RADIO personality Ray Hadley has been filmed having an epic dummy spit after his ventriloquist act was trashed by the judges of a new talent quest.
But his expletive-laden meltdown is a comedic turn in the video for Don’t Lose It, the new single from revered rockers The Living End.
The trio, Chris Cheney, Scott Own and Andy Strachan have enlisted an all-star cast of Australian personalities from Kasey Chambers playing Hula Helen to Eddie Maguire as Collingwood Eddie who is a complete failure as a Sheerin juggler.
Other hilarious cameos include Tom Williams as the over-the-top show host Brian O’Brien, a “six-times Logies attendee” and original Wiggle Murray Cook as ageing rapper MC Stretch.
The band play the “superstar” judges, with bassist Scott Owen as a Simon Cowell-lookalike who declares “I don’t care what they do, they can fart into a lunch box as long. I just want someone who is going to make money.”
Jimmy Barnes opens the auditions as Jimmy Jesus, a mariachi musician performing the band’s single.
Other “excellent” acts include Daryl Braithwaite as Steven Saddle from Wagga Wagga whose act involves him riding a stuffed toy horse and Grinspoon frontman Phil Jamieson as the magician Bruce.
Triple M duo Matty Johns and Chris Page try out as gay bikers and You Am I’s Tim Rogers attempts poetry reading as Ron Pendulum.
But the only act to get the thumbs up from the judges is The King, with Molly Meldrum delivering his best Elvis impersonation.
The Living End comedy clip arrives a week after hip hop heroes Hilltop Hoods also stretched their acting chops as suburban daggy dad dancers who get murdered by a serial killer in the video for their latest single Clark Griswold.
