@ModernMovies An Australian singer, mostly played on Triple J Australian music radio station.

[mattyg250]

ill never smoke weed with willie again.... toby keith! this song is a ripoff

[Emerald3357]

Andrew doesn't actually have any feelings toward Ben Lee Chris wrote that song :P

[ModernMovies]

Does anyone actually know who Ben Lee is?

[blahsta7]

@ModernMovies not sure if this is a serious question, but he sang 'Catch my disease'

[ModernMovies]

@blahsta7

It was written for humorous effect.

[Australiophile]

WHAT AN ABSOLUTE PISSER

[danceswithasteroids]

Please, God, rid us of Rebecca Black.

[DrWena123]

but keep rebecca black!! hahaha nah im kidding you can take her buddah

[Browser771]

@SuperBassist96

u legend i completely agree just add rebecca black

[SuperBassist96]

Please take: Jonas Brothers, Selena Gomez, Demi Lavato, Justin bieber

thnx

[BenGab72]

Poor jeff and michael :(

[vonnycav]

Hilarious. I love this song and agree with all of it (apart from the Slim Dusty part). It's kind of like Eulogy Song only slightly more sensitive (except 1:03 - 1:19, that bugs me slightly).

[VaiTrooper]

@vonnycav

Ummm why does that bit bug you lol

[vonnycav]

Please take the following:

Justin Bieber

Lady GaGa

Taio Cruz



[Ruscull]

I can't believe there's actually 3 people that like Ben Lee.

[AustralienGuy]

@Ruscull

That would be Ben, his mum and....... wow I just cant imagine anyone else

[AustralienGuy]

@Ruscull

That would be Ben, his mum and....... wow I just cant imagine anyone else

[TasmanProductions]

Take Short Stack. Please!

[NikoNear]

I think Andrew sounds really gentlemanly here. :x I looove the way he pronounces certain words. <3

[tashigifan]

And take Miley Cyrus too while you're taking requests.

[ThazuaBlackarrow]

@tashigifan Nah, she's hot and will be a great addition to Playboy.

[tashigifan]

@ThazuaBlackarrow Haha, fair enough

[rodiddy2]

i was going to like, untill the last liric, allso the slim dusty one, THAT MAN WAS A NATIONAL TREASURE, arr fuck it 'like'

[wilson69r]

now he should fly with quantas and he probably would die

[Smallville357]

andy's in my box.

[newtonmeters]

This song is soo racist, they mentioned guy sebastion...

Hahha fuck the politically correct tools, why are they watching chasers?

[esotericfilms]

when he says "Disease" it sounds amazing!

[tlg073]

take justin beiber, and give us back 2pac!

[AnimaniacFox]

@tlg073

Meh, As long as he takes Beiber its good

[DaBombsful]

OMG.. I AGREEEE!!!! :) 

[MrRadabong]

Take that Rick rolled guy aswell.

[TVstanza]

@MrRadabong rick astley durp

[studionightbird0]

lol why god can't you take youtubes FRED

[MissyTazzie]

I love Andrew's hair. It always Changes.

[cooldude0308]

I'm the 11,000th viewer, oh yeah I love chasers as well.

[lachlanm1000]

God, while your at it can please take Justin Bieber

[AltiyanChildsrox]

@lachlanm1000 Yes I agree, please take Justin Bieber.

[s07900]

this song is fantastic, but not as good as the eulogy song though

[anaemia]

Not the best Chaser song, but I totally agree with the premise. Hendrix, Joplin, Lennon, Cobain, Holly - all died young. I'm certain that Britney Spears will live to be 100.

[siniceblood2]

@anaemia Proof that talent dies young...

[benos]

Thanks for knowing me my whole life.

/sacarsm

[benos]

Trolls.

[SirRobin126]

I LOVE ANDREW HANSEN!!!!

I know this song off by heart and indeed most of his others.

[DanishGiirl]

He has funny hair :P

[JasonBonitati]

Boy, Hansen likes to do these "controversial'' satirical songs. Oh well, I think they are still fucking hilarious. I think Eulogy Song is still better however.

[zomgjodi]

man that was a good live studio record. the best one ive been to i reckon

[jennaveiman95]

Was he singing live or was he just playing the piano & the song was on in the background?

[Isissa125]

Live! He no cheat !

[jeezcathinkofaname]

its a live show

[zomgjodi]

No it's not. It's prerecorded.

[jeezcathinkofaname]

its recorded in front of a audience

[zomgjodi]

...I know that... Live in TV means it goes straight to air- as it's actually happening.

[jeezcathinkofaname]

oh sorry i diddnt mean live to air i meant live audience. sorry

[Isissa125]

Its not live, but they only run it one time

[ConE500]

And please god take Wes Carr

[JamesFarrkoff]

@ConE500 Or at least stop Wes Carr from trying to look like Kram.

[Colourcorky]

That was great!

[seachmhallach1]

IT'S SO SAD!!!!! NO MORE CHASER!!! i love the cahser.... this song is awesome.... Andrew is a spectacular pianist :D

[ellieanimal101]

Aw, mean Andrew. i like ben lee!

[gatersmen]

well then your a faggot this song is awsome : D

[ellieanimal101]

nahhhhh you are the faggot :P

[benos]

@ellie and gater

we'll be all happy if your both faggots.

[Isissa125]

Faggots, now lets take this word. And shove it up your arse? I mean. Come on! Its so old!

[benos]

Does that mean you want to have sex with me?

[Isissa125]

who'd want to have sex with a low life like you?

[amillionminutes]

I doubt this caused any controversy at all. It was a lot more tastefully done than the Eulogy song anyway.

[Venzael]

Also, the Eulogy song took a dig at the dead, which is what caused the controversy. This song's about someone who's alive, so it seems to be in the clear :D

[NccTardis]

That's what I thought too, but I'd heard that the production staff had already found other jobs... so I dunno, could be either one

Shame it had to happen to the last season ever too =[

[CWHairyMan]

@NccTardis Theres another Chaser show coming out, but its not called anything like The Chasers War On Everything (:

[googlethis94]

did this season get cut short coz of the make a realistic wish foundation sketch, or was it something else?

[0thaman0]

its shit that this season got cut short

[pygmyprawn]

It's so good to see The Chaser back on their feet after that atrocious first episode.

Keep the songs coming , Andrew!

[MegaSkatepunk]

I just dont get sick of this thing I am a freak of the chasers and one of those who think ben lee should get the sack do u agree with me

[simpl3xity]

get the sack from what?

[doctorgriffith]

From being crap.

[simpl3xity]

i asked that because i don't think you can techinically get "the sack" if you're a musician signed to your own independent label. i know what he meant, i was just pointing out ignorance

[0thaman0]

adgeed

[0thaman0]

fuckin just bahhhahahah,, i missed this show so much,, but i missed it tonight,, grr,, podcast is not online yet,, grr,, but for th vid lol lol lol great when this show ends i will be depressed util it starts and if it doesn't start again i will kill my self

[jayjaym1]

i love this show XD

[kav442s5]

RESPECT!!!!!!

I HATE Ben Lee with a passion!

[Ollietheoldie]

Love Hanson He's awesome, look up prolix songwriter by him

[gunda333icecream]

this is so funny and i love the piano

[HRHAlbusRex]

Hilarious!! LOL

[simpl3xity]

ben has a sense of humour about it though. i found this through his blog. it's not quite as poignant as the euology song but still entertaining enough

[rexwhitehair]

and lord when u take him can u take guy sebastion aswell

lol thats the best song

[Lolagranola5]

Oh really, Tallyx7chan? How do you "loathe" someone you don't even know? Unless it's Sarah Palin, of course. :P

[Nuclearmouse]

Hypocrite. oh and listen to his songs. THEN tell me we can't loathe him.

[Tallyx7chan]

My sentiments exactly. I loathe Ben Lee...

[bunnysparkle]

I am so glad, I cringed cos I thought this was going to be mean to Michael Jackson but this is just lol, esp the Guy Sebastian thing!

[WillStanton]

ahahahaha brilliant...

[JGTMTE]

I was there for this taping :-)

[jennaveiman95]

ohh kewl. what they do in half time & stuff. & do they mess up alot & which one has more fun on set & stuff. like whats it like?

[JGTMTE]

Craig messes up the most usually (I've been to two tapings before). Chris talks to the audience the most before the camera's start rolling... The taping's are always funny to be at because you get to see lots of things that the TV watchers don't get to see. In fact if you noticed on the episode this week Andrew's hair was drenched at the end... but they cut out a skit involving Chas pouring a bucket of water over him :-P

[AnThOnYrox8]

does it cost to go? and what time and place are they usually at?

[JGTMTE]

It's free, you just have to apply for tickets (although I got mine another way) - just make sure you're over 16 before you apply though or they wont let you in. It's at the ABC building in Ultimo, Sydney... I'm from Adelaide hahaha

[ralphknightsno1]

i went to a taping of theres, b4 they were kool, season 1 episode 4 LOL

[JGTMTE]

I wish I could have gone to a taping before the fan girls took over...

[MitchTime]

Me too :), you can see me at the end of this song (though it was cut out in this upload)

I never lauged so much in my life.

[JGTMTE]

Yeah I was sitting next to the pantomime horse that I'm pretty sure didn't even get a glance in the end hahahaha!

[MitchTime]

wow, we were in the same row xD i was like five or six seats to the left of the horse costume fella.

[LtBrownen]

Oh no I swallowed a had O_O HAHAHAH oh whoops wrong segment hehe

still this song was awesome

[HNCS2006]

I was afraid the chasers would do something about Mj that i couldn't stand. since i'm still in mourning. but i think this sort of struck a chord with the tragedy, music has lost too much.

[itsannalingus]

Unfortunately the wrong people.

[slaytanicinc]

Thanks for posting! I've been looking for this vid since I heard about it.

To all the people who find Chaser offensive, just don't watch it.

Comedy GOLD!!

[labuff83]

There is a thing called.....Abc net au chaser website....download the episodes for free from there. ;)
