  • My name is really Dwayne, I doubt it's about me, but wow.

  • I am not Predudice....i hate everybody

  • 4 people from Outer Mongolia are not friends of Eddies

  • Brilliant!!! Are there really some people who don't get it?? LOL

  • eddie did a song on JJJ (a radio station) one day it was called "why gays dont get married" or something along those lines....it was so funny but i cant seem to find it. If anyone knows it can you please reply with the correct name or a link. Thanks.

  • Anyone who is offended by this song doesn't get it

  • I love the end part... Struggling to think of his aboriginal friends ahahaha...

    Great song Eddie, thumbs up!

  • one of the people that disliked this must have been Dwayne

  • What a fantastic and funny song!! Very clever!! Also a very sexy voice!

  • There are like four songs with Eddie Perfect on youtube. Why not more? I've heard this one over 50 times now, and it's still awesome but... :)

  • I uploaded a few of Eddie at bella Union doing songs with Casey Bennetto and others, but Casey asked me to take them down.

    My plan to help others like you = Fail...

  • Shame, youtube could really use more Eddie Perfect

  • good song

  • I'm indigenous and I think this F%CKIN HILARIOUS!

  • ah, Dyzm! One of my best friends!

    I should come visit you in Tokyo one day.... we can shoot off to Regional France when your on vacation.

    How are the boys doing in Kings?

  • It s Eton actually Anthony (Rhodes scholars in training). You'll have to come to my house in the south of france for summer and we'll discuss your portfolio

  • @Dyzm

    oh Eton! my apologies! It must've been my other indigenous friend who has his kids at Kings!

    I'll visit you in the South of France, but we can discuss Haute Cuisine and Fine Wines, I'm too lazy to discuss my portfolio!

  • The logic that Aboriginal people will never reach affluence is thankfully being thwarted as we speak, but the argument is so spot on. You can't piss around with racism regardless of who your friends are.

  • I can certainly understand why some people would be offended by this...but I love it. Firstly for that particular phrase 'some of my best friends...' I hear it all the time. It's like 'no offence, but..' or 'im not racist, but...'.

    And this raises SO many issues. Of underlying racism, of disadvantage, ignorance, and also the ridiculous idea that you're only "really" Aboriginal if you adhere to the popular idea of what Aboriginal cultures are.

    I love that it makes people so uncomfortable.

  • Yes, Eddie is definitely a genius...

    It is a lovely melody, but I don't think changing the lyrics would get his point across... ;)

  • umm lets have sex 2night

    i love this video oY

  • This sounded like BSB.. This could even be in a Disney cartoon. It has same sound..

    I like it!

  • great melody eddieperfect !!!! maybe change the lyrics, and this could a big hit!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I loved the feel of the song when I first heard it on TV.

    Good luck.

    Nathan

  • true true thumbs up

  • russell crowe is from new zealand.

    lol i like the "make like a boomerang and go back to england."

    you're funny.

  • yes, its pretty offensive in parts but you have to remember that it is just a joke! he knew what he was writting, those aren't his views he wrote a song about how other people act! he doesn't nessecarily agree with what hes saying he's doing comedy about what SOME people think!

  • this song totaly owns

  • Why do people have to unfunny stuff. Yes it may be racist but he's just singing based on the general beliefs of us perthies. lol. its funny. cos 97.5% of what hes singing is what we think of aboriginals. i love the sarcasm. lol lol loooool.

  • As funny as it is, it is also perhaps one of the most searing indictments of racism, disenfranchisement and cultural bias against aboriginal people I have ever seen. It did more than a dozen tomes. And b/c some of these conditions and views (think America and American Indians) I see his audiences looking VERY uncomfortable if entertained.

  • What makes the song so funny/incisive and biting is the immediate realization that none of these things could actually be true and none of the positive things (such as their appearance or culture) are seen as positive or are made into "primitive" or less than.

  • Well done Eddie,'bout time Oz had look at that themselves especially thatsaying "...some of my best friends... "

  • i have black friends so i can say whatever i like about them sure their people i hate but its justified because their my mates so if i say their lazy or useless or worse or you have to watch them cos they'll steal your wife's purse no one can say that I'm racist at all cos some of my best friends are aborig....... one of my best friends is abor............ none of my best friends are aboriginal
  • my white friends make a fuss they wish the were indigenous there jealous of their delicate hands their perfect teeth and permanent tan they wish they were athletic they wish they were smart they wish they had great taste in contemporary art they wish there spiritual life weren't so small not like my friends who are aboriginal we go to the opera contemporary dance we spend our holidays in regional France so busy having a hell of a time so grateful that these friends are mine
