Huey on "@Last TV"

"Huey goes into this posh looking tailor shop in Dublin owned by a guy called Louis to get a suit made for their gig that night.He's dressed in his green Che Guevara t-shirt and combat trousers."

Louis: So what kind of a suit are you looking for?

Huey: Somethin' I can wear to my mother's.

Louis: Well,your dark colours will go with anything.

Huey: God bless you.


*Huey strips off for measurements and shows off his tatoo from the marines.Louis asks him how he got on.*

Huey: Yeah,it was okay.They kicked me out when I broke my legs.They made us jump out of aeroplanes.

Louis: I was listening to 100% Colombian last night and I must say I really love the record.I am of course in a different age group to you.(The guy is clearly over 55 and has obviously been handed the questions readymade).But I find it very hard to hear the words.

Huey: Yeah,well I mumble.

Louis: Maybe I should get a new tape recorder.

Huey: Well,I could write out the lyrics for you now.

Louis: Could you?

Huey: Sure,if you knock a couple of bucks of the suit.


Louis: In Love Unlimited,who exactly is Barry White?

Huey: You don't know who Barry White is?

Louis: No.

Huey: Barry White is a soul singer from the 70's,when girls were icky.When my babysitter used to come over,she would put on Barry White records and all of a sudden she was the most interesting girl in the world.


Louis: What does 100% Colombian mean?

Huey: Well,in the process there's a lot of record companies,producers,etc.But we try to do as much of it as we can on our own,so it's a kind of guarantee that this is 100% us.That's why we say 100% Colombian.It's a kinda term we use.If something is 100% it's own,then it's 100% Colombian.


Louis: Is it true you invested some of your money in refusal?

Huey: Yeah,most rock bands invest in drugs and cars.We invested in garbage.There are many constants in the world,and garbage is one of them.

Louis: What's the strangest thing you've found in your garbage?

Huey: A head,yeah.

Louis: Are you joking?(Absolutely shocked)

Huey: Yeah,ha!


Louis: Do you jump around much on stage?

Huey: No,I broke my legs.I run when chased though.Will you take a cheque?

Louis: Yes,we'll take anything that resembles cash.

Huey: It's a third person cheque,I haven't written it.

Louis: Really,do you remember his name?

Huey: Uh,Lee or somethin'.It's cool man,he's from Minasota.

Louis: Is he?

Huey: Yeah,he's a doctor.

Louis: Really?

Huey: (Guilty look)Umm..yeah.
