The Twelfth Man - Wired World Of Sports
Review by Sissel Storli
The album Wired World Of Sports by Twelfth Man is a hilarious and entertaining take on the world of sports. As a parody of sports commentary, the album offers a unique and comical perspective on various sporting events and personalities.
The album features a range of skits and songs, each one poking fun at a different aspect of the sporting world. From cricket to rugby, tennis to golf, Twelfth Man covers it all with witty lyrics and clever wordplay.
One of the standout tracks on the album is "Marvellous," which parodies the infamous post-match interview by Australian cricketer, Dennis Lillee. The track is a laugh-out-loud moment that perfectly captures the absurdity of the original interview.
Another highlight is "The World Cup Song," which takes aim at the over-the-top hype surrounding the FIFA World Cup. The song is a catchy and satirical take on the football tournament, complete with amusing commentary and hilarious lyrics.

Gra-ee-me Labrooy
Billy you legend!
Absolute Aussie comedy classic!
Rubbish Binni was left out by the selectors last night, but no one collected him
A true Australian classic??
For the Lezzos, better strap on the plastic girls! ????
Typical stinkin' fucken hot day here in Bombay. absolute classic
Stupid political correctness has killed this kind of comedy bloody snowflakes ?
Kenneth sounds like Albanese
Louie the Lip, Big Dazza Eastlake, Ritchie, Gibbo, Big Maxie, Big Jack the Supercoach, Ol' Bony Tony.... and now Warnie.... All Legends.
Bloody classic. Cheers ?
At the end of the tape remember when they said on the other side is an edited version lol & all the swear words are played then the voice says have been removed. ?? I always laugh at that.
James Jackman, if you're out there, thanks so much for introducing me to this 25 odd years ago.
I used to love this. But I do admit, there's stuff in the content that would be inappropriate today ...
My friend gave me this when we were in highschool in '88.
Fast forward a few years and we just listened to it for the first time together ?
He's now my fiancé

This was the best one out of the lot & we could all do the voices, I loved doing Ian Chappell when I was in high school.

To this day whenever I ask my mum "Where are you?" there's a good chance her reply will be "I'm in the glove box." It took me years to work out where it came from.

One of the best examples of Australian humour. Sad fact is this would have no chance of getting published today. It would get squashed just like Mahat Mekoat. Enjoy it before it gets censored for ever.
