This is fucking brilliant. Its the opening scene from their film, “The Pick of Destiny”.
Notice Meatloaf and Dio!

My father thinks you’re evil but man, he can suck a cock”

Brilliant.

This is pure quality. Australia’s one and only Kevin Bloody Wilson!

Sing with me now:

“The local chef’s a puffta
The local doc’s a drunk
The local priest likes little boys’ bums,
