Each day I live, I want to be, a day to give the best of me.
I'm only one, but not alone.
My finest day is yet unknown.
I broke my heart for every game.
To taste the sweet, I face the pain.
I rise and fall, yet through it all, this much remains.
I want one moment in time, when I'm more than I thought I could be.
When all of my dreams are parted away, and the answers are all up to me.
Give me one moment in time, when I'm racing with destiny.
Then in that one moment of time, I will feel, I will feel eternity.
You're a winner for my time.
If you seize that one moment in time, make it time.
Give me one moment in time, when I'm more than I thought I could be.
When all of my dreams are parted away, and the answers are all up to me.
Give me one moment in time, when I'm racing with destiny.
Then in that one moment of time, I will be, I will be, I will be free.
I will be, I will be free.
Would you like a wounded bull just to keep your savings account open?
The place to be.
What a beautiful summer's day again, and hello everybody.
Welcome to another in our series of Young Talent Time summer specials.
Tonight, well, it's an international show.
We travel right around the world to far and distant places
and entertain you internationally Young Talent Time style.
So I'm glad you could join us, and here we go.
Hello, Australia. It's time for...
And tonight we're going to travel around the world.
And here's the Young Talent Team, back in the USMR.
To me from Miami Beach, B-O-N-C, didn't get to bed last night.
On the way to sleep, a battle's on my knee.
Man, I had a dreadful night.
I'm back in the USMR.
You don't know how lucky you are, boy.
Back in the USMR.
Been away so long, I haven't even faced.
Gee, it's good to be back home.
Leave it till tomorrow to unpack my case.
Come on and disconnect your phone.
I'm back in the USMR.
You don't know how lucky you are, boy.
Back in the USMR.
Baby girls really knock me out.
They make the West see fine.
Moscow girls make me sing and shout.
And George is always on my mind.
I'm back in the USMR.
You don't know how lucky you are, boy.
Back in the USMR.
Baby girls really knock me out.
They make the West see fine.
And Moscow girls make me sing and shout.
And George is always on my mind.
Show me round your snowpeak night with weed and sound.
Take me to your daddy's farm.
Let me hear your mother like you're singing it out.
Come and keep your comment warm.
I'm back in the USMR.
You don't know how lucky you are, boy.
Back in the USMR.
I'm back in the USMR.
Yeah!
And now, here's Johnny Young!
Hello, everybody, and welcome to this very international Young Talent Time
that we've got for you tonight.
And I've never seen such a big and excited audience in our studio
for, oh, at least a week.
How you doing?
Yeah!
You're looking great.
A lot of kids dressed up, too.
And we're back in the USSR.
We really are becoming an international show, of course, aren't we, Vint?
Yeah, yeah.
Because next week, right around Australia for two hours,
we'll be showing you our international Young Talent Time
from Universal Studios in the United States.
Lots of fun.
And we're planning, busily planning to go to Russia
to say hello to all the Russian people.
Got a letter from some people who are helping us
organize the Russian program the other day,
and they said there's some fabulously talented kids,
singers and dancers and everything.
Fantastic.
Yeah, and they're catching up with all the pop music in Russia, too, now.
So have you all been practicing your...
All that stuff?
What's that called?
It's very hard to do.
What's that called?
They can do it?
What? You can do it?
They can do it?
Come here.
Go right ahead.
So, Jamie and...
Jamie are going to do some Cossack dancing, OK?
Sure.
Here we go.
MUSIC
Right in the middle.
That's Jamie.
That's...
Ah, that's...
That's cheating, you guys.
You've got to learn to do it without it.
Still behind your bottoms.
But it is a wonderful world, isn't it?
Young Talent Time's world of international music.
And tonight we do pay tribute internationally
as Courtney lets us know that it really is
a wonderful, wonderful world.
Here comes Courtney on Young Talent Time.
I see trees of green, red roses too.
I see them bloom for me and you.
And I think to myself,
what a wonderful world.
I see skies of blue and clouds of white.
Bright blessed days, dark sacred nights.
And I think to myself,
what a wonderful world.
The colours of the rainbow, so pretty in the sky,
are also on the faces of people going by.
I see friends shaking hands, saying,
what do you do?
They're really saying, I love you.
I hear babies cry, I watch them grow.
They'll learn much more than I'll ever know.
And I think to myself,
what a wonderful world.
Yes, I think to myself,
this is a wonderful world.
Oh yeah!
Why did we make Hyundai toughest in its class?
You always first, oh yeah!
You shouldn't have to treat your car with kid gloves.
You always first, oh yeah!
But why does it come with a high?
Hyundai, cars that make sense.
It's because I love you most of all.
I love the way the kids get dressed up
when they come into the studio.
Do you plan all this way ahead of time, do you?
Yeah, you know Young Talent Time's coming up,
you all get dressed up, you look beautiful.
It's time to give a call to one of our viewers
who wrote to us, and Julie Ramadon,
who's 10 years old and comes from Sydney,
and she's got a song coming up.
So we'll give her a little call right now on the phone.
And let's see, it's ringing.
Hello?
Hello, hi is that Julie?
Yes.
How you doing?
Good.
You enjoying the show so far?
Yeah.
Don't forget to watch next week, will you Julie?
No.
You know what's on next week?
Yeah.
What is it?
Two Hour Show.
Yeah, and where's it from?
From Universal Studios in America,
that's where it's from.
It's good to have you with us tonight, Julie,
and what would you like to have as your request
on Young Talent Time tonight?
One Night in Bangkok.
Ah, that's a good international song for our international show
and you're a pretty girl too.
Thanks for speaking with us.
See you soon, Julie, and here comes One Night in Bangkok.
Thank you.
One song on our international show and moving right along with our special requests,
I want you to meet two absolutely wonderful people
because they say it's true that it's never ever too late to fall in love
and it's never ever too late to have a happy childhood.
Well, Eve Simpson and Eddie Nankervis are not only having a great time together,
but they're going to get married soon.
How about that?
Now, Eve, I've heard all about you.
You love dancing and singing and having a really, really good time.
But one thing that I have to ask you is,
how come you're going out with a younger man?
Catch him young and trying.
I believe she's a real life wire, Eddie, isn't she?
Yes, she is.
And you're having a good time together?
I would.
Good on you.
Well, we've got some flowers for the lady and we've got some chocolates that you can share.
Thank you.
And it's a real pleasure and lots of good luck.
And let us know when the...
Hey, listen, you might have some challenges here for the hands.
You reckon?
Beautiful lady.
Lovely.
And I've heard that you like dancing and having a good time.
So this song is especially for you on our international show tonight.
And to sing it is our sweetheart, Natalie Miller.
Here she comes.
Thank you.
Beautiful.
What's the matter?
Oh, is that for me?
That's a magic wand, huh?
Well, you come and sit next to me here and you can wave it.
I hope you enjoyed that, Evie and Eddie.
That was terrific filing there.
80 and 81.
What have you got on?
A teddy bear.
I've got a teddy bear on.
I thought it was a lion.
It's a teddy bear.
Well, you look really beautiful, sweetheart.
And for all our requests tonight, the phone request and the letter request,
we've got all sorts of Young Talent Time stuff for you.
I hope you enjoy, like, this latest addition to our Young Talent Time game,
which is a lot of fun.
And this has got Ricky on it.
And, of course, we have our Young Talent Time game,
our Young Talent Time book, and our record for all of our...
There we go.
Take your pick for all of our Young Talent Time writer-in-a-verse.
OK.
Got to do that, because we send them stuff
and we get them from people to give away,
so we've got to let them know what we're doing, don't we?
And thank you.
This is another request from Jane Price in Shepperton in Victoria,
and she writes,
Dear Johnny Young, hi, how are you?
Really love Young Talent Time, and I think Joey is a real spunk.
Isn't that cute?
I think there's a few that agree with that.
Does Joey like Courtney?
Ooh!
Oh, there's some rumours.
Does Joey...
Hang on, well, we'll have to ask Joey...
Does Joey like Courtney?
No!
Pardon?
Yes!
Yes?
Yeah, no, she's embarrassed.
OK.
Here's a photo of me and my brother at Dreamworld,
and I drew a picture of them.
They're at Dreamworld,
and I'd really like the girls to sing a song for me
and say hi to Joey.
Thanks a million from Jane Price.
Good on you, Jodie.
Well, the girls will sing a song for you and for Joey,
and it's called Walk Like an Egyptian.
Yeah!
CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
MUSIC PLAYS
CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
Thank you, girls.
Juanita, Courtney and Ricky.
Walk Like an Egyptian,
and if you have requests on Young Talent Club,
you give us a call, drop us a line,
go to the station you're now watching,
and we'll try and do it for you.
Back with some flashbacks and a beautiful Northern song
after this break.
MUSIC PLAYS
Bring out your natural highlights with Halsey.
There's one for you, hair colour.
MUSIC PLAYS
Ah, that's funny.
You want to see a funny picture of me going back about 15 years ago?
Well, not just me.
This is a Young Talent Time magazine
that Jeremy Cooley, our in-studio host, found in the archives.
And look at that. Check that out.
Can you see that?
Look at the length of the hair.
Look, there's another picture on the inside.
Look.
Oh!
Ah, yuck. Thank you very much, Jeremy.
Actually, there's a lot more.
You're wearing a skivvy, John.
You're wearing a skivvy!
What do you call it? Bogan?
Bogan's wear skivvies.
There's a gorgeous picture here.
Oh, look, that's Debbie Byrne
when she was on Young Talent Time. Looking great.
That's nice. And...
Karen, I'll show you more of these.
But I also found a videotape
of a show that we recorded right here in this studio about ten years ago.
And I'm sure the mums and dads...
And I was surprised because there was some wonderful talent,
and you won't believe who was our special guest on this particular show.
And we'll start with the opening of the show
and then show you some of the kids
and then show you the special guest.
It's very funny.
And we'll be back on Young Talent Time by around about ten years.
See you later.
CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
This young talent time
We're going on
To town and sea
And Rossburg is on its way
We'll be chewing you up with a grin
Let the stars watch you fall on your knees
And the music of fun time begins
Young Talent Time
The Young Talent Team, and they're about to join you in the Navy.
So, ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls, the stars of our show,
the Young Talent Team. Yeah!
CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
In the Navy
Sail the seven seas
In the Navy
With humanity
In the Navy
Come on, now, people, make a stand
In the Navy
Can't you see we need a hand?
In the Navy
Come on, Detective Motherland
In the Navy
Come on and join your fellow men
In the Navy
Make a stand
CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
They want you, they want you, they want you as you be true
The only man on the island
There's 150 native girls
Under the coconut tree
And the only man on the island
Is me
CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
A very special guest star, Mr Daryl Summers.
CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
MUSIC PLAYS
Lady love
Your love is peaceful like the summer's breeze
My lady love
Where the love is tender as a baby's touch
You give me all of the things that I need so much
You're my world, lady love
APPLAUSE
This is the sea of me
You'll be on my mind
Every time I hear this song
Mrs Diffie, roll along
Until the end of time
Got a country song forever lost in song
Fun, fun, fun! I'm afraid of water!
Oh, my goodness! What am I gonna do?
I get seasick!
In the Navy
Sell the seven seas
In the Navy
Put your mind at ease
In the Navy
Come on, now, people, make a stand
In the Navy
CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
Hey, didn't get me that time!
SCREAMS
MUSIC PLAYS
Tina Arena was a bit like New Courtney.
She used to always cop all the rough treatment on the show all the time.
But she's fun. I hope you're watching, Tina,
and I hope you enjoyed that memory right there.
And, of course, that was Daryl Summers,
who was a...he wasn't a contestant.
As a matter of fact, he was here at Network 10
doing a series called The Daryl and Ozzie Show
on...that's about nine, ten years ago, wouldn't it be, Johnny? Yeah.
And have a look at this.
This is a photo that I found
around about the same time Vinny Del Tito was going to the Johnny Young talent school.
He looks cute, doesn't he?
APPLAUSE
OK, I hope you enjoyed sharing those memories with us,
and we'll do it again. It's fun, isn't it, looking back?
It wasn't all that different to what it is now.
No, well, the cost has changed!
Well, the same cost! Ha-ha! Nothing's changed!
That's great. OK.
Seeing as it is our international show,
I think it's only appropriate that I wear my Coober hat
to introduce this beautiful song as our tribute to the northern part of Australia,
where more and more towns are watching Young Talent Time
because of the satellite system.
So hi to all the people enjoying Young Talent Time in the Outback
and all those distant northern towns
as we pay tribute to you in a great northern song.
Here's our boys!
CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
A salvation on the bed plate
And the children drank lemonade
And the morning lasted all day, all day
And through an open window came
Lights that notched for any younger day
Pushing the town away
Oh, oh
Hey, ma, ma, ma, doobie, doobie, di-ya
Hey, ma, ma, ma, eh, eh, ah
Back in a northern town
Oh, ma, ma, ma
Evening turned to rain
Watched the water roll down the drain
As we followed him down
To the station
You know he never walked away goodbye
But you could see it written in his eyes
As the train rode out of sight
Bye-bye
Hey, ma, ma, ma, ma, doobie, doobie, di-ya
Hey, ma, ma, ma, eh, eh, ah
Life in a northern town
Oh, ma, ma, ma
Hey, ma, ma, ma
Doobie, doobie, di-ya
Hey, ma, ma, ma, eh, eh, ah
Life in a northern town
Oh, ma, ma, ma
Hey, ma, ma, ma
Doobie, doobie, di-ya
Hey, ma, ma, ma
Oh, Mama, Mama, hey, hey, hey, ah
Take it easy on your shell, Mama, Mama
Hey, oh, Mama, Mama, doobie, doobie, die-ah
Hey, oh, Mama, Mama, hey, hey, hey, ah
Life in the northern town
Mama, Mama, Mama, doobie, doobie, die-ah
Hey, oh, Mama, Mama, hey, hey, hey, ah
Some kids like their fruit round
Some kids like their fruit long
Speaking for myself, I like my fruit flat out
Hey, cause a roll-up is a roll-up
It's a tricky sort of stuff
And speaking for myself, I can never get enough
Tear them, you can share them, you can cut them on a plate
Roll them in a ball and give them to your mate
A roll-up is a roll-up
If you like to miss a bow, get Uncle Toby's roll-ups
Real fruit flat out
Uncle Toby's fruit roll-ups, they're real fruit flat out
Well, everybody's ready to dance and have a good time
As our international show takes you to Rio de Janeiro
Hey!
When my feet follow the beating of my heart
Well, when my baby, when my baby smells at me
I feel like dancing in the jungle
My meal, when my baby smells at me
The sun lightens up my life
And I am feeling lost, wild and lost
When my feet follow the beating of my heart
Well, when my baby, when my baby smells at me
I feel like dancing in the jungle
My meal, when my baby smells at me
The sun lightens up my life
And I feel free at last, wild at last
Wild at last
Rio!
Well done, Jamie!
OK, let's get back down to work right here in Australia
as we take a little look at the land down under
Five red from a man in bustles
He was six foot four and full of muscles
I said, do you speak my language?
He didn't smile and gave me a magic might that I'm rich
He said, I come from the land down under
Where women go and men thunder
Can't you hear, can't you hear the thunder?
You better run, you better take cover
Down in a dam in Bombay
With a sack of jar and not much to say
I said to the man, are you trying to tempt me?
Because I come from the land down in front of you
He said, I come from the land down under
Where women go and men thunder
Can't you hear, can't you hear the thunder?
You better run, you better take cover
I come from the land down under
Where women go and men thunder
Can't you hear, can't you hear the thunder?
You better run, you better take cover
She walks in, I'm suddenly a hero
I'm taking him, my heart's peeking to her eyes
Look at me, can't you tell I'd be so fair?
See the message in your eyes
You make me feel as I close to my dream
And then suddenly it's all over
Suddenly the wheels are in motion
And I, I'm ready to sail any ocean
Suddenly I don't need the answers
Cause I, I'm ready to take all my chances with you
How can I tell you all that matters?
I rely on anything you say
I'm taking the knowing wheels of the chatter
Every day, say what you should say
You make me feel as I close to my dream
And then suddenly it's all over
Longing to spend every moment of the day
With you, with you
Suddenly the wheels are in motion
And I, I'm ready to sail any ocean
Suddenly I don't need the answers
Cause I, I'm ready to take all my chances with you
Every day, say what you should say
You make me feel as I close to my dream
And I, I'm ready to take all my chances with you
Suddenly the wheels are in motion
And I, I'm ready to take all my chances with you
Swap on sunscreen and slap on a hat.
What's his number?
That's the sun protection factor.
The higher the number, the safer you are.
Slip, slop, slap, slip on a shirt,
slap on sunscreen and...
No, it's got a high number, though.
Slap on a hat.
Slip, slop, slap, na-na,
in the sun this summer, say,
Slip, slop, slap.

Well, I was hitching with my bluey
On a dusty, roomed-out road
When along came a semi
With a high-end canvas load
If you're gonna do the data, mate
With me, you can ride
So I climbed up in the cabin
And sat down inside
He asked me if I'd see a road
With so much dust and sand
I said, listen, mate
I've travelled every road in this hilland
Cos I've been everywhere, man
I've been everywhere, man
Crossed the deserts, swam in a breeze
And I've been there, man
In trouble, I've had much to share
And I've been everywhere
I've taken a job and I've been everywhere
And I've been everywhere, man
I've been everywhere, man
Hi, Clancy.
Hi, good morning, Ricky.
Hey, Clancy, do you know what the coldest country in the world is?
Er, coldest country?
Er, no, no, what?
Chile.
Hey, Joey, I went to a French restaurant last night
And, gee, it was good.
Do they serve snails?
Oh, yeah, they serve anyone.
They serve anybody.
Well, we have any kind of jokes on this show.
What's your name?
Caroline.
Caroline, and what's your giggle for everybody around Australia?
Why did the tree blush?
I don't think I've heard this one.
Why did the tree blush?
Because it saw the nature's streets.
OK, Michelle's your name.
I know, because we met before in the commercial break, didn't we?
Yeah.
What's your giggle?
What driver doesn't get caught for driving?
What driver doesn't get caught for driving or for speeding?
Speeding.
What driver doesn't get caught for speeding?
A screwdriver.
Because I've been everywhere, man, I've been everywhere, man
I said there's a spare van, I bring them out and never let you love at my shed
Man, I've been everywhere, I've been to all kinds of places
And I've been to all kinds of places
Hi, Vy.
Hey, I'm Vy.

And what's frozen tea?
Ice tea.

Ice tea.
We'll have a bath then!
What's your name?
Simone.
OK, Simone, you tell everybody your giggle.
Why were the two flies playing football in the saucer?
Why were the two flies playing football?
You're funny, Vy.
Why were the two flies playing football in the saucer?
Because they were practising for the cap.
That's a clever one. Thank you.
And yours?
My name's Mark.
Oh, hi, Mark.
Nice, my name's John. Nice to meet you.
What happens if your feet smell and your nose runs?
You're built upside down.
Oh, dear.
That's funny.
And now, ladies and gentlemen, we've got something very special for you tonight
because we've got a little girl called Linda Lane, Linda Jane,
who's got a friend called Charlie who's kind of cute.
So let's say hello to Charlie and Linda Jane.
Gidday! Hi! Hey, Courtney, come over here.
Oh, Gidday. Hi, Charlie.
She's gorgeous. Oh, thank you.
Hello, Courtney. Hi.
Oh, I've got a Jake. Have you? I have.
OK, listen to this. This is great.
What would you get if you crossed an elephant with a kangaroo?
I don't know. What would you get?
Don't you know? No.
Beak holes all over Australia!
Oh, that's funny.
Right, well, you both share an interesting talent, so tell us about it.
What is it? Well, our interesting talent is called ventriloquism.
She thinks she can speak without moving her lips.
OK, where did ventriloquism originate?
It did originate in Greece. It was about 3,000 years ago, quite a long time ago.
Oh, right. How long have you two been together?
Oh, we've been together for 13 years.
There's also quite a lot in all of us, too.
Yeah, we're known as Linda Jane and Company.
Right, OK. What's your favourite hobby?
My favourite hobby is girls, Courtney.
Charlie, he's terrible. I'd like to serenade you.
Would you like to hear me sing? Yeah.
Oh, I've got some flowers down here. Oh, yeah, get them.
These are some flowers from Charlie. Oh, thank you.
Isn't she gorgeous?
OK, well, you can sing your song.
Ready? Yeah.
You make me love you
I didn't want to do it
You make me want you
And all the time I knew it
I guess you'll always knew it
You make me happy sometimes
You make me sad
And there were times called me
You made me feel so bad
You made me cry
Cos I didn't want to tell you
I didn't want to tell you
I want some love
That's true
Yes, I do
Indeed, I do
You know I do
Give me, give me, give me
What I'd die for
You know you've got the brand of kisses
That I'd cry for
You know you made me
I like you
Give me
You know you make me like you
That's it
Yeah
Not bad.
Oh!
Yeah.
Oh.
Thank you.
Cos I've been everywhere, man
I've been everywhere, man
Crossed the desert spam and I breathe the mountain air
Man, I travel on my ride, my ship
And I've been everywhere
I've been here, there, everywhere
I've been everywhere
That's it
Oh, yeah
When we break out of school, we need something real cool
Nothing that's a strain, what gives your brain a pain
Show a bit of taste and have a pillow book
We don't need advice on what's perfect and what's nice
We all know what's best
Yeah, pillow books are best
All chocolate
All sugar
All rice
Good, billabongs take it
So I got one for you in the crowd
Unwrap your laughing gear
Unwrap your laughing gear and a full billabong
It's only natural

And coast to coast
Easy to get anywhere
Come the transcontinental

It's too far
Somewhere on the way
