about

Here's our new video and single, a bonus track we recorded to mark the end of another big tourist season down here on the Mornington Peninsula.
The song came together after talking with the people working in retail, local residents, and our own experiences.
It seems a lot of folks have a similar story - they appreciate the economic benefits that tourism brings to the peninsula, but unfortunately some of the visitors bring with them a lack of courtesy and respect for the area and the people who live here all year round.
The fleas come with the dog, so consider this a bit of musical flea powder, four minutes designed to give locals a smile and some visitors cause to rethink their behaviour.

lyrics

Lots of things to fix and mow
Maccas wrappers in the middle of the road
Fireworks from dusk til dawn
I wish you'd leave your bloody
barking dogs at home
:::
Chorus:
Summertime on the Peninsula
I'm sorry if I sound insular
But we can't wait for you to go home
And leave us all alone
To pick up your TVs from the naturestrip
Get back all the places where you dump your shit
For someone else to take care of
::::
Your family's had a house down here for years
You like to come down with your jetskis and your beers
And treat the place with no respect
Drive in the right lane like your rights are heaven sent
::::
We know we need your money
But it makes us feel a little bit grubby
To push with one hand
And take with the other
Hey look out man, your nearly ran down my mother
In your rush to relax
Your haste to kick back
And your hurry to have a holiday
At Broady by the bay
While you stay, we call it Broady by the Bay.
