Default Hilarious Video Compilation: Peter Costello Impersonates Peter Garrett in Parliament

Hey guys,

Was just looking up Mindight Oils Video's on the tube' and stumbled across this GEM!
FOr those who dont know, Peter Costello quoted the lyrics from Midnight Oils "Beds are burning" During a parliamentary debate last week. On announcing that he was about to read out the lyrics for all and sundry, a few in parliament called out for him to sing the Lyrics.

Peter Costello responded by flailing his arms out to his sides, and then moving them up and down in front of him in a scissor motion as Peter Garrett watched in amusement... This is the video of the whole shebang, albeit with a twist!
I have just regained the composure to make this thread, becasue in the second half of the vid, some bright spark has looped Peter Costello's "Garret" Dance to the sound of The Oil's "Beds are Burning". They also have dubbed PC's voice (as he quoted it in Parliament) over the song. Oh, Gold!

Enjoy, Merry Christmas Guys and A Safe and Happy New Year!

Clicky

Costello's a funny man when he gets going, a few of our MPs in Canberra would be pretty good stand up comedians.

Still doesn't top Dubya. Anything he says which is captured on film is a comedy.

from what i understand.

some period a while ago, the govt leased a building off the ALP or something, and the lease was around that mark.

have to check that thought, not certain.


and yes, costello is a funny man. id have him as a PM. hes actually got a wit, and isnt a robot, theres a number of funny instances ive heard of with him :p
