The final songs from the final Sideshow (01/12/2007)

[pikewerfer]

Without YouTube, I would have never discovered this awesome show!! Great to know there are such great shows out there (unfortunately none of this here in my country - thanks, Aussies, for sharing this with us poor, poor Germans). :-)

[InsolitusOdd]

@pikewerfer

I agree with you there mate. I'm from the UK, nd we get nothing nearly as funny as this or Good News Week, in my opinion. I just wanna live over there now.

[alicethedork]

Does anybody have the words to this?

[ss3goku00]

The ABC have left a hole in my heart that will never again be filled. RIP Sideshow.

[summers283]

I have never got so emotional about a song. I blame Paul McDermott. But in a good way. 'Cos he's so awesome and The Sideshow rocked. =') x

[Persiana]

omg, Tripod and the Umbie Brothers!

[gwerith]

Why do all of the good shows need to be canceled?

[Muglez14]

Because the ABC has a crippling fear of money and success, apparently.

[mellon23510]

ahh both gatesy and scod gave him a little hug =P

and dave's spastic jumping is fantastic rofl

[Boldar64]

tnat my mum is 73 & got mad thett took off the SideShow,,, I asked her"you watch it? she say yes, why?? I cracked up :-) is all needs be said :-)

[Chameleonefx]

I love The Sideshow and GNW both old and new, but the new eps feel a little more restricted... I mean Paul doesn't sing... what's that about??? His voice is to incredible to waste... I hope they bring out DVDs and CDs from The Sideshow!!!

[nickiholland]

reckon ay!

[missphoenix89]

Paul looked a bit shocked there when the streamer exploded out of the cannons, he turned around and laughed as if to say "what the fuck?!" I think at 5:10 you can actually see him saying that, haha love you paul.

Ahh, good old sideshow, I'll miss it like a junkie!!!

[nickiholland]

the new gnw doesn't touch the sides of the sideshow.

though something paul said on gnw is true- they should have an award at the logies for the best show axed by the abc.

cameron and scod... cameron is 'happily and busily playing in his own and paul kelly's band' and scod... he and tripod have stuff around australia. but thats only like one hundreth of all the cast and crew.

i miss this show, bring it back.

good news week is ok.

THE SIDESHOW OWNS.

[gallac]

good night visitor V3039.

"paul is happy to be back on the abc. Paul is happy to be anywhere"

its a constant source of disapointment the the abc seems to give a chance then revoke it so fast.

my fondest regards to everyone involved in the sideshow.

[mddawson1]

The Sideshow is being repeated on ABC2 Thursdays at 22.30

[nickiholland]

If only I had ABC 2.

[mddawson1]

You can get digital set-top-boxes for as little as $40 that will pick up ABC2 in most areas of Australia. Its also on Foxtel.

[nickiholland]

yeah I should. convince my folks to. Or get Foxtel.

[amberangel112]

watch Paul at 5:07 - 5:10

[darklittlegoose]

yayyah, i see Hoops on the 3rd Feb! I think I'll give her a hug if I meet her.

[Randomosity666]

I love that Hoops is getting cosy with all the boys around her, its just shows you what a family that little cast had become!

I miss them like a junkie!

[lolsista]

aww great comment. Love to imagine them as a family. Miss the show. Claire sings quiwtly I can't hear her. Or do the boys sing loudly.

[Randomosity666]

I don't think she actually sings, I believe she just mimes it ... but David does sing rather loud. Hahaha!

[XxLoveJessxX]

i miss the sideshow

i saw the last one

i was there

it was the best

i met paul

[lolsista]

it's so sad I can't believe how much i cried

[lolsista]

Aww I miss the sideshow ),:

[scodyonandgatesy]

I hated the sideshow - it's c***

The only good thing about it was my uncle scod and simon and steven.

I'm glad it's finally over! :D

[lolsista]

grrr the sideshows great how can you say that about it :(

[Macflea]

Question - I know they quite often cover songs at the end, but what's this song? Cover or not? It's just that it sounds very Meatloaf.

[Muglez]

They made it themselves. Notice the mention of his Visitor number. XD

[Geordieness]

Ah ... I missed this when it first aired. I'm deeply saddened that it was the final show! I hope they decide to release this on DVD, because if they don't ... *shakes fist*

[Muglez]

This song makes me cry. Quite litterally. It's so sad that they took this off the air... :-\

[yuppiedog0]

you must be really passionate about sideshow.i know i am!its the best show in the world!to abd its off the air..=[

[Muglez]

I refuse to watch the ABC now. XD

[lolsista]

I'd refuse to watch it but it has spicks and specks and the chaser and other good shows

[Muglez]

The Chasers are running out of stuff to do. They're really stretching it these days. Spicks and Specks is alright, though being this young I dont understand much of it. XD

[yuppiedog0]

lol.But I do have to agree with you on the chaser,they are funny but they were running out of new things when it was still on.But I still love it,and spicks and specks of course.

[Jaded67]

Thanks Mddawson - you're a champ!

[lolsista]

TV better then the science of philosophy, better than religion or charity, better then being there!

[lolsista]

TV better then the science of philosophy, better than original charity, better then being there!

[BurkeFeedMe]

Better than RELIGION OR charity ;)

[lolsista]

thanx

[Muglez]

I always thought it was "Science or Pornography" but that might just be a figment of my extremely sick and twisted mind. >.>

[lolsista]

That was so sad! I cried for an hour! They looked so happy though! I love the show and the go and axe it! I signed the petition for $25... Oh, when i watch this I cry...

[luvmsiahatethegov]

Why did they stop the show?

I just found this brilliant show and they suddenly stop it. Why????

[morgancheese]

i cried!!

they seemed to have heaps of fun at the final taping though, wish i was there!

[ohwnosrepeht]

Watched this last night...I wish the executives wouldn't be such fags :(

[Noiseworker]

I'm personally offended at your inappropriate use of the word 'fag'.

[ohwnosrepeht]

I'm very sorry if I did - when I say fag, I usually mean it to be a simple block of wood.

[Noiseworker]

Well, the ABC can't have much more between their ears than wood, so...

[areyoutired]

Said it before and I'll say it again. Thank you, mddawson1. You're a gem.

[Muglez]

Replying so you can watch this again, Are. :)

[areyoutired]

Aw thanks, Muglez. So sad, isn't it? We're sending Christmas cards to the ABC, saying All I want for Christmas is The Sideshow, by the way. If you've got a spare card and a stamp...

Let me know what song you want to listen to again and I'll go and reply you on it.

[Muglez]

:P I'm so doing that too. Great idea. :D

Hmmm.. If you're around later and listening to anything from Tim Minchin, Eddie Perfect or Paul, I've replied on pretty much all of them. XD

[lolsista]

good idea I'm gonna do that too!

[lolsista]

it's a good thing to reply to people so they can watch the video again kudos to you :D

[Muglez]

:D

Ninja reply!

[Muglez]

It took me a fair amount of searching to find a comment by you, Are. :O

Replying to make you listen to it again. :P

[murdock8500]

:'(

[Nbarnowl]
