I love how in the live performance, at the very end, he comes stomping back on the stage shouting "MATE, MATE, MATE, MATE, MATE, MATE ... you didn't think you'd get rid of me that easily did you?" Classic!
Terrific parody !! One really had to be there at this show, live, seeing the mock-up Howard character in action, accompaying this song with his histrionics and arms flailing everywhere & facial expressions, to appreciate the full impact of the biting parody herein. Brilliant !!
..so I'm told, pss funny. This is my favourite song from the show, but I was unable to manage my bladder watching Keating do Hewson slow.

such a shame that 'Antony Green' (the song about the voting in the 93 election) is not on the soundtrack - it was just hilarious...

I think at different times he wore a farmer costume, a green & gold tracksuit & some sort of soldier getup. So three, plus the main suit.
