Never released. Originally made for a live performance at the Metro Theatre in August 1997, and given to radio station 2JJJ to promote the party. Became Triple J #1 request song for 9 days until Pauline Hanson obtained a 'temporary' injunction in the Supreme Court taking it off air. The judge confided to another judge's wife at a conference soon afterwards that he "had been in a hurry that day". Voted #5 in Triple J Hottest 100 that year. ABC's appeal against the injunction 13 months later was not successful, judges accepting Hanson's belated Statement of Claim that the song imputed that the plaintiff (Hanson) was "proud to engage in anal sex with members of the Klu Klux Klan"; amongst other claims.  Current legal status is that the ABC are not allowed to play it on air, but the song is not "banned".  Music samples : 'Forget me Nots' performed by Patrice Rushen; 'Got to Be Real' performed by Cheryl Lynn; 'Off the Wall' performed by Michael Jackson; 'Stomp' performed by the Brothers Johnson; 'Ascension' performed by Maxwell.
