'Get on the Beers' Christmas lights in Melbourne

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.

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

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

If you’re from Victoria, you can go see the light show located in Kings Park, about 40 minutes from the city.

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.
