangover.
Even though
the cause for
20 GOMAD magazine

hangovers is unknown, it has
been proven that the headaches
associated with hangovers stem
from dehydration. With alcohol
being a diuretic, it will make you
urinate quite often. Therefore,
if you drink alcohol or beer on a
daily basis, your body will remain
dehydrated. When you wake up in
the morning with a bad headache
and turn to coffee, which is also a
diuretic, the process of dehydration
actually gets worse.
You’ll also need to do
something with the alcohol that
has been left in your body. Even
though a hangover can make you
want to stay in bed, the secret to
getting yourself back on track is
movement. To rid your body of
the alcohol, you’ll need sweat.
Sweating gets the toxins out of
your body, and helps you feel
better. You can exercise or have sex
to get over a hangover, as the heat
your body emits will be too much
for alcohol toxins to handle.
Although a hangover can be a
bit of a pain, it can be prevented.
The first rule of drinking any type
of alcoholic beverage is to never
drink on an empty stomach. If you
eat a good meal before you start
drinking, you’ll find that the food
can help you digest the alcohol
much better. When the alcohol
starts to attack your stomach, you
should consider eating foods that
are high in fat, such as cheese. You
can also sip some olive oil or drink
some water. The secret to making
sure that you don’t get a hangover
when drinking is to drink in
moderation and never let yourself
get too drunk.
Beer is digested very fast by
your body, which is why you should
always drink beer first if you plan
to mix drinks. Beer is digested the
fastest, and will also help your body
to absorb any other drinks you have
faster. You should always keep in
mind that when you drink alcohol,
your body will get dehydrated. Any
type of alcohol that you consume
is a diuretic and can dehydrate
your body very fast; therefore you
should always drink water with your
alcohol to ensure that you stay
hydrated.
