Hey all, welcome to the debut single by The Gillards!
This is an affectionate parody of 'Happy Days' by The Whitlams, for our extremely smart and gorgeous Prime Minister, Julia Gillard.
Now, just some housekeeping:
1. Haters gonna hate, we get it; but no hating on the PM here. That's not what this is about.
2. Sorry the quality of the stop motion - turns out it's trickier than we thought, and Tim Burton wasn't around to help us.
3. We're not claiming anyone in real life has said any of these things - although we'd strongly encourage Swanny to start using the word 'homegirl'.
On that note, Happy Birthday Prime Minister Gillard, and everyone else, enjoy
xx
"Mondays can be a test,
Tuesdays you go to Quest...ion Time.
Wednesdays you might get censured by the Liberals.
Thursdays you'll pass a bill,
Fridays are hectic still;
And when the weekend comes around -
Yeah you'll do a press conference and a uni opening,
Visit some voters, see how they're coping.
Then there's just no time for you -
No time for you to chill out.
But thank god you kept Abbott out!
Then Julia phoned and this is what she said - she said:
'Ain't had a holiday
Since I became PM;
So APH feels just like home.
Having the top job's great,
Something to celebrate -
But now my Birthday will be spent alone.'
Nah, we'll take a campaign bus and go out drinking.
While your Birthday's going on there's no need for thinking.
We'll have some red and some Chinese food,
See what you're all about -
'Cause you deserve a big night out.
Then Swanny phoned and this is what he said - he said:
'Jules you are my PM,
My homegirl 'till the end;
I'm proud to be your Deputy you know.
Forget the left and right, the party's yours tonight -
For your Birthday the factions will unite!'
Yeah, we'll have ginger cake and a bottle of champagne,
It hasn't been this wild since the election campaign.
And tonight the drinks are all -
The drinks they are all on Wayne,
'Cause today is Julia's Birthday!
Then Albo phoned and this is what he said - he said:
'As Leader of the House,
I think Julia's grouse -
Crikey.com calls her the Powerfox.
And you have to admit, the title it does fit,
Someone who's tough as you down to the bone.
Yeah, we'll rent out the Great Hall and have a soiree,
Happening events can still be Labor's forte - right?
We'll have a true blue Birthday bash
For the woman in charge.
...And the damage bill might be large...
Eight days a week in the Caucus,
Almost enough to drive anyone mad.
But look at you Julia baby:
You're the first female PM we've ever had!
And that's pretty cool,
We think so and so should you.
Then Tony phoned and this is what he said - he said:
'You landed the top job,
Because I am a knob,
But for your Birthday could we call a truce?
I promise I won't wear
Speedos or cycling wear,
If you will let me come hang out with you.'
Sorry, Tony, we're taking a Comm car and going cruising;
Since we have a chauffeur we can get to boozing;
And there's just no room for you,
Sorry if you feel left out;
But tonight there are no Liberals allowed.
Then K Rudd phoned, and this is what he said - he said:
'Jules, babe, no hard feelings
About our past dealings.
You're still my BFF you know.
If we still used MySpace you'd be in top friend place,
So let's paint the town while the Liberals sit at home!
Yeah, we'll take a Commonwealth car and go out dancing,
Listen to whatever music takes your fancy.
We'll have a deep and meaningful,
Get Labor all sorted out.
And Lindsay Tanner can just pout...'
Happy Birthday Madame Prime Minister,
You're more awesome than the faceless men could know;
And back at Slater & Gordon,
Who would have guessed how far you would go?
Did you guys guess?
Oh... well, we weren't born, so
We've sung this song for you Julia,
We hope that you enjoy your big five-oh;
And if you need a Miss Moneypenny type figue,
We think you know to whom you should go:
This chick right here - So!
We'll take a campaign bus,
And some Commonwealth cars,
Have a party,
And if anyone asks
We'll say it's for you Jules, you Jules, you Jules,
Our Julia Gillard.
You Jules, you Jules, you Jules,
Our Julia Gillard

Oo, sorry about that! We'll post the lyrics in the description, and then see if we can tweak the levels.
Thanks for watching!
