Aussie musician Kirin J Callinan has responded with some fiery words after talk-show host Jimmy Fallon poked fun at his collaborative song with Jimmy Barnes on The Tonight Show.
Fallon insulted Callinan’s track ‘Big Enough’ on his ‘Do Not Play’ segment overnight, pulling a sour face to the much-memed Jimmy Barnes screams that feature on the song.
In response, Callinan has released a statement telling Fallon to “show some dog gamn respect”.
“Beloved Mr. Fallon, do I detect an air of cynicism? An ounce of ignorance? A shroud of idiocy &/or a complete lack o conceptual & cultural understanding?” he writes.
“Show some dog gamn respect.
“Whilst it might be fun to sit on your TV throne in the land o make believe n believe u can b’little the little fella; truth is you’ve less made a mockery of me, more shown your inexcusable ignorance &, in the process, insulted a nation.
“This won’t be the last you hear from the unrelenting blizzard that is the ice cold wrath o the land down under.”
Jimmy Barnes is yet to publicly respond to Fallon’s use of ‘Big Enough’, but if he does we’re really hoping he screams it at the top of his voice. (UPDATE: Jimmy Barnes has now responded to Music Feeds‘ story, saying: “I’m with you Kirin. I think you are a very talented young man. Tell Jimmy if he’s not careful we will move next door to him.”)
I’m with you Kirin. I think you are a very talented young man. Tell Jimmy if he’s not careful we will move next door to him. https://t.co/KtmmVABW4Y
