Dan Andrews’ ‘get on the beers’ remix gets turned into Christmas light shows

Melburnians have turned Daniel Andrews’ “get on the beers” remix into hilarious light shows — but which house did it better?

Well, something good had to come out of 2020.

Victoria’s Premier Dan Andrews’ famous “get on the beers’ remix” has been turned into full-blown Christmas light shows at homes in Victoria, and they’re incredible.

Residents of one house in Sandringham, which is part of Melbourne’s iconic Grange Road light display, are ready to “get on the beers”.

Their display plays back a remix of the Premier’s recent press conference, where he issued a strict warning to Victorians not to “get on the beers” at the beginning of the first lockdown.

But it’s not the only home to feature the remix, with a Kings Park home beaming the Premier’s now-famous quote while its Christmas lights beat in time.

“Oh wow this is actually the best. Whoever you are, you went to so much effort,” one Facebook user wrote.

“The best thing of 2020!!!” said another.

“If there’s an award for Xmas lights, they win hands down,” a third user wrote.

In April this year, Mr Andrews said in a press conference that nobody could “get on the beers” in Victoria during their harsh lockdown.

“You won’t be able to go to the pub, because the pub is shut. That doesn’t mean you can have all your mates around to home, and get on the beers. That’s not appropriate. It’s not essential, it’s not needed and all it will do is spread the virus,” Mr Andrews said.

As expected, the speech was quickly turned into a remix, made from YouTubers Mash’d N Kutcher.

That remix hit number two on the iTunes charts, beating some of the biggest artists.

But who is the genius behind the light show?

Melbourne resident Minh Tuan Nguyen, 21, said he wanted to do something special, but a little different for Christmas this year.

“It’s something I whipped up myself - I learned from the internet,” he said.

“It took me about 15 days to set up the lights, and 10 to 14 days to program each song on the computer.”

As an aspiring lighting designer, Nguyen has been setting up Christmas lights for the past six years.
