[A] Her the most successful [B] British female artist of [Dm] the [Am] 80s
[G]
Do [F]
[N] you want to do a duet?
No, I'm sure Kim doesn't want to do a duet.
Kim Wilde, welcome to Australia.
I'm so happy to be back.
I can't even begin to tell you.
Oh, it's great to have you here.
Your songs, as Mike has just shown, singing along to all of them,
are as popular now, 30 years on.
That must give you a kick.
But, do you ever get tired of [Ab] playing them?
No, I love playing them.
Especially as I've got older,
the fact that there are people out there having so much fun still with my music,
it's pretty awesome to me.
I really appreciate it.
I think more now, [Bb] probably, than I did back in the [Cm] 80s.
So, yeah, I love it.
I love to see the reaction as soon as the pulse starts on Kids in America.
And it's kind of like a tsunami,
and you can see the audience suddenly go completely [Bb] bonkers.
And you're thinking, [C] what are you doing?
We did this [Ab] 35 years ago, didn't we?
[Bb] You've got it.
You were lamenting about [F] some of those hairstyles from back in the 80s,
as we all do [C] when we see those photos.
But you took a break from performing.
You got married, started a family,
and then you became an award-winning [Bb] gardener.
What brought you back to music?
[E] What brought me back to music?
The passion for it that hasn't gone.
I mean, it's still really there.
I love singing.
The children were a little bit older.
I'm still a very passionate gardener.
It's a big, big part of my life.
I'm involved in [B] a community [E] garden project back in the UK,
propagating plants, working with them all the time.
So [Ab] it's not like music has come back
and shoved gardening out of the way.
They work together.
How fabulous!
Yeah, it's [Em] really great.
I'm going to see Graham later on as well.
We're going to have a little chat about our gardens and stuff.
I'm very excited about that.
I love that.
So rock and roll.
You love gardening too.
But gardening's the new rock and roll.
[F] We have a very famous Australian gardener on later in the show.
So hang around and meet Paul Bangay.
Because yes, it is the new rock and [E] roll.
He'll agree.
When we were just watching that story,
you were talking about your hairdos.
You were so defined, well known for the mullet.
You were an icon of the 80s.
You know why I did that mullet thing?
Because I saw [F] a great picture of Linda McCartney
on the back of a [G] Wings album.
And she had a mullet.
So it wasn't an Oz Stewart.
It wasn't anybody else, although Rod had something to do with it.
I went to the hairdressers with a picture of Linda.
I said, I want to look like [C] her.
And then Debbie Harry came along.
I [G] thought, I'll go blonde.
Mousy [Gbm] was a little bit dreary for me at that time.
[E] And then, yeah, so that's [Bm] where the hair came from.
And then I used to cut it [Gbm] myself.
Really?
[E] Just to get the scissors and [D] have a good old chop at [Gb] the top there.
[Em] And yeah, so things have changed.
And the whole world copied you.
Including me with the mullet.
Did you do the mullet thing?
Yeah, I had great mullet hair.
Big, yeah, lots of hairspray.
You're really struggling with that one.
Just quickly, you're [Gb] obviously English.
Why Kids in America?
Where did that come from?
Well, Kids in America was written by my father, Marty,
rock and roller, and my brother, Ricky,
who's here with me in Australia.
And he was brought up on American culture.
He wanted to be Elvis Presley.
He ended up being a great, I mean, he's a great rock and roll star.
In fact, he's on tour now.
In the UK.
At 76 years old.
And so it was [N] kind of very influenced by,
you know, just everyone seemed to be having a much better time in America.
Why not write about them?
But I agree, it was confusing,
because I was from the home counties in England.
Well, Kim, thank you for all those songs.
Kind of defined our generation, my generation.
Are you going to come to the Enmore tonight and see me?
I would love to.
You're on the guest list.
Do you mind if Mike and Britta, our sports guy,
come and stand up in front of us?
You want to come too?
Yeah, we're there.
You can all come.
It's great to see you, Kim Wild.
She is on tour with [E] Howard Jones.
Head to the Sunrise website for all the tour dates.
She's at the Enmore in Sydney tonight.
