3. Unchain My Heart / Sorry Seems To Be The Hardest Word
Talk about a deep cut! Performing this Joe Cocker hit with Cocker-esque mannerisms, as well as mashing in Elton John‘s emotional ballad, all while when Australia was on the verge of a tax system overhaul that no-one wanted (the beginning of the GST). Plus, McDermott poking the bear at the at-the-time Liberal Government struggling to publicly apologise for Australia’s stolen generation. Talk about a range of emotions.. unchain my heart!

I love Paul McDermott and his voice is phenomenal! A performance on Good News Week that I always look up on YouTube is Elana Stone’s version of ‘Shook me all night long’. She does a short version on the accordion and a longer one with Tripod at the end. You have to fast forward through the whole episode, but it’s worth it!!
