Chords for The Interview: Noel Fielding

_ Hey [E] guys, Charlotte here for [G] Blitz.
Today I'm interviewing a comedian, one half [E] of
the Goth Detectives, artist and actor, the incredible [F#] Noel Fielding.
I'm not called [F] Noel Fielding.
He's not [Bm] called Noel Fielding anymore.
Please.
I've changed my name.
What's your name?
I'm Charlotte, [G] hi.
That's my name as well now.
[A] This is Charlotte too.
Hello.
And we're going to be doing a great interview today.
We're going to be a double act, aren't we, the Charlottes?
Yes.
You have some great characters like the Hitcher and_
[C] Hulk Hragg?
[G] I'm Hulk Hragg.
I was going to ask you to do that but you just brought it up.
The Moon.
_ [G] I like those people but I don't know like myself.
Reality man, but that's Richard.
[E] Fantasy man.
Oh yeah, Richard [B] Iwate.
Do you know him?
Yeah, I wish I knew him.
He's [A] amazing.
But we were hoping that you could [Am] bring one of [D] those characters or a new character to Blitz today.
To Blitz?
Okay.
My [C#] friend Jeeves has brought some paint [Dm] and we were hoping you could use his face as a blank [F#] canvas.
So Noel, [B] your comedy stand-up [G] show is being shown [F#] [F] at the Sydney Comedy Festival.
Can you give [A#] us a couple of words that [G] describe it?
_ _ [A] _ _ _ Not really.
Okay.
It's quite a complicated show.
There's [E] sort of stand-up in it, there's sketches in it, there's music in it, there's [Bm] animation in it.
I take someone from the [Em] audience and put them in an animation.
[F#] My brother's in it, Mabu, the enigma.
_ _ The Moon's got a dark side.
_ _ _ _ [F] Okay. _
He speaks like that, hello, I'm the [G] dark side of the Moon.
And then [E] the Moon doesn't really [Dm] know that it's his dark side.
He goes, no, he's not.
I don't know if I have to explain to him, no, it's part of me.
So [B] you're sort of the teaching character of the dark side.
[A] No, it's Bobby Pippel.
You have helped [G] other comedians like Paul Foot, for example, he's coming down.
I had to help [F] him, he was struggling.
[G] Heard it here first.
He's amazing, Paul Foot.
[A] He didn't need much help, I just directed him.
[Bm] He's one of the best staff I've ever [F] seen.
So will you be seeing [B] him?
He's coming down to the Comedy Festival.
I think [F] we'll probably go for afternoon tea, that's what we do in Ingram.
[Dm] No, [D] hello, it's Paul, let's go for [G] afternoon tea.
We have cake and [A] tea and pecan sandwiches.
So a high tea.
Yeah, high tea.
Is there anyone else that you're hoping to see in the [E] Comedy Festival?
Tony [Am] Law, Tony Law's really good.
Have you seen him?
I haven't.
[G] Tony Law, _ [A] Canadian, big, looks like a Viking.
James Acaster, [F#] he's another really good one.
Oh yeah, yeah.
You should go and see him.
I'm just giving you tips now for English [G] comedians.
I want to go and see Sam Simmons, I think I'm getting on side with it.
So we were hoping to do a couple of [A] quickfire questions.
[D] If you were an elephant, [G] would you rather play [D] hopscotch or jump rope?
_ [E] _ I'm [Bm] like skipping.
_ _ Oh, hopscotch.
[Dm] _ Wow, [G] look at you, judging.
[Dm] A little bit.
Okay.
[G] Have I said the wrong thing?
[B] There's no wrong answers here.
We're all [E] friends here.
And what type of [G] vegetable would you aspire to be?
[N] Courgette, but you call them zucchini, right?
Zucchini's here.
Yeah, courgette, [G] yeah.
And why's that?
I don't know, I just like the way they are.
I like the way they are, the way they [A#m] go about town.
[B] So would you like to describe this character [G] to us?
Dr. Stipple.
I love it.
Dr.
Stipple.
[B] He's a suro painting.
Come to life.
What would you say helped find your [A] comedic voice?
Would you say that meeting people kind of like [Gm] them sort of had an effect [A] on_
I think when I started, none of [G] those people were going.
But now that [A#] you've matured and your creative process has changed_ Yeah.
_ _ [F#] What, have they helped me?
Yeah, have they [G] influenced you in any of [F] your skits?
Maybe not, but you know, who influenced [F] me?
Spike Milligan, Monty Python, [E] The Goodies, [G] _ _ Vic and Bob.
Do you know Vic and Bob?
Did you get Vic and Bob in here?
Vic [C] Reed.
I think I was too young for that.
How old are you?
Five.
Just seven and a half.
_ Who else? _ _
[F#] _ Yeah, I don't [A#] know.
Peter Cook.
Cool.
[Bm] [B] Already.
Barry Humphries.
I like Barry Humphries.
Yeah, amazing.
[G#m] I won the Barry Award and I said to Barry Humphries, we won the [B] Barry Award.
And he went, is there such a thing?
And now he knows.
Yeah.
[D] Alrighty, so that's all we've got time for today.
Thank you so much for taking time.
I'm sorry.
That's okay.
Now play some back.
