Brie and Clint, the new season starts Jan 14. It's on ZM.
It's my birthday, it's my birthday. Brie and Clint's birthday banger.
You call us up, you tell us your birthday, we put it into a big old computer,
it figures out what song was top in the charts when you were partying at your 16th birthday, yo.
We spent a lot of money on this computer and so far it's allowed us to play Lou Bega's Mumbo No. 5.
No, we found it in the basement.
Yeah, but we'll still pay our licensing fee to update the software.
It had a thing saying, don't touch this, and we touched it.
So we want to figure out what your birthday banger is and then when we do, we're going to pick the best one and we're going to play it.
Whether it fits with the Zedium playlist or not.
Hello Desmond and welcome to the show.
Hello Desmond.
Hello.
What's your birthday, mate?
1st of March, 1982.
Okay Desmond, you were 16 in 1998 on the 1st of March and this was top of the charts.
Desmond, do you remember going and seeing Titanic when you were 16?
No. What a banger. She's coming to the country Clint. She's coming to the country. She's topical Celine Dion. Who doesn't love that? Desmond would you like to hear that? Shall we go for it? Yep.
Even he's not sure. Carina. Hello, Karina. Hello.
What's your birthday?
18th of February, 88.
Okay, Karina, you were 16 in 2004 on the 18th of February.
And no, Celine Dion, not again.
It's actually this one.
One, two, three.
My baby don't pass around because she loves me so.
Bit of Outkast.
Hey, you all right?
Yeah, it's all right, eh?
Possibly the most played song ever since it came out, right?
Yeah.
Every wedding, every birthday party.
It skips on CDs because people have played it so much.
Good luck.
Not too bad, Karina.
Let's go to the last one, Clint.
Let's go to Kyle.
Hello, mate.
Hello. Hello. What's go to the last one, Clint. Let's go to Kyle. Hello, mate. Hello.
Hello.
What's your birthday, Kyle?
25th of the 11th, 1997.
Okay, Kyle, you were 16 in 2013 on the 25th of November,
and this is your birthday banger.
Oh, you hit the word of the number.
There it is.
Stay up.
Eminem's big comeback.
Anything with Eminem and Rihanna, I'm down with.
And they feature a lot in Birthday Banger too.
So good.
Okay, wait there, Kyle.
We need to do some serious conversating.
Oh, no.
What are we going to play?
I know for a fact,
Ross Boss, who hates this segment,
loves Celine Dion.
Yeah.
But he would hate me.
If we are looking to play the song that jumps out at us the most,
it's not Outkast, is it?
Definitely not Outkast.
Love Outkast.
Don't have anything against that song.
Just don't need to hear it again, right?
Would the Monster Riri and Eminem be in the ZM playlist still?
Maybe.
100%, yeah.
Would be.
Yeah.
You gotta go with Celine Dion.
My heart will go on.
People in the car would be either screaming,
don't you dare, or they'd be saying, yeah, play it.
Desmond.
Yeah, play it.
Yes, Desmond.
He's on board.
I love you, Rose.
Never let go Jack
Desmond, I need you to stay on the line until the end of the song, okay?
Okay
Oh, Ross just took it off
Did he really?
Oh, he took it off again
How is he doing that?
He's doing it from out there
The producers are freaking out They don't know what's happening You know, I have one way that I can is he doing that? He's doing it from out there. The producers are freaking out.
They don't know what's happening.
You know, I have one way that I can do it.
How?
I know how you can do it.
This is Zed.
Zed M, Brie and Clint, Marshmello and Khalid.
I am not happy.
I am fuming.
I don't normally get like this, but I am enraged at the moment.
So if you just missed it, birthday banger,
where we play the number one songs on your 16th birthdays,
Celine Dion, My Heart Will Go On, was the song that was picked.
It was the right decision.
Ross Boss from out in the office has overrid our authority.
He's got a system out there, some computer, where he was turning it off.
For the last eight minutes, we haven't been able to come back on here at all
and do anything with it because Ross didn't want to hear Celine on the station.
Now, Ross, as a servant of the people of ZM,
needs to hear a little bit of the feedback that came through.
Bree, can you give us a sampler from the text machine that came through
once the Celine Dion track, My Heart Will Go On, was taken off?
And we feel the same as you guys.
Hang on, hang on.
Can I give you the perfect backing track to read this feedback to?
Hang on.
I think you should give it to a little bit of...
I like that.
Thank you.
God damn it.
I was so keen for Celine.
We don't like Ross Boss anymore.
What the hell, Ross?
Do you know how jazzed the nation was to scream along to Celine Dion?
Someone fire him.
Unacceptable.
Unforgivable.
I don't know how you fire the boss, but yeah, I agree.
I agree.
And you know what?
We will find a way to take down Ross in this segment.
Ross, Leonardo DiCaprio did not die so that you could force us into an ad break, okay?
Ross, if you're listening, mate, run at me because I'm going to run at you, mate.
I'm taking you down, mate.
I'm taking you down.
If you're listening, wear Kevlar to work because we're going to stab you.
But can we still have our jobs, please?
That'd be good.
That'd be great.
We can just make it to our three-month trial.
This isn't the end of Birthday Banger.
We will fight to the death against Ross Boss
until the right song gets played.
You know what we've done?
We've found the line.
He was okay with Lou Bega.
Mumbo No. 5.
He was a bit upset at Elton John.
There is something about the French-Canadian pop princess Celine Dion
that really gets to Ross.
And I don't know what it is.
I don't know what it is in his past or in his psyche that this gets to him,
but for some reason he can't have this.
I heard him yelling out, I hate French-Canadians.
That's what he was yelling out around the office.
I heard him saying, I hate women.
Yep, I heard him say that too.
What's he got against Celine Dion?
You know what Celine says to you, Ross? Shall we go for it?
And we went for it
and you shut it down, mate.
Watch this space, New Zealand. This is not the end.
We will fight to the end, Clint.
Brie and Clint
on ZM.
Brie and Clint's birthday banger. Alright, this is our chance to get something on the air here at ZM
that you probably wouldn't normally hear.
Yeah, to break playlists a little bit, have a little bit of fun.
And it also is cool to reminisce because we get your birthdays
and we put them into a computer and it figures out
what song was topping the charts on your 16th birthday.
Chad, welcome to the show.
Hello, Chad.
Hey, how's it going?
Very well, thanks.
What's your birthday?
10th of July, 1990.
Okay, Chad, you were 16 in 2006 on the 10th of July,
and this is your birthday banger.
Oh, Chad, hang on, mate.
Hang on, hang on.
Chad, Chad, Chad, Chad, Chad, Chad, Chad.
Chad!
Worth the wait, Chad. Worth the wait, Chad.
Worth the wait.
You get a little bit of Shakira, Shakira.
Kids don't lie.
That's going to be hard to beat, I reckon.
I just love the line in that song where she's like,
talks about her breastises and that don't get them confused with mountains.
Do you remember that line?
Yeah, vaguely.
Yeah.
Just me then.
Sorry.
Let's go to Rebecca.
Hey, Beck.
Hi.
What's your birthday, mate?
13th of the 3rd, 92.
Okay, Beck, you were 16 in 2008 on the 13th of March
and this was Top of the Chart.
Please don't stop the music.
Yes.
Rihanna, queen of birthday banger.
Where were you on your 16th birthday?
Any idea what you would have been doing?
Me and my friend have the same birthday,
so I think we had a joint 16th.
Yes.
Did you get a car like those rich kids do on that show?
No, unfortunately not.
Neither.
One more. Let's go to Corey. Corey, are you there? No, unfortunately not. Neither. One more.
Let's go to Corey.
Corey, are you there?
Hello, Corey.
I am, yes.
What's your birthday?
31, 10, 82.
Okay, Corey, you were 16 in 1998 on the 31st of October,
and this is your birthday banner.
Woo!
Aerosmith. I don't want to close my eyes. Woo! I don't want to fall asleep.
Aerosmith.
Is this the one from Armageddon when Bruce Willis saves the... It is, eh?
It's also the one from The Sweetest Thing
when they're trying to get the girl off the...
Anyway.
I haven't seen that.
Oh, it's not good.
Oh, okay.
Now we have some deliberating to do.
Do you feel like some Aerosmith?
Which... Yeah. Rihanna, Don't Stop the Music?
Or Shakira Shakira?
I like all of them.
Yep.
You pick first.
I always pick first.
Okay, I want to hear Shakira.
I haven't heard that song for ages.
Riri just had a good ring to it.
I'll back you.
Hips don't lie, Shakira.
You keen for Shakira?
I'm keen for Shakira.
I'm glad we can agree on that.
And we can listen to the line about her talking about her boobs and stuff.
Yeah, good point.
Hey, Chad, congratulations.
Your birthday bang is on, mate.
Yeah, Chad.
I never really knew that she could dance like this.
Brie and Clint on ZM.
Right now, though.
It's my birthday.
It's my birthday.
Brie and Clint's birthday banger.
That's right.
We get your birthday.
We put it into a big computer.
And then we find out what song was top of the charts.
We don't control what song it spits out.
And you also can't pick your birthday banger.
You can't pick your birthday.
And you can't pick your birthday banger. You can't pick your birthday, and you can't pick your birthday banger.
It chooses you, my friend.
Today, we have three more, and I'm just going to say before we do it.
Yes.
Today is the last day that Ross Boss is out of the country as well.
Just saying.
And he's actually out of the country right now.
He's genuinely out of the country.
He's in a different time zone.
So, just saying.
Gives an opportunity.
First up, Hannah.
Hello, Hannah. Hello. What's your birthday? opportunity. First up, Hannah. Hello, Hannah.
Hello.
What's your birthday?
29th of March, 1995.
Okay, Hannah, you were 16 in 2011 on the 29th of March,
and this is your birthday banger.
From an era where if you wanted a hit song,
you had to put Pitbull on it. That's J-Lo and Pitbull on the floor. How an era where if you wanted a hit song, you had to put Pitbull on it.
That's J-Lo and Pitbull on the floor.
How do you feel about that?
Oh, it's a good song.
I like it.
Yeah, I like it too.
I'm into it.
It just makes me think of sweaty people for some reason.
Yeah.
It's because I think she was very sweaty in the music video.
I think she was very like...
And she was like kind of thrusting and there was water going everywhere.
I think so, from memory.
I like it, yeah. Warren, hello, water going everywhere. I think so, from memory.
I like it, yeah.
Warren, hello,
welcome to Birthday Banger.
Hello, Woz.
How you going?
Good, thanks.
What's your birthday?
10th of the 2nd, 1984.
Okay, Warren,
you were 16 in 2001 on the 10th of Feb
and this was Top of the Chart.
Banger.
You know he came out recently and said it was him?
Really?
Yeah.
That's amazing.
Just like, after all this time, he's like...
I actually do need to.
I can't hide it anymore.
You like that one, Warren?
Yeah, I do.
It's a rock solid contender.
That's great.
Wait there.
Love it.
One more.
Welcome to the show, Karen.
Hi, Karen.
Hi there.
What's your birthday?
June the 28th, 1971. Okay, Karen, you were 16 in 1987 on the 28th of June, and this was
Topping the Charts.
Karen. Love it. Love it. Love it. Love it. Love it. I'm digging in there. Okay.
Karen, stay here with us actually for this conversation because you've put us in a very awkward position.
Karen.
When we were conceiving this feature with our boss,
he said, yeah, but what if you get a really absurd one come through?
Like Whitney Houston, I Want to Dance Somebody.
The song that is your birthday banger is the case study
for the song that we're supposedly not allowed to play.
Oh, wow.
Do you like the song, Karen? I love it.
I really do. Who doesn't like
Whitney Houston? Do you like it more than Shaggy?
Yes.
It's Whitney bloody Houston.
Just wait there, Karen.
What's happening? Warren.
Warren.
Do you like Whitney Houston more than Shaggy?
Nah.
No, okay.
Well, then it's just between us.
Mate, you know what I'm going to pick.
I'm never going to back down from Whitney Houston.
Yes, it's happening.
For your Friday.
Doesn't get better than that.
Karen, it couldn't happen on any other day,
but the stars are in your favour.
Here's your birthday banger.
Yes, Karen.
Thank you.
I'm fucking alive.
The kids were playing.
Don't change your dial.
Bree and Clint.
This is Zed M.
And that's the winner of Birthday Banger this afternoon.
I just want to read you a quick selection of the text machine.
Day equals made.
Absolute banger.
Awesome choice.
What a banger to start the weekend.
You guys aced it.
We're going into the weekend with a bang.
And with that in mind, please welcome to the show Ross Boss.
Hey, Ross.
Hello.
Hello, maid.
What was that?
How convenient.
We just saw him in a...
...come away.
Well, you just magically managed to get a caller on
who has the birthday of the exact song you wanted to play.
No, we didn't rig it.
We didn't rig it.
It wasn't rigged, mate.
It's actual fate.
Actual fate.
If it makes you feel better,
Fletch Vaughan and Megan played Nickelback this morning.
Nickelback this morning.
Ross, we love you.
It's like I'm away for one week and it all goes to hell in a half.
All right, you're breaking up.
Have a good holiday, mate.
We love you, Ross.
That's good.
We should play back-to-back, Whitney.
Who's in?
Okay, just me.
Bree and Clint on ZM.
It's my birthday.
It's my birthday.
Bree and Clint's birthday banger.
That's right.
We take your birthdays, we put them into a system, and we play the songs that were number one on your 16 my birthday. Three and Clint's birthday banger. That's right. We take your birthdays, we put them into a system,
and we play the songs that were number one on your 16th birthday.
Hi, Jess.
Hi, Jess.
Hi.
What's your birthday?
10th of November, 93.
Okay, Jess, you were 16 in 2009 on the 10th of November.
And top of the charts on that day was this.
How good, Jess?
Remember that, Jess, on your
16th? Yeah, it's a good party.
I was going to say, is that an inappropriate song to be partying
to on your 16th birthday? Nah, it's alright.
I mean, not so good for the friends who are
still 15, but you know, whatever.
Good luck.
Good start. Bit of acon. Ryan, welcome to
Birthday Banger. Hello, Ryan. G'day, how are you? Good, what's your birthday? 8th August
88. Okay, Ryan, you were 16 in 2004 on the 8th of August, and this is your Birthday Banger.
Hmm. Do you recognise this song, Ryan?
I do, but yeah.
It's by a group called The Misfits of Science.
Fool's Love.
Yeah.
Remember how we, was it just yesterday we played De Harmo?
Yeah.
De Harmo.
Similar category.
Sort of one hit wonder from the same era.
I was going to say, I've never heard that song before.
What do you feel, Ryan?
Well, it is an oldie.
It should still take it out tonight.
Ryan, can you say that, not with heaps more,
but just a little bit more enthusiasm than that?
Well, no, I did like the other song better.
Yeah.
Ryan, I'll put you on hold.
It's like getting a pre-match thing from the Blues.
Look, guys.
I mean, I love our team, but look, let's be real.
The other team's probably going to take it out tonight.
I'll put you on hold, Ryan.
This may be the last time we talk to you, though, okay?
See you, Ryan.
All right.
Let's go to Sam.
Hello, Sam.
Hiya.
What's your birthday?
It's the 26th of December, 75.
I'm feeling very old.
No way.
These are the ones we love.
You were 16 in 1991.
On the 26th of December, a boxing, what is it?
What?
Boxing day, baby.
Oh, yeah.
And this is your birthday banger.
Sam.
Sam, you know I've been waiting for the day that we have Michael Jackson come through.
And this is the, you're the first been waiting for the day that we have Michael Jackson come through and this is the
you're the first one
do we even discuss?
do we even discuss?
or we just play?
or do we just play Misfits of Science?
Sam
let's take it back to 1991
when you were wearing
probably similar to what you're wearing now
ripped jeans and listening to Michael Jackson.
Enjoy it.
Thank you.
Thanks for being born.
No worries.
Thanks for being born.
Here's your birthday banger,
Secret Sound next, ZM.

Oh don't do this to me
Come on mate
Don't do this to me
Give it to us
When else are we ever going to play MJ?
Oh that's not Billie
That's not the Billie Jean I thought it was.
I was trying to put this underneath it.
There we go.
Come on, give it to her.
Can you go first?
I need to.
Oh.
Soundkeep, Randall Bell, have you got one in you?
No, just me.
All right, no worries.
50 grand up for grand next with the secret sound.
Worst time ever to have a testy blowout.
Zed-M.
Bree and Clint on Zed-M.
It's my birthday.
It's my birthday.
Bree and Clint's birthday banger.
Feel something good in my waters today.
Yeah?
I just have that feeling around that area.
Today's the day we're going to find
a real banger
for birthday banger.
I hope so.
Okay.
I do.
All you've got to do
is call us.
You just need to have a birthday.
We'll put it into the computer
and find out what's number one
on your 16th birthday.
Let's go to Bailey first.
Hello, Bailey.
Hi.
What's your birthday?
21st of November, 1998.
Okay, Bailey,
you were 16 in 2014
on the 21st of November
and this is your birthday banger.
Yes.
Banger.
Absolute banger.
Freaks, Timmy Trumpet and Savage.
You're in the box seat, Bailey.
Well done.
I like it, Bailey.
Cool.
Okay.
Next, we're going to go with Logan.
Hey, Logan.
Hello, Logan.
Hello.
I believe it's your birthday today.
It is my birthday today.
Awesome.
Happy birthday.
Have you had a good one?
It's been a great day so far.
That's awesome.
Now, unfortunately, just because it's your birthday,
it doesn't mean it can get a bad birthday banger over the line.
So we've got our fingers crossed for you, okay?
Okay, fingers crossed.
Okay, so obviously it's today.
What year?
1995.
Okay, Logan, you were 16 in 2011 on the 6th of September,
and on that day, this was number one.
Yeah, it's good.
This song took time for me to grow on me.
I was like, oh, no, not keen.
What do you think of Christina in the middle of it?
Yeah, owns it.
So good.
Yeah, I'm a fan. You're a fan, middle of it? Yeah, owns it. So good. I'm a fan.
You're a fan?
You like it?
Okay, cool.
I like it.
You have one person standing in your way, actually,
and that person is Tony.
Hey, Tony.
Hi, Tony.
Hey.
Hey.
What's your birthday, Tony?
4th of February, 1977.
Oh, this is what we like, Tony.
You were 16 in 1993 on the 4th of February,
and top of the charts on that day was this.
And I will always love you.
Tony.
Oh, my God.
Sorry, Logan.
Happy birthday.
Happy birthday, Logan.
Mic drop from Tony.
Okay, Tony.
You have the best birthday banger ever. You have the greatest birthday banger so far, Logan. Mic drop from Tony. Okay, Tony. You have the best birthday banger ever.
You have the greatest birthday banger so far, possibly.
We're not there yet, though.
Oh, no.
It needs to get played before it really counts.
I have control of the buttons,
but there is someone at ZM who could override me.
We're just going to do it, okay?
As if we're not playing Whitney Houston, I will always love you. We're just going to put it, okay? As if we're not playing Whitney Houston, I will always
love you. We're just going to put it in and see
what happens, okay? Let's just see how we go.
Let's do it.
So good.
Singing in the car, New Zealand.
Let's just enjoy it as long
as it lasts.
Bree and Clint.
This is birthday banger on ZM. Oh my God, it's best I ever I would only be in your way.
This is birthday banger on CDM.
Oh, my God.
Best day ever.
So I'll go.
What's better than Ariana Grande?
No.
No.
I'll think of you.
Still going?
No, the ads are going to play. Come on, Ross.
Ross, if you're listening right now, if you're listening, please.
If I ask you one thing this year, please let this play.
And I will always love you.
I will always love you. I will always love you.
Bree and Clint.
This is birthday banger.
Oh, my God.
Here we go.
All together.
It's done, Matt.
It's done.
You have no idea.
It's over. How hard we had to fight, Ross. It's done. You have no idea. It's over.
How hard we had to fight, Ross.
Mate, you've lost.
I just don't understand it.
I just wanted to come and say this song's great.
It's something you did.
You tried to override the entire computer.
Oh, my God.
Must be a bug on the system, Matt.
I don't know.
What you've missed,
I've literally put Ross in the best scrum rugby's ever seen.
You're going to hold down a door, man.
I literally, lucky I was wearing these Crocs.
Great grip.
I held you out of this, dude.
I'm exhausted.
Should we play it again?
Yeah, one more time.
Bree and Clint on ZM.
It's my birthday.
It's my birthday. It's my birthday.
Brie and Clint's birthday banger.
Right now, let's get some throwback music on if we can.
We figure out the songs that were top in the charts on your 16th birthday.
Rachel, kia ora.
Hello, Rach.
How are you?
Very good.
What's your birthday, Rach?
It's the 2nd of April, and I was born in 1970.
Oh, yes, Rach.
I love the suspense of pause you put in there, Rach.
You were 16, Rach, in 1986 on the 2nd of April,
and back in the 80s, this was top of the charts.
Rach, how good?
You got Billy Ocean.
Actually, I am surprised how good it is.
Yeah.
I'm loving that, Rach.
It's the one good song in that decade.
Oh, Billy Ocean had a couple of good songs in that decade.
I don't want to show my age, but what about,
what about,
Get out of my dreams.
Banger.
And into my car.
How about that, Rach?
Yeah, that's true.
Yeah, good. It sounds a lot better when Billy sings it.? Yeah, that's true. Yeah, good.
It sounds a lot better when Billy sings it.
Oh, Chelsea.
Kia ora.
Hello, Chelsea.
How's it going?
Good.
What's your birthday?
19th of March, 1993.
Okay, Chelsea, you were 16 in 2009 on the 19th of March,
and this is your birthday banger.
I've got some questions in my mind.
But that nothing eats my abscess, baby, now. Driving through South Auckland in their invisible car,
you get Smash Proof and Jen Wegmore, Brother.
Not bad.
Not bad.
Not bad.
Not bad.
I do like that song.
Yeah, it's a chance.
Have we played it for Birthday Banger?
I think we might have.
It's definitely come up before.
Because you said you liked it because you love Jen Wegmore.
Yeah.
Jamie, you're the last one up for Birthday Banger.
Hey, guys. how's it going?
Good.
What's your birthday, Jamie?
21st of September, 1990.
Okay, Jamie, you were 16 in 2006 on the 21st of September,
and this was top of the charts.
I'm a child of the punk rocker with stars in my hair.
Yeah!
77 and 69, revolution within the air.
Jamie.
You've done what this feature endeavours to do every day
and actually uncovered like a rock solid gem
that we haven't heard for ages.
What do you think?
I don't think it's going to beat Bloody Ocean, no.
But I don't think you're all supposed to let you play that, you know?
Sandy Tom. I wish I was a punk rocker.
Yeah, oh, good point.
Jamie, let's be real.
Is Ross ever going to let us
play Billy Ocean on this station?
I highly doubt it.
Maybe if Get Out of My Dreams
and Into My Car had been the song.
I mean, if that comes up,
we've got to play it.
I've got a really good feeling about this.
Like, it's just,
I haven't heard this song in ages.
Should we just do it?
Yeah, I think we're on the same page.
We're not going to please everybody today.
I mean, you know, she needs a bit of a pick-me-up. She wouldn't be doing
much these days. Oh,
she's definitely a one-hit wonder.
You did the right thing.
Jamie, we're playing your birthday
banger. Cheers, guys.
Alright, cheers, mate cheers mate good on you fella
alright
all together now
from the year
2006
that's Jamie's
birthday banger
from Sandy Tom
You've breathed out a breath
Crushed it
That was a good choice I reckon
Banger
I mean the only thing that could have been better would have been
Get out of my dreams
And into my car
This song is older than all of
I don't think any of us were born, but...
Did you hear the creepy version of this?
No.
It was get into something else.
Even get into my car is a bit...
In the current climate is a bit like,
hey, girl, get into my car.
Like, do we know each other?
Where are you going?
Can we consider stranger danger in this situation?
Like, is it a hitchhiker that he's saying it to?
Look, I think we made the right choice.
Okay, good.
All right.
Brie and Clint on Zit-In.
It's my birthday.
It's my birthday.
Brie and Clint's birthday banger.
All right, we get your birthdays.
We figure out what song was number one here in NZ on your 16th birthday.
Yeah.
And then we play one of those songs in full.
Yeah.
Hey, Jessie. Hey, Jessie.
Hi, Jessie.
What's your birthday?
It's the 14th of April, 1994.
Okay, Jessie.
You were 16 in 2010 on the 14th of April

Oh, yes.
I haven't quite got the chorus But my bad
But you get Rihanna
Rude Boy
Here it is
Hang on here it is
How do you feel about that?
That makes me so sad
I don't like that song
Oh no
Oh no

You can't choose your birthday banger.
What were you hoping for?
Anything other than that.
2010.
Okay, let's see.

One love.
Saying give thanks and rest.
You get Bob Marley.
One line.
Yeah, this sounds pretty good.
Does it?
I like that song.
Yeah.
Okay, all right.
I can see why that was number one in the 80s.
Finally, Katie.
Hey, Katie, welcome to Birthday Banger.
Hi, thank you.
It's Kate, by the way.
Oh, Kate, sorry.
My bad.

Okay, Kate.
You were 16 in 1992 on the 14th of September.
And back on that date, this was Top of the Chart. Don't tell my heart, my achy, breaky heart.
Yes!
I just don't think it understands.
Father of Miley Cyrus, you get Billy Ray Cyrus, Achy Breaky Heart.
What is going on today?
That is a rip-off.
So we've got a Rihanna track, we've got a Bob Marley track,
and we've got Achy Breaky Heart.
Who doesn't love Billy Ray Cyrus?
Well.
That mullet.
I don't know how many people love Billy Ray Cyrus anymore.
Yeah, true.
What do you want to hear?
Achy Breaky Heart, Billy Ray Cyrus.
You want to hear Achy Breaky Heart, Billy Ray Cyrus?
Mate, I'm a country gal.
That was big for me back in the 90s.
You can't play Achy Breaky Heart, Billy Ray Cyrus.
Why not?
We played Whitney Houston.
What do you want to hear out of those?
Like, what does your heart tell you?
Well, my heart says go back to Rotorua and play Bob Marley,
but it's actually not the best Bob Marley song either.
It's not the best.
It's a little bit slow.
It's a little bit...
You know what the cop-out is here?
What?
We give it to the producers.
Yeah, let's give it to the...
Well, if you vote for something else,
then we have to go to the producers.
Yeah, I'm voting for...
Or we could let the people vote.
Yeah, we can let the people vote.
So the people... We haven't done this before.
No.
But it's when we can't decide, the people will vote.
You can't vote for your own song.
All right?
So let's go to Jessie first.
Jessie, are you there?
Yeah, I am.
All right, so you can't vote for your own song,
so you've got to pick from Achy Breaky Heart and Bob Marley, One Love.
100% Achy Breaky Heart.
Yes, Queen.
One vote Achy Breaky Heart.
Lisa, you can't vote for your own song.
What song are we playing for Birthday Banger?
Oh, the Miley Cyrus one.
Achy Breaky Heart it is.
Oh, my God, that was my Achy Breaky Heart it is. Oh, my God. That was my achy breaky heart.
Ross.
Oh, hi, Ross.
Hi.
Come on, Ross.
I've got a feeling we won't make it to the end of the song,
but let's see how far we get.
Bree and Clint, ZM.
Woo! Early intimate. Hey, Ross. Early intermittent Hey Ross
Hi Ross
Why do you do the things that you do?
How's it going man?
What's up?
Three steps forward
Thirty steps back

Why don't you do Bob Marley?
Would you have let us play Bob Marley?
Yeah bro
Good to know for the future.
What's the time?
Oh, no.
I'm not going to do it, but...
At least we got one chorus of Osiris.
iHeart Radio, there'll be a great Billy Ray Osiris channel on there.
Just go.

Brie and Clint, good while it lasted.
You're welcome, New Zealand.

and back in 2012, this was number one.
You get Flo Rida and Sia at Wild Ones.
Whilst Banger, I think give it a couple more years and that's going to be a rock solid birthday.
Yeah, I agree.
Needs a bit more time to cool off, right?
Yeah, definitely.
Still a tune.
Still a tune.
Yeah, you've got a good one.
You've got that for life, so enjoy that.
Let's round it out with Richard this afternoon.
Hello, Rich.
G'day, guys.
How you going?
Good.
What's your birthday?
18th of March, 1960.
Yes, 1968.
Okay, Richard.
Can I say, you sound younger than that.
You sound really young.
Thank you.
Yeah, okay.
My radio voice.
You were 16, Richard, in 1984 on the 18th of March,
and back in the 80s, this was number one.
Richard, you got Poirier.
Oh, that's pretty cool.
That is pretty cool.
You know, this is the first, and I think only ever,
song fully in Te Reo Māori to go number one
in the charts. You know since moving
here to New Zealand
I even have taken on board
this song. This was like one of the first things
that I was taught. It's one of the greatest pop songs.
I'm obsessed with it. It came on the other night in the clubs
I was like I know this one. Richard do you endorse
this birthday banger?
Kan Nui Te Pai. That's a good choice.
Good man.
We're playing it.
Congratulations.
Oh my God, yes.
Thank you.
Bree and Clint,

Of the person

That was Richard
But we also had
Katie on for birthday banger
Just then
Whose song was
California Girls
Katy Perry
Katie has stuck around Katie Not only was your Birthday banger By Katy, whose song was California Girls' Katy Perry. Katie has stuck around.
Katie, not only was your Birthday Banger by Katy Perry,
what's the other coincidence that's just happened?
So, Four Year was written by my family.
Are you kidding me, Katie?
Yeah, legit.
I'm pretty sure he's my nana's cousin,
but it was written by a guy called Delvanius Prime.
Yeah.
And, yeah, it's my family.
No way.
Oh, look at me.
I just got goosebumps.
You legit got goosebumps.
I just had a shiver go up my spine.
That is incredible.
I was super happy you chose that one instead of my actual birthday banger.
Yeah, so are we.
What are the odds, Katie?
Would you say Delvanius was your granddad?
No, no, no.
I think he's my nana's cousin. Oh, far out. Cool family. God, Katie. Would you say Delvanious was your granddad? No, no, no. I think he's my nana's cousin.
Oh, far out.
Cool family.
Hey, awesome.
Okay, hey, thank you for sharing that with us as well.
That just makes it so much cooler.
So cool.
No worries.
All good.
All right.
Oh, that's good.
That's why I love Birthday Banger.
See?
It's gems like that.
There you go.
