The best bits of ZDM's Brie and Clint.
Time for a birthday banger.
Brie and Clint.
All I want for my birthday.
Birthday banger.
Here we go, a bit of quick math for a Friday.
You call us, tell us your birthday.
We quick math it into figuring out what was the number one song when you turned 16.
Was that Cashie?
Yeah, it was.
You carry on.
And then we pick our favourite song to play out in full out of the three.
Let's kick off a birthday banger with Ingrid.
Hi, Ingrid.
Hi, guys.
How are you?
Good.
How are you going, Ingrid?
Very well, because it's my second time.
Second time calling?
No, second time on the birthday bash.
Are you?
Are you coming back for round two, Ingrid?
Yeah, I want to see what's happening because the first time it was awesome.
It was queen.
Yeah, well, Ingrid.
Ingrid.
Ingrid.
Ingrid.
No, actually, let's just do it.
No, Ingrid, let's do it.
Let's just do it.
Okay, I'm obsessed with you, Ingrid, by the way.
What is your birthday?
So it's the 29th of the 12th, 1959.
All right, Ingrid.
That means you were 16 in 1975.
And on your 16th birthday, this was number one.
Ingrid, it's Queen again.
Who would have thought?
Bohemian Rhapsody.
You wouldn't read about it, Ingrid.
That is awesome.
Love it.
Love it.
How good.
Ingrid, just a little point.
Your birthday bang is never going to change
unless your birthday changes.
The song that was number one on your 16th birthday will never change.
But it wouldn't have
changed for the next year.
A year later. No, that would be your
17th birthday.
Oh, okay. Sorry.
No, no, no. Please don't say sorry.
Ingrid, can I just say, can you call
us every year? Because you have the
greatest birthday banger and we will play
it every time. So you call us back. Ingrid, can you promise me you call us back every year because you have the greatest birthday banger and we will play it every time.
So you call us back. Ingrid, can you
promise me you call us back every year?
I'll call you next year. You better call
us back next year. And wait there
in case you win. Hold the line.
We're going to do Emma's birthday. Oh my god, I
love her so much. Hi Emma.
I'm going to love you just as much.
How are you going?
Great. First or second time doing Birthday Banger for you?
This is my first.
Okay, good.
Well, let's figure it out for you, Emma.
What's your birthday?
22nd of December, 1987.
All right.
That means you were 16 in 2003, Emma.
And on your 16th birthday, this was number one.
Oh, it's a tune from the Black Eyed Peas.
Banger.
This is like, can I say, one of the not as played Black Eyed Peas songs.
Because it was earlier.
Yeah.
So I like it more.
Because there's some that we're definitely still sick of.
Yeah.
This is not one.
This is a good one.
Emma, do you like your birthday banger?
I do.
I do.
I don't know if it can compete with
Queen though. It's a hard one
but you never know. We'll find out. Let's do one
more for Stephanie. Hi, Stephanie. Hi, Steph.
Hi, how's it going? Good, thanks.
First or second time playing?
First time. First time. We love
first timers on Birthday Bangers, Steph.
Whereabouts in the country are you?
I am in Tauranga.
Oh, lovely. Okay, well, Steph, tell us your the country are you? I am in Tauranga. Oh, lovely.
Okay, well, Steph, tell us your birthday.
June 9th, 1985.
All right, you were 16 in 2001.
And back on your 16th birthday, this was at the top of the chart.
Greg David walking away.
Do you like it, Steph?
Pretty good, but I can't beat Bohemian Rhapsody.
I know, I know. That's the challenge today.
It's unbeatable.
It's so good.
It's so good.
It is unbeatable.
You do have a great birthday, Bang,
and we appreciate you calling through.
My vote is for Ingrid, Bohemian Rhapsody queen.
Can I just check?
Ingrid, the first time you played birthday banger,
did you win?
Yes, and you know what?
I'll call you again next week.
Yeah.
Well, guess what, Ingrid?
You're going back to back.
You're about to be the first ever two-time winner of Birthday Banger
because I'm voting Queen as well.
Awesome.
How can you beat Queen?
You can't.
I mean, you can't.
Ingrid, we're going to have to send you out a trophy or something,
so hold on the line because it's the first time.
You're the ultimate Birthday Banger.
Yeah.
You are the Birthday Banger, Ingrid.
Okay, so we're going to play it for you again
and we'll, same time next year?
Yeah, absolutely.
Okay, same time next year.
Thanks, Ingrid.
Have a great weekend.
See you, Ingrid.
Love you, love you so much.
Oh my God, I'm so cute.
I love her so much.
Here we go, your birthday banger.
This is Queen in Bohemian Rhapsody.
She really does have the best birthday banger too.
All six minutes of it.
Can't wait.
See you soon, you're on ZM.
Escape from reality.

All I want for my birthday.
The birthday banger.
Ellie on the telly.
Birthday banger time is where we find out what was the number one song when people turned 16.
And then you and I will vote.
We didn't agree yesterday.
We didn't.
But today's a new day.
Yes, it is.
Maybe we'll agree today.
Maybe we will. Let's go to the phones. Let's's a new day. Yes, it is. Maybe we'll agree today. Maybe we will.
Let's go to the phones.
Let's talk to Andy.
G'day, mate.
Hey.
How's your day?
How's your week?
Good.
Just starting work.
When do you go on holidays, Andy?
Not until mid-January.
I'm working through Christmas and New Year's.
Oh, my goodness.
What do you do for work?
Carrier driver.
Oh, bless your soul, Andy.
It must be so rough at this time of year.
You guys are the true heroes of Christmas right now.
I agree.
You're the real life.
No, you're the Santa.
Seriously, keeping the dream alive, like what you guys do,
and you work so hard.
So we appreciate your service, Andy.
We do.
Thanks.
And now let's do you a service and give you your birthday banger.
What's your birthday?
18th of September, 1985.
All right, Andy.
That means you were 16 in 2001.
We've done the math.
And here's your birthday banger.
Hey, hey, Andy.
Where's my package?
I want to know.
Nice.
That was good.
I'm not going to lie, Andy.
That song's a bit of a trigger for me.
Everybody hates it, which makes me want to pick it.
Oh, come on.
Hey, could be worse, Andy.
Let's see what else other people get.
Hold there for a second.
Let's talk to Sian.
G'day, Sian.
Oh, hiya.
It's Sian A.
Oh, sorry, Sian A.
Hi, Sian A.
How are you going?
I'm good, thank you.
Are you on holidays yet, Sian A?
No, no.
I finished Christmas Eve.
Oh, really putting it up to the last minute there, aren't you?
Wow.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Good on you.
What do you do for work?
I'm an AB technician. Oh, yeah, yeah. Good on you. What do you do for work? I'm an AB technician.
What?
Oh, what does that mean?
What's the name?
It's an artificial inseminator, basically, for dairy cows.
Oh, right.
Oh.
So you're putting your hand up their toots.
Yeah.
I can say that, yeah.
Well, shut on you.
Sianae, thank you for your service.
Agreed.
Thank you, thank you.
We appreciate you.
What's your birthday?
8th of February, 1998.
All right, Sianae, that means you were 16 in 2014.
And back on that day, this was at the top.
When I am with you, there's no place I'd rather be.
No, no, no, no place I'd rather be.
I love it.
Yeah, this was a big hit, eh?
This was such a big hit from Clean Bandit.
Rather be.
It's a great one, Sian, eh?
Love that, yeah.
All right, stick around.
We'll see if it wins this morning.
Last one for Felicity.
G'day, Flick.
Hi, how are you?
We're good.
How are you?
I'm good, thank you.
Are you still at work?
Yes, I am.
God, all of us just putting in the mahi.
What do you do?
I'm a hairdresser.
Oh, you must have a lot of people being like,
oh, I forgot to book, but it's Christmas.
Can I have an appointment now, please?
Is that right?
I think Ellie actually messaged you yesterday.
Yeah, what?
That wasn't me.
Can you do a full head of foils, please, Flick?
Bless your heart.
Thank you for your service.
Amen to that.
Thank you.
What's your birthday, mate?
18th of the 8th, 1994.
All right, that means you were 16 in 2010.
And let me take you back to your 16th with this one.
You make me feel like I'm living a teenage dream 16th with this one.
Banger from Katy Perry, Teenage Dream.
Are you a fan, Flick?
Yeah, I loved it back then, yep.
Same. Huge hit for Katy Perry.
I was a fan of that song. Yeah, I think it's one of my faves. Yeah, one of her best. Okay, hold
there, Felicity. We need to vote.
This is hard because
all these songs are, well, look.
You really want to tick me off this morning,
eh, and vote for Hey Baby.
I feel like it would be really funny to just annoy Bree
and pick that one. And also, you know, it's quite a
throwback. It's pretty buzzy, pretty odd.
But then, like, Teenage Dream and Rather Be are very
good songs too. And probably
better sing-alongs. I'm just going to check the
text machine if there's any vibe. That's what I was going to do.
I just want to see what's the vibe. Anyone say
anything? No? We're on our own here, Brie.
What are you thinking? What are
your thoughts? You can vote first.
Okay, I'm going to
I'm going to
make Claudia choose and I'm
going to choose Hey Baby so that it goes to
you and then Claude.
So I don't have to do it. Well, I already know Claudia is going to pick Hey Baby so that it goes to you and then Claude. So I don't have to do it.
Well, I already know Claudia is going to pick Hey Baby, DJ Opsie.
Oh, no, you split the vote.
What's your vote, Brie?
Hey Baby.
I'm voting for it this morning.
Are you really?
Yes.
She's flipped it on its head.
I wanted to do it.
For Andy and our courier driver, you've won birthday banger this morning, Andy.
Yeehaw.
Good luck, mate,ehaw. Keep doing
the miracle work you do.
I will do. Merry Christmas,
mate. Merry Christmas.
Here it is.
Hey, baby, DJ Otzi,
your birthday banger this morning.
Oh, my God.
Oh, my God. What we want is for you to tell us your birthdays
and we'll tell you the number one song on your 16th birthday,
otherwise known as your birthday banger.
We'll start with Big Tony.
G'day, Tony.
G'day, Big T.
Hey, guys.
How are we today for a Monday?
Oh, we're not bad, Tony.
How are you going?
Yeah, not too bad for a man this Monday.
Let's hope we get some bangers on, eh?
Yeah, Tony.
Yes, Tony.
I like what you're putting down, Tony.
You hear me?
Yeah, we've got to set the example for it, you know?
Yeah, mate.
Set the tone.
That's right.
Set the Tony.
We've got to lead the way, Tony.
That's it, Brie.
That's the one.
We've got to be the radio pie pipers, Tony.
Let's do it.
What's your date of birth, Tone Dog?
So, 18 July, 92.
All right.
That means, Tony, you were 16 in 2008.
And here it is, your birthday banger.
Tiki Tone.
Always on my mind.
There was a period of time where you could not escape this song in New Zealand.
And now I think it's head time to become a bonafide classic.
Do you like it, Tony?
Yeah, Tiki Tone is a pretty good artist.
Yeah, not too bad for a Monday.
It's got the vibes.
It's chill.
Thanks, Tony.
Let's go to Corey.

It's an absolute tune from Ariana Grande and Iggy Azalea, Problem.
You love it, Corey?

Yeah, huge.
Okay, wait there.
Tough decision.
Tiki Tane, Ariana Grande or One Direction?
What are you thinking?
I like that Tiki Tane song.
I don't think it's got enough.
Oomph for a Monday?
Yeah.
Yeah, I feel like I'm on the same vibe as you.
One Direction.
I was going to go Problems.
You can. But we know
what they'll be voting for.
You don't know. I'm going to give it to Ella today and you don't know what she'll
choose. I'm going to go Problem

This is such a hard decision.
I'm going to go with One Direction.

So timely.
We're living in a simulation.
Nothing is real.
But this is a good song.
John, you like your birthday banger?
Oh, yeah, it's all right.
I mean, it's a moment in time.
That's for sure.
Might not be the most John song of all time. I mean, if I know John, I think he gets down with a bit of Barbie Girl. John's a moment in time, that's for sure. Might not be the most John song of all time.
I mean, if I know John, I think he gets down with a bit of Barbie Girl.

No need to tease me.
You don't need to say no more.
Shut up and kiss me.
Oh, it's a bit of Rhys Mastin, Bridget.
What do you reckon?
When you were 16, were you into Rhys Mastin?
No, not really, actually.

And on your 16th birthday, this was number one.
Oh, it's a bit of Kelly Clarkson, Mr Know-It-All.
What do you think, Macy?
Yeah, beautiful.
Beautiful.
I like that song.
Do you?
Yeah.
It's a bit of an off-brand Kelly Clarkson song, isn't it?
Yeah, I feel like she likes to throw a curveball in there every now and then,
like at least one per album.
Surely we're going Barbie Girl.
Surely we're going Barbie Girl.
Gotta do it.

Barbie Girl.

Are you hoping to get her in Birthday Banger?
No, definitely not.
Oh, you don't want Kylie Minogue?

Yeah.
What do you say about Cat?
I totally missed that.
No, I missed that her name was Cat and you said Doja.
Yeah, that's what I was going for.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Mate, you wait for the joke I make when Hannah joins the show.
Hannah Montana.
Cat, what's your date of birth, mate?

I'm really hoping it's Doja Cat now.

Yeah.
I like Nickelback.
I'm at an age where I'm willing to say that I like Nickelback.
Claudia and Ellery.
That's not the best Nickelback song.
I feel like I'm sending you psychic messages.
Okay.
You know what to do.
Go.
New pick first.

This is where you can call us up and we figure out what song was number one when you turned 16 and then we'll play our favourite one out of these three strapping young lads.
Let's go to Sandy first. G'day, Sandy. Hi, Sandy. Not a lad.
Hi, Dean. How are you? Definitely not a lad. You're a strapping young
lad, Sandy? Strapping young lady.
Sandy, have you had a good week? I have. It's been action
packed, but yeah, it's Friday evening, so good to go.
Good to get it on a Friday. Sandy, what's your birthday, my friend?
It's 14th of May, 1987.
Right, Sandy, let's give it a whirl. I've lost my robot sound effect, so please just
bear with me. You go.
You have to do it manually. You were 16 in 2003.
I'm a scat man.
You were 16 in 2003, Sandy, and here's your birthday banger.
No, Claudia, now you've copied over the song.
Sorry, Sandy, the wheels are off here.
We've had three beers each.
We're not meant to drink and radio.
Here it is, Sandy.
Sean Paul.
Oh, Sandy.
Shut up, Arl.
What do you reckon?
Do you like it?
Yeah, I like it.
Yes, I'll bang it.
Oh, mate, I love it.
All right, say there you strapping young lad.
We've got to go to Arik.
G'day, Arik.
G'day, Arik.
Hi, how's it going, guys?
Good, thanks.
Arik, I heard it's your bloody birthday.
Yeah, it actually is.
Happy birthday.
Happy birthday. Thanks, thanks, thanks.
Birthday on a Friday.
How old are you turning?
28.
Oh, best year of your life, Arik.
I'm telling you. It is such a great year.
Should be anyway.
Mate, don't waste it.
Don't you waste this year.
Because it's a bloody good one.
That means you were 16 in
2011. And on this
day in 2011, this was number one.
I'm walking away
from the troubles in my heart. This was number one.
There's a good one.
Craig David. Why was Craig David back at number one in 2011?
Do we know what made him number one in 2011?
That song's from the 2000s.
That's a good point.
We're out.
Something must have happened. That's a good point. We're out. Yeah.
Something must have happened.
Something must have went wrong.
Maybe I'll check that.
That's definitely Craig David.
Wait there, Arik, on your birthday.
We're going to go to Debbie.
Kia ora, Debbie.
Hello, Debbie.
Hello, how are you? Debbie, it's a bit of a shit show here at the moment, Debbie.
She's a schmuzzle.
This is a right old schmuzzle.
But we're glad you're here, Debbie, and we're keen to do your birthday banger.
How long have you been wanting to know what yours is?
About four or five years.
Mate, oh, I'm glad you're here then.
She's a day one.
Have you got a good feeling?
Because I've got a good feeling.
No, I think I'm a little bit old for this.
All right, let's give it a bash.
Debbie, what's your birthday?
1468.
All right, that means you were 16 in 1984.
And Debbie, this is your birthday banger.
Incredible birthday banger.
Oh, Debbie, you wouldn't read about it.
You get the Patia Maori Club.
And Poie.
You got a great one.
You love it, Debbie?
Yep.
Yeah, love it.
I love it too, and I'm voting for it.
Me too.
Debbie, you've won birthday banger, my friend.
You've waited this long and you've taken it out.
Congratulations, Debs.
Oh, awesome.
Thank you, guys. No worries.
Have a great weekend.
See you, Debbie.
Brain Clench.
The best bits.
Time for a birthday banger.
Brain Clench.
All I want for my birthday is a birthday banger.
All right, here we go.
Number one songs on people's 16th birthdays.
We'll pick our favourite one to play out in full.
Let's kick it off with Nikki.
Kia ora, Nikki.
G'day, Nikki.
How you going?
Yeah, good.
How are you?
Good, thanks.
Nikki, how's your week been?
Yeah, pretty crazy, actually. Loving, thanks. Nikki, how's your week been? Yeah, pretty crazy, actually.
Loving this weather.
Oh, how lovely that is.
You must be in Auckland.
I am.
How good is a bit of sun?
I know.
Like, it just changes everything.
As an Aucklander, too, after this year, you're just like,
so, son?
Just any sun, please.
Please, can you stick around for a whole day?
We love it.
Hey, Nikki, what's your birthday? 19th of November, please. Please, can you sing around for a whole day? We love it. Hey, Nikki, what's your birthday?
19th of November, 81.
Right, Nikki, that means you were 16 in 1997.
And on the 19th of November in 97, this was number one.
I get knocked down.
I get knocked down.
I get knocked down.
Huge banger.
Yeah. Weird, too. We were just talking about One Hit Wonders about an hour ago. Yeah.
Weird too.
We were just talking about One Hit Wonders about an hour ago.
Yeah.
Trying to find the greatest One Hit Wonder of all time
and this came through so many times.
This is a really good song to cry to.
Like when I'm feeling, I'm being serious.
Yeah.
If I'm having a really down day or going through a real bad patch,
you put this song on and you have a cry and you scream it.
It's actually really, really good.
And you have a whiskey drink.
Yeah.
And you have a vodka drink.
And you have a cider drink.
You have all the drinks.
You have all the drinks, yeah.
I like it, Nikki.
It's a good one.
Right there, we're going to talk to Destiny and do Destiny's birthday banger.
Hi.
Hi, Destiny.
Hello.
Whereabouts are you calling from?
Hamilton. Oh, good old Hamiltonians. Hi. Hi, Destiny. Hello. Whereabouts are you calling from? Hamilton.
Oh, good old Hamiltonians.
Destiny, let's see what your destiny is.
What's your birthday?
The 18th of December, 1997.
Right.
You were 16 in 2013.
God, I hope, Destiny, I hope it's Destiny's child.
It won't be.
Not in 2013.
Oh, come on, please. No, it can't be. It's Destiny's Child. It won't be, not in 2013. Oh, come on, please.
No, it can't be.
It's going to be.
Oh, it's still pretty good, Destiny.
Not a fan?
Oh, a little bit.
She's not a fan.
She's trying to be nice.
Okay, wait there, Destiny.
We're going to do one more birthday banger for Natasha.
Hi, Natasha.
Hi.
What are you hoping for?
Who's your favourite artist ever?
Oh, there's quite a few.
I can't pinpoint one.
I just hope it's a cool song, though.
A cool song.
Okay, you're hoping for a cool song,
and we heard it's your birthday today.
Oh, happy birthday.
It is.
Thank you very much.
Happy birthday.
How old are you turning?
I'm 35.
Oh, 35.
You having a celebration this weekend?
Actually flying to Fiji next week.
Oh, how good.
Perfect.
Pretty excited.
All right, so you're 88.
All right, that means you were 16, Natasha, in 2004,
and here's your birthday banger.
Natasha.
Ben.
What do you think, Natasha?
Yeah, good for someone, I guess.
What would you pick, Natasha? Yeah, good for someone, I guess. What would you pick, Natasha?
I'd probably like a bit of you two.
Okay, all right.
Wait there.
I kind of feel the vibe that everyone's talking about today,
and I think there's a reason for that vibe.
I think there's something in the air.
What do you mean?
I think that if something had happened in Birthday Banger today,
it would have been perfect, and we have never done this before.
But what if...
Oh, you know I'm going to be on board with this.
What if, under special circumstances,
we vetoed all three Birthday Bangers today...
And played...
And paid homage.
Do you know how I feel about it?
I'm always willing to break the rules,
especially when an icon like Tina Turner has passed away.
This has never been done on Birthday Banger today.
Never, ever.
We have never gone on script.
So to make this happen,
we have to have permission from just one person
in the Birthday banger queue.
Okay.
Pick the person.
It's got to be, well, it's Natasha's birthday.
It's got to be Natasha.
It's Natasha's birthday.
It's got to be Natasha.
Natasha, do we have your permission to break all of our own rules,
go rogue, abandon all of the songs that came up in birthday banger today
and instead pay tribute to the late, great Tina Turner?
Let's do it.
Yes, Natasha.
She's giving it the green light.
Happy birthday, Natasha.
Thank you so much.
Have a great day, mate.
