Record Review: “Dan on the Run” Will Be Number One With a Bullet!

Fans of “Band on the Run”, a big hit for Paul McCartney in the 70’s, will love “Dan on the Run” a fab remake by Jude and the Jailbirds.

And with rumours of Dan Andrews’s imminent departure as premier, the timing of their release is frankly uncanny!

The song begins in a melancholy mood with a band of Victorian freedom fighters lamenting their captivity in lockdown, with one of the protagonists singing:

 Stuck inside these four walls

Lockdown lasts forever

Never seeing no-one

Nice again, like you

Monica

You, Monica!

The name Monica is almost certainly a reference to the famous anti-lockdown activist and heroine Monica Smit.

Not surprisingly, the singer seems smitten by her.

Then comes the menacing sounding guitar riff, with a slight reggae feel, as the singer vows to seek justice and vengeance against his oppressor if he is ever released from lockdown:

 If I ever get out of here

Gonna make Dan Andrews pay

For all his lies and villainy

Make him face his judgement day

If I ever get out of here

(If we ever get out of here)

Then as the lockdown finally ends, or the band manage to escape to freedom, there is a jubilant key change, as the rebels join with throngs of others to march en masse on Parliament House.

Well the door exploded with a might crash

As we stormed Vic parliament!

And the first one there, into Andrew’s lair

Said “Dan has up and gone!”

And then the memorable, triumphant chorus:

Dan’s on the run, Dan on the run!

And it’s jail for Dan, no bail for Dan

When he’s brought before the court

Cause the Dan’s on the run, Dan’s on the run!

The full lyrics to the song are below, along with a karaoke version for those who want to singalong to Dan’s coming downfall!

“Dan on the Run” by Jude and the Jailbirds.

Stuck inside these four walls

Lockdown lasts forever

Never seein’ no-one

Nice again

Like you, Monica

You, Monica

 

If I ever get out of here

Gonna make Dan Andrews pay

For all his lies and villainy

Make him face his judgement day

If I ever get out of here

(If we ever get out of here)

 

Well the door exploded with a might crash

As we stormed Vic parliament!

And the first one there, into Andrew’s lair

Said “Dan has up and gone!”

 

Dan’s on the run, Dan on the run!

And it’s jail for Dan, no bail for Dan

When he’s brought before the court

 

Cause the Dan’s on the run, Dan on the run!

The Dan’s on the run, Dan on the run

 

Well the undertaker drew a heavy sigh

For all the vaxxed who had succumbed

And a bell will ring near Federation Square

For the rodent on the run

 

Dan’s on the run, Dan on the run!

And it’s jail for Dan, no bail for Dan,

When he’s hauled before the court

 

For the Dan’s on the run, Dan on the run

Yeah the Dan’s on the run, Dan on the run

Dan on the run, Dan on the run

 

Well the night was falling, as the desert world

Began to settle down

And Dan was scampering like a frightened hare

‘Cause on his heels here come the hounds!

 

Dan’s on the run, Dan on the run!

And the county judge, who held a grudge

Will slam that jailhouse door

 

For the Dan on the run, Dan on the run

Dan on the run, Dan on the run

  1. My view is that if Dan does resign shortly, there definitely is a force acting to take down these tyrants and traitors. Maybe if they resign they may have been given an undertaking that they will not be hanged.

  2. As Pauline Hanson said in her speech in the Senate today (June 19,2023) the convicts brought to Australia were the first “stolen generation”

    Who really organised the “discovery” of Australia?

    The UN was begun with Jewish money!

    W. HUGHES, Premier of Australia, Saturday Evening Post, June 19, 1919 “The Montefiores have taken Australia for their own, and there is not a gold field or a sheep run from Tasmania to New South Wales that does not pay them a heavy tribute. They are the real owners of the antipodean continent. What is the good of our being a wealthy nation, if the wealth is all in the hands of German Jews?”

    Fraser Island renamed – my deduction –
