Episode description
Eddie Perfect has been entertaining us for years.
A star of stage and screen, he’s a writer of Broadway musicals, played Mick Holland on Offspring, and once composed a musical about Shane Warne.
Eddie’s currently starring in the titular role for another musical he wrote – Beetlejuice - and he nails it.
But for someone with such a varied life in song, I was curious about the inspirations he drew from.
Strap in for his source material, and some truly beautiful nerding out on music.
- The Beach Boys - 'I Get Around'
- Lauryn Hill - 'Ex-Factor'
- Rage Against The Machine - 'Killing In The Name'
- Ella Fitzgerald - 'Fascinating Rhythm'
- Joni Mitchell - 'Both Sides, Now'
