Got to meet a member of TISM the other day in circumstances I can't relate for....reasons.... Despite the fact that I am 55 and had seen them live, he almost seemed embarrassed to say he'd been in the band. He was, as many of the famous musicians I have met, more interested in my band, and what instruments I have. Told him my long boring story about how my ex-wife bought a plastic Christmas tree at a second hand shop in a cardboard box that had "GREG, XMAS TREE" written on it, so we decided that was the tree's actual name. Every Christmas when we set him up I'd sing loudly as I put it together. The TISM member gave me a massive eyeroll and a chuckle.
Well that just flew right over their heads...... Saw TISM tonight, cracking gig, was like being teleporting back to 1999 when I last saw them. Such a fun, unhinged live music experience. Their greatest attribute and weakness was that uniquely Australian satirical humour.
The bit in the chorus about "Greg, the stop sign!" is about him not seeing the traffic sign and stopping, so he's t-boned by a car or truck coming through the intersection and dies. All that effort making plans, and you can be gone in an instant.
That stadium would have been Moorabbin Oval in Moorabbin, a bunch of the members of TISM are fans of the St. Kilda Saints and they probably would have just talked to the club about filming for like half an hour. Doubt it would cost very much if anything.
Gee you seemed to miss the point of TISM which is their lyrics with versus like "The rich kid becomes a junkie, The poor kid an advertiser, What a tragic waste of potential, Being a junkie's not so good either,"
@@Laraikha loved the bit before it too: "Sometime in the next ten thousand years A comet's gonna wipe out all trace of Man I'm banking on it coming before My end of year exams" They're long odds for sure, but it sure beats studying. :)
About Darren Milane he was a football player that crashed into the back of a semi his phone was stuck in his head he was on drugs the song was not played on the radio for years
Aussie here and I still remember having a drinking sesh at my house circa 2004 and this song came on and everyone just stopped what they were doing and sang along wholeheartedly. Such a fun song and my favourite of the band, hands down. That said, I also interpreted it as a warning of not really knowing when to stop partying and grow up a little bit and the opposite also applying: peaking too early in life. Never thought someone from another country would react to this 😂 Ps. Pronounced Tis-m.
Saints weren't much chop back when this was released. Had some better days since unlike my mob the Bagger's who hopefully now have turned the corner. Time will tell. Saints need to persevere with Ratts, he will be a good coach eventually, he just needs a decent chance.
Those Collingwood bastards did us by a point The day mother died. When they told dad he shook his head and said, "Makes you wanna cry." Winmar, you're a football genius, and, oh, Let me tell you son, Remember my old man 'cos he wasn't Referring to mum.
For people outside of Australia…or even Melbourne for that matter some of the jokes and references will zoom right over your head but their songs all slap
Like "But I've never done a right hand turn at Swanston Street" in the song "Get thee in my behind, Satan" I thought this was some reference to the famous Melbourne hook turn, but in retrospect I was wrong.
This song has a special place for me as I also missed a stop sign once with 5 of my mates in the car with me - One of them call out at the last second, "shane! the stop (bang)...sign". Then he said, "never mind" as I slid over it sideways in the rain...was so funny and I copped shiit about it for years after. "Shane, watch out for the....never mind".
A little info on TISM or This Is Serious Mum is a seven-piece anonymous alternative rock band from Melbourne, Australia. The group was formed on 30 December 1982 by vocalist/drummer Humphrey B. Flaubert, bassist/vocalist Jock Cheese and keyboardist/vocalist Eugene de la Hot Croix Bun, and enjoyed a large underground/independent following.
reminds me of hearing this song on JJJ driving to work in the morning : ) PS the moral of the story according to this song is that your life and everything is pre-determined, and you don't have any actual control over your fate. Just like Greg's fate was sealed when he missed the stop sign, poor Greg.
TISM are one of the great Aussie bands. Unequalled live, with lyrical humour that only an Australian would get. Definitely an Aussie band for Aussies. Levels of satire and taking the piss out of themselves and others only Aussies do. I’ve seen them many times live and owned every album. A truly great band. Checkout Great trucking songs of the Renaissance, and The beasts of suburban albums fir some earlier, possibly harder hitting songs. “T.I.S.M. are shit.” (Any true tism fan understands this quote)
@@DMSProduktionsI've gotten into Primus in the last few months, very similar. Not that Jock Cheese is Les Claypool's arsehole, but Jock is also an extremely talented bassist.
In answer to the question about the cost of hiring a stadium - the clip was filmed at the old suburban home ground of St Kilda Football Club. Someone connected with the band knew a couple of the footy players and the agreement was made to film the players at training and use the oval.
There's an article online detailing how TISM actually saved the saints. Literally. They headlined a benefit concert that without which, Sainters may have folded due to not enough dollarydoos. It was literally called "Save Our Saints", hence the SOS on the boot shelf in the scene with Humphrey in this vid
@DMSProduktions Ron got around a bit!!! I went to Ringwood for a year, was technically at Mt Lilydale, but did a VET engineering course, and God I wish I knew about TISM then. This was quite decade ago, I was in yr 12
These guys did the best live set I ever saw in my life. PS if you wanted to rent St Kilda's (the team in red black and white in the video) home ground of Moorabbin, a case of beer and a promise not to laugh at their trophy cabinet ought to do it :)
This song was also controversial at the time as it loosely references the death Darren Millane who was a very famous AFL player of the Collingwood Football Club, on the 7th of October 1991 Millane was extremely intoxicated with a blood alcohol reading of 0.332% when the vehicle he was driving clipped the back of a semi trailer and rolled killing him instantly, Millane earlier on in his career was the captain of the Dandenong VFL club.
He was actually coming back to South Australia when it happened. I remember in the 80's we lost a few footy legends from S.A coming back home for holidays from playing in the VFL before the comp went national. We still see Peter Motley at some functions.
Greg dont have a rest of his life. He missed the stop sign. One of the best pub bands in history. And they are getting back together this year. 100 great tracks at least.
@@billschmidt4581 WRONG Greg! Refs Greg Millane of Dandenong FBC (hence the Dandenong reference) went on to play for Collingwood before his fateful 'accident'! But it WAS a nod TO the TAC ads as well! BOTH Gregs pilloried in this song! Sadly 1 was real!
And my favourite (which I've never heard - I just saw the title on a leaflet advertising an EP stuck to a lamp-post): "668 the Neighbour of the Beast".
TISM at the Playroom in 1994 was my first live gig in Oz after moving there from the US in June 1993. Great band, fucking awesome venue...so sad when the tore it down to put up a parking lot!🤦😔 To any Yank who trips across this, 90s Australian bands are a treasure trove. Get yourself into the Triple J Top 100 in that decade and enjoy the music! The Cruel Sea and Skunkhour are two of my all time favs (favourites) that you probably never heard of but are pure gold 🤙
You should check out their song "Defecate on my face" - it's a poignant song about the troubles of Hitler in the latter parts of the war. Or even "John Bonhams Coke roadie"...
I had a mate named Greg back in the 80's when this came out. He really regretted being called Greg back then. Made for hours of fun for us but not so much for him. And yeah its pronounced. Tizzum.
@@dougieboxell6505 Yeah you are right, I am getting old and my decades got mixed up. I first saw them live in the 1980's so got mixed up. I remember seeing them at the Tote in Collingwood, dont know what year and a few times after that, they were a good night out back then.

These guys were one of the great live shows. They always wore outfits that hid their identities. The rumours were a lot of the band were serious professionals who couldn't risk the dichotomy ie super outrageous shows and songs and careers. The band were accidentally outed, real names not their performance personas, by a intern on a TV appearance in the credits at the end of that show. Things did get serious because that was a part of their performances. Some of the stage costumes were really out there including playing in sumo outfits. Classic and great live. Definitely way better live than on vinyl. Brilliant. Fans flocked to see them to see what they would cook up next. Once outed the impact was gone.
They played a gig at my uni with Regurgitator years ago.... There were people outside the venue with beer listening in and the band members decided to open the doors ad let them in. Its the only time Ive seen a band getting into fights with members of the venue security :) It was fucking awesome tho :))))
Live was definitely the best way to listen to TISM. Amongst the greatest live performances I have ever seen. Not bad for a bunch of guys from outer South East Melbourne!
The great thing about TISM is it is a rotating roster of members. No one knows who they are but there are many music teachers, doctors, lawyers etc who just do it for the fun.
Well he does hear the end of it, because coming through the intersection he missed the stop sign on is a semi trailer (also called a tractor truck or eighteen wheeler over in the USA).

See, the only problem with you guys reacting to TISM is that they are very, very Australian. Many of their lyrics are extremely Australia-centric and genuinely will not make sense to someone who didn't grow up here. In the 80s and 90s. This song, for example, is (kind of) a joke about a certain, specific PSA on Aussie TV. Please note, this is not a criticism at all. There is literally no way for you guys to have known that. Still, it's great music. Of course, having said that, this is literally the only channel I could find that actually has reactions to TISM.
@@ChrisAnderson42 I dunno. There's plenty of their stuff that even I don't understand, because I'm from Sydney and they're from Melbourne, and a fair number of their songs are very Melbourne-centric. They were great at Big Day Out 96 though.
We say TISM as in tissum as far as I know here in Australia. We are not too formal here. T. I. S.M. if we underlined every letter of the word the name and spelt it out other Australians would go crazy ha ha. Too formal. Too British sounding. Ad or Advert for advertisement is another example. Abbreviate and shorten words. Oz for Australia. Aussie. So many examples. Or we make up our own words.
I...never thought I would ever see a TISM reaction. Ever.
There's actually a few out there!

As opposed to the ones in the US that have the words "Hammer time" at the bottom.
