The song we parodied was "Freaks" by Timmy Trumpet (Aussie DJ). The week we made the video, that song had been played over and over on local Brisbane stations. I play trombone, so I had a go at playing the hook while Toby searched the kitchen for the classic doof-doof sound. Pots & pans just didn't cut it, so he tried the oven door...

My son actually cooked dinner tonight; we ate just 30 minutes ago. He made a mixture of chicken, pasta, bacon & egg sauce.

We can't remember whether it was our 4th or 5th take. I cracked one note real bad the first time, then the trays inside the oven rattled loudly on another take. We're glad it took us a few goes, because on the last one, Toby decided to end with this sudden head-flick, and it became our favourite part of the clip :)

In the first month of the video going viral, sure (November 2014). The Ellen Show phoned us, morning TV in Australia filmed live from our kitchen, TFI Friday in London filmed live from our kitchen... we still get recognised occasionally, but the 'oven kid' has just started hitting his growth spurt, so in another year, he won't look much like the kid in the video.

No, 'Mama' was sitting on the lounge chair laughing at us. My daughter Jessica filmed the duet on her Canon.
