Perico have been quick to take credit for the massive election loss for John Howard on the weekend, claiming their relentless 3 year campaign had "really started to bite".Speaking from the election tally room in Canberra on Saturday night, Perico drummer Col Robertson, a hard Labor man, said that Perico's hit song "Johnny" really proved the power of music, demonstrating how a simple idea can eventually turn the tide.
"We've been playing the song now for almost three years, and it seemed that every time we played it, the polls went down for Howard. I guess I was a little surprised at how well it worked, though."
The song, written and sung by Tim 'rebel' Gartland, has devastating lyrics that refer to not only Howard, but Peter Reith and Phillip Ruddock. The song has now managed to knock two of those three out of public office.
"Watch out Phillip Ruddock, I say." said Col.
