Many years ago the anonymous Australian rock group TISM (known for their satirical songs and over-the-top performances) appeared on Hey Hey It's Saturday, singing their song "Saturday Night Palsy".
I got a strong feeling that they had offended a lot of people and certainly wouldn't be invited back on TV, given that Daryl Somers was taken aback at the song title (which is a nickname for Radial Neuropathy and is also known as Honeymoon Palsy), not to mention some of the lyrics ("I don't want to live and I don't want to die / I want a red hot poker through the eye"), plus the reassurance by the crew that "this was NOT Red Faces"
But I'm interested in how they even got on TV in the first place. Did they send the producers a less potentially offensive song, then switch? Was it all planned? Did someone get fired for it?
I've had a bit of a search for answers, but most interviews with the group have nothing to do with that performance, or are mention in passing, or may even be fictitious, given their perchance to exaggerate.
