00:03Question 1. How many singles of yours have featured in the Australian Top 40 charts?
00:0822. Yes, Reg!
00:11Welcome Mental as anything!
00:16When the Mental started, we put blind faith in just about everything.
00:20We're never a punk band, but we all got spat on plenty of times.
00:24I'd figured out I'd approximately had about 25,000 joints,
00:28which is a few.
00:31I love that they were working the fringes of what it was to be a pop band.
00:35Wakey, wakey, hands up, streaky!
00:38I'm not sure whether I believe in destiny, but things happen.
00:42I find it's very good to write with a hangover.
00:44You get that great combination of melancholy and incredible sensitivity.
00:48It's that first few years that's the most fun.
00:51Jim Blackfoot said we were the most ambitionless band he'd ever met.
00:55What is there left to do?
00:57What to drink and what to drink?
00:58We got the no medal as anything because we needed a poster for a show.
01:02So we said to the guy doing the poster, you think of something.
01:04Reg was my first bohemian.
01:07Often in life, weird, unexpected things happen.
01:09How can you see looking through those tears?
01:13It's a beautiful song.
01:14It's very greedy.
01:15You spotted someone who could be doing better.
01:18My man, my man.
01:19You're alone in here.
01:21The single Live It Up is one of the fastest moving hits in the chart.
01:24Thanks, Paul Hogan.
01:27The Australian Classic has shot to number one in the UK charts 35 years after it was released.
01:33Mental is everything for Live It Up!
01:35We did that again.
01:37Doesn't sound like Live It Up.
01:38We want another Live It Up.
01:42Pot stardom is ridiculous.
01:44Let's face it.
01:48Mental is everything.
01:49It makes people really happy.
01:51And that is inspiring.
