I had forgotten just how beautiful this version was. "They talk like devils and sing like angels" indeed. This was the first version of Grapevine I'd heard, so when I heard the original I almost couldn't accept it. God, Paul has such a powerful and beautiful singing voice, the three of them definitely made this the best version of this song I'd ever heard, on an Australian comedy show no less.

Yep talk like devils for sure . Then the contrast of the angelic voices. The ad lib... Goon show ....humour..... Couldn't want for more ... they give an overload of the best entertainment .

I can't really think of any other comedy act like these guys. The way they'd be totally rude and violent, then sing like angels out of nowhere - incredible. I saw them do this live and it was jaw-dropping. I miss them. Australia needs this kind of satire more than ever. Times are dark here now.

Remember the old days when the ABC actually did good comedy, without a political agenda? We used to have Theatresports, The Big Gig and Geoffrey Robertson's Hypothetical all on the same night. DAAS did release at least one live performance video, and they are even freer with the language and ideas when they are not bound by tv rules.

It still had a political agenda, but it was subtle and well produced. A completely different world to the intellectual drivel the ABC produces now.

in the mid eighties, EVERYone under 25 was a Rik and Vyv wannabe. Their humour permeated everything back then. RIP wik. However these guys (DAAS) were original, and their wit genuine. Maybe you had to be there...
@Cynwidion6 жыл бұрын
You can call DAAS "Mayall and Edmondson Wannabees" if you wish, and that's fine. Nothing is created from a vacuum. But DAAS took their influences and built on them, and created something that was unique and brilliant. Criticising them for doing that is basically pathetic.
