Catchy tunes, brilliant lyrics and hilarious banter make this one of the most feelgood shows around. Australia's answer to Spinal Tap start with a spot-on parody of Europop before singing about adult mutant ninja turtles and a Bond villain with a lazy eye. The highlight is an extravagant medley of dozens of four-chord pop tunes. In a word: awesome.
