Pop Goes the Weasel was C4's twisted answer to iconic British pop quiz Never Mind the Buzzcocks, embracing a shambolic DIY approach with oversized props, lots of ribbing and an oiled up man in tights (the Weasel) handling the judging. It's fair to say that not every joke has aged well. This trans-Tasman stoush pits a young Dai Henwood and Evan Short from Concord Dawn, against Scott Owen from The Living End and a DJ called 'the Doctor'. Overseeing it all is quizmistress supreme, Jaquie Brown. Director Toa Fraser pops by to embarrass Henwood with a prank call.

David Parker was a key player (and lead vocalist) in late 80s band band Rhythm Cage, whose recording output was limited to three singles. After the band's demise, two singles released under the name The Parker Project showcased Parker's smooth vocals. The first — a cover of 70s soul single 'Tears on My Pillow', by American Johnny Nash — topped the Kiwi singles charts in June 1991. Second single 'Looking for the Real Thing' followed later that year. Since 2008, Parker has been a member of genre-bending ukelele trio The Nukes, who have released three albums to date.     

In 1991 Push Push’s 'Trippin' reign at the top of the charts was ended by a synth-reggae cover of Johnny Nash soul song ‘Tears on my Pillow’. The number one debut from The Parker Project was followed by this single, also released on Trevor Reekie's Pagan label. It made it to number 24 in the charts. The video, directed by Peter Cathro (I Love My Leather Jacket), was from the first year of NZ On Air funded music videos. It cuts between black and white shots of the singer making his way to an Auckland school hall, and colour images of him singing with the backing of a Samoan choir.
