Requestival has hit its stride, and people have fully cottoned onto the fact that Triple J will just play any old shit if you request it. It’s at this point that a No Return stage is hit. Sure, it’s no Short People, but then again what is? 5:06pm, The Saddle Club – Hello World Twelve thirty five pee em on Tuesday and we were all, clearly, losing our minds while someone, clearly, reaped all the benefits. This isn’t cooked in the slightest, I just wanted to point out how big of a banger it is. It’s important – very important – to note that there are two versions of this song from that season of Drag Race, and that this is the good one. 10:36am, The Case of RuPaul’s Drag Race UK Season 2 – UK Hun? (United Kingdolls Version) Very kind of someone to request the New Zealand national anthem, and even kinder of Triple J to play it. 9:55am, Dave Dobbyn & Herbs – Slice of Heaven 8:23am, The Real Housewives of New Jersey – Gia’s Sad Songĭay two, everyone’s bleary-eyed and rattled from how crook day one was. One finger, three notes, a lot of Learned This Yesterday-grade wailing. The harrowing and deeply 2005-tier emotional film clip that accompanies it? Not bad. 7:47pm, Dire Straits – Money For Nothingīeyond the fact that this is merely a Gold FM staple moonlighting on the government airwaves, what’s most interesting about this is that I am 10,000% convinced someone requested it just to see if Triple J allowed it to be played, egregious slurs in the lyrics and all. For seconders, it’s not even CLOSE to the best AFL club song. Whoever got this one over the line is simply taking the piss. That it appeared early on the Monday should’ve been big red flags for all and sundry. It simply would not be Requestival without Borat Voice My Wife somewhere in the mix. 12:44pm, Erran Baron Cohen – O Kazhakstan This is such a quick-fire request that it simply had to have been pre-planned. Pre-midday Monday morning and we’re already seeing at least one wheel wobble off its axle. Not even 11pm on Day One and we burned through our Simpsons quota for the week. 10:42am, Kirk Van Houten – Can I Borrow A Feeling? But little did any of us listening know that it was but a mere siren song for the sheer calamity to come. There’s certainly worse or deeper cut Nollsy songs that could’ve been requested. Look, all things considered this was a fairly normal way to kick off a week where anyone can request literally anything. Triple J Have Absolutely Cooked It By Playing The 'You Wouldn't Steal A Car' Ad This Morning MONDAY 7:46am, Shannon Noll – Lift
