If you’re going to come at Scott Morrison in the lead-up to this year’s federal election, beware the bite of his new attack dog.

For the second time this month Kyle Sandilands has gone on the offensive after the Prime Minister found himself under siege.

First it was storming out of the Kyle and Jackie O Show minutes into their February 2 episode after he objected to a discussion about alleged texts sent by former NSW Premier Gladys Berejiklian where she could Morrison a “horrible, horrible person”.

“This is not real news,” Sandilands roared. “Don’t make up fictitous bulls**t drama over nothing.”

Sandilands was at his colourful best again on Tuesday morning as the reaction to Morrison’s interview with wife Jenny on 60 Minutes continues.

One of the most talked-about moments from Sunday night’s show was the 53-year-old’s attempt at playing April Sun in Cuba by the band Dragon on his ukulele.

The New Zealand band objected to the use of their most memorable hit, releasing a critical statement.

“It is a cynical move for a politician to co-opt music in an attempt to humanise themselves come election time,” it read.

“Maybe if his trip to Hawaii had not been cut short, he could have learnt the lyrics to the rest of the chorus.”

Sandilands’ co-host Jackie Henderson read the statement on KIIS FM on Tuesday, prompting an angry outburst from the shock jock.

“You know what Dragon, **** ***,” Sandilands began.

When Henderson told him to “stop swearing so much”, he continued: “No! This is some piece of s**t old band, trying to be relevant by putting out a press release. You stupid old fools, shut up and enjoy your Spotify streaming … your $14 a week you get from Spotify and die a quiet death.”

Henderson again attempted to pull Sandilands into line, saying she didn’t like to “speak ill of the dead”.

Dragon singer Marc Hunter and keyboard player Paul Hewson died in 1997 and 1985 respectively.

“This statement isn’t from them,” Sandilands said. “This is from someone who is alive.”

Henderson: “I know but this is obviously from the estate of Dragon."

Sandilands: “The estate of Dragon … Who gives a screwing a*** about the estate of Dragon. There’d be no estate. There’d be a caravan somewhere on the north coast. That’s the estate of Dragon.”
