Hip, hip, parade and happy birthday

for the super smooth, Tim Booth!

Here we go.

All right, happy birthday to you.

Happy birthday, Kate. I'm sorry. Kate, please, where's the caterpillar cake? Get out of the fridge, please, since you can. And mate, happy birthday. Thanks for what you just did. Oh, that's beautiful. It's fine. How do you decide? When do you decide what version of the songs to play? Because you were changing it the whole time just before you went on there.

Yeah, just a few minutes before. We wanted to get some variety in tempo between the two songs. So it was like, okay, that one's slower, that one faster. You know people are in tears on the way to work. Yeah, they say, where was the mascara warning? We didn't know you needed one. we weren't sure

what version we were going to get.

So last year, smash it,

smash it. was the mascara warning. We didn't know you needed one. We weren't, you know, we weren't sure what version we were going to get.

So last year, smashing the live music last year in North America, tell us about that.

We did the Lay tour. So we did that whole album, recreated. And then we changed it around because we couldn't, we can't stick with the same thing.

We changed the set every night.

So we kind of mixed it in with a whole load of other songs. Had an amazing time, really beautiful. You ended up splitting it into two, didn't you? Yeah, yeah, we had a little interful. That's cool, man. Well, it was cool. We had to then maintain it. If the first half was really good, you then have to be backstage, keeping yourself pumped up.

So you had a half time.
