Interviewer: Welcome Darren Hayes and Daniel Jones from Austrailian band Savage Garden

D&D: *strong Auzzie accent* Thanx, nice to be here

I: How does it feel having a nr1 album and several nr1 singles?

Darren: Well, we always kinda knew we’d be this huge so we’re not sure how we feel...

I: This huge? how huge?

Darren: You know, we’re a bunch of regular Micheal Jacksons

I: You mean...

Daniel: Can I just say that Darren’s got great hair!

I: um, anyway, before you sir interrupted me, I was saying, you mean you like young boys just like Micheal Jackson?

Daniel: Young boys are cool...

Darren: *frowning* What the hell are you talking about?! we mean we’re as huge as Micheal Jackson

I: Hmm, he’s pretty tall but I can’t see what’s huge about him, the guy looks like a matchstick

Darren: Huge as in a big music star, are you sure you graduated from Journalism school?

Daniel: Darren’s got great hair

I: Well, I dunno, he’s going down....

D&D: Would you drop it?!!!!

I: Sure. How does it feel being a rolemodel to young people all over the world?

Darren: If people see Daniel as a rolemodel then I guess I’m full of despair about the future

Daniel: You should talk! If the whole world was like you there wouldn’t be a world

I: Guys, guys, take it easy, it was just a question. Do you fight a lot?

Daniel: No, Darren’s got great hair! How can you fight with somebody who’s got great hair?

Darren: *looking with admiration at Daniel* Well, thanx buddy. We haven’t faught for ages, our chemistery is tops, infact, you’re the reason for our row!You’re in big trouble...

I: How do you mean?

Darren: Well, you caused a crack in our flauless relationship and we have to do something to you

I: Oh, what? like I should be afraid of a nerdy sissyboy and an incompetent troublemaker?

Daniel: Darren’s still got great hair, so there!

Darren: On a more serious note, have you seen ”Interview with a vampire”?

I: *extremely confused* huh?

Darren: The film, have you seen it?

I: This is getting out of control, can we get back to me being the interviewer and you my victims?

Darren: Interesting term, victims...

Daniel: Have you ever wondered why we’re called Savage Garden?

I: Um, yeah, why?

Daniel: It’s from a book by Anne Rice. The author of ”Interview with a vampire”.

I: Oh, wow! Beautiful

Darren: What if we said you’re gonna write a book called ”Interview with two vampires?

I: I am?

Darren: *Licking his lips* Seeing as you are doing just that, why shouldn’t you write a book about it?

I: Really, gentlemen, I do not comprehend. You’re not suggesting...

Darren: *with an easy, solemn tone* Oh but we are, look, impressive teeth, huh?*showing his teeth

I: AAAAhhhhh, no please, spare me....

D&D: Yummy!

Darren: You go first, you’ve flattered me about my hair all day, go ahead, suck!
