I only look worse because my sister is the best in the world at it and she is super organised
0:06
My family are very loving and patient and they understand it. I'm on a different time zone
0:15
Kylie Manogue, welcome to Heart's Evening Show. How are you? Good Dev, how are you
0:19
It's very festive in here right now. You just amped up. Well, to be fair, we both just amped it up
0:26
Just cranked up the Christmas a little bit. Can I describe your look right now? Yeah, go ahead. It's..
0:30
Don't laugh. No, it's so cute. I love it. You've got two sparkly Christmas trees
0:38
I kind of look like kitten ears on a headband. Very, very cute. It's a good look, isn't it
0:42
I'm just draped in tinsel. Kylie's wrapped fully up in tinsel. Fully wrapped
0:46
That's why you can hear that on the microphone. And also, didn't arrive empty-handed brought me a little..
0:51
I feel bad now because I didn't get you a gift, Kylie. You are my gift. Don't worry. I didn't buy you anything
0:55
I am, I know. I'm a little bit of a gift. I imagine that you're quite a hard person to buy presents for
1:01
Is there like a go-to that somebody can get you that's like sort of a surefire
1:05
Like I'm at that stage in my life. If you get me anything from Aesop or a gilet
1:09
I think I'm about to enter my gilet phase, I'd be happy. But you won't turn back from the gilet phase
1:14
That takes care of so many things. For me, maybe like a good notebook
1:21
Just a notebook. I really like having a pen and paper in my bag. Of course you're a creative person
1:25
You've got to write ideas down all the time. And I'm a compulsive doodler. Oh. Yeah
1:29
What's your go-to doodle? I like trying to achieve the perfect circle
1:35
Either as a circle. Show me right now, please. Someone put a bit of paper in front of a camera
1:39
Well, I like to do it with a Sharpie. I want to see a... Oh, we need to do it with a Sharpie as well
1:42
I want to see how good you are at this. I'm not going to get the perfect circle. Hang on. So, my..
1:47
I would either do, like, lots of circles or tend to do this a lot
1:53
That is fascinating. I wonder what that means. Oh, like smiley hearts
1:57
They're always pretty joyful things. I'm going to get those ysed afterwards, by the way
2:03
just for me. It's not my best work. The thing is you can't do it under pressure
2:07
It's got to be like a subliminal kind of thing. Ah, yeah
2:12
Everybody was watching you whilst you were doing that. That's quite a lot. Pressure. Are you also super organised for Christmas
2:18
You come across as one of those people who are like, oh, I finished all my Christmas shopping in August. No, I've just given you the illusion that I'm very organised
2:25
with a party pack of things. But my family are very loving and patient
2:33
and they understand that I'm on a different time zone. And I only look worse because my sister is the best in the world at it
2:43
and she is super organised. And I think they all just given up on me They like maybe we didn get get the present now but something will come later Or you could consider that it came in advance
2:57
But I'm not very organised on the day. Well, I think you've definitely made up for it
3:01
not just by the goodie bag that you've brought me, but you have a brand new Christmas single out this year, XMAS
3:06
Yes. Quite tricky writing a good Christmas song, isn't it? Because the bar is already so high
3:12
It's a great challenge. It's an enjoyable challenge. and then it's like, do we need more bells
3:19
Have we gone overboard on the bells? Is it time for a chime
3:25
Some horse galloping at the end? Does it need it? I mean, we went very random on one of the songs
3:32
Office Party, and have the photocopy machine at the end of it
3:37
which there was a lot of laughs in the studio that day
3:41
and we put the photocopy machine sound at the end of the song
3:48
just for us as a laugh and went, well, that's funny, and delivered the song like that
3:53
And I swear to you, I kept thinking the inbox is going to ding
4:00
with like, bing. Yeah, we really, we dig the song. We like Office Party, but we're just not sure about the sound effect
4:08
Why? No, it never came. So it stayed. So we've got bells, chimes and a photocopy machine
4:15
I also feel like, is there like an entire generation of people under 25 that are not going to get the reference
4:21
I almost went to that. They're like, what do you mean? Because now it's phones
4:28
You can get into all sorts of trouble with those. But back in the day at the office party
4:33
which that's the other point I have never been to, like a traditional, I've never worked in an office
4:40
The only job I had aside from doing what I do was at the video store
4:44
which again, if you're under 25, the video store was really important
4:49
You used to work at a blockbuster? Well, I wasn't part of the big league
4:53
It wasn't part of the chain. It was literally like 100 metres from my house
4:58
And I think I worked one or two days and I gave out too much change
5:03
I don't know if I got the sack or it wasn't for me
5:07
I think I gave, like, again, cash. I just gave someone too much and this honest person came back
5:15
and said, I'm sorry, I think you've given me. I was probably about 15. So, yeah, back to the office party back in the day for the uninitiated
5:23
and those who never really experienced it. So it's a bit of a fantasy situation for me
5:29
And correct me if I'm wrong, listeners out there, who's let us know about your office party
5:35
there's the water cooler moment there like who having a tryst what went down at the office party You know the truth bubbles What the tea And who going to do something stupid on the photocopy machine
5:54
Well, we've got a bit of a tradition on this show, right? It's called Go To Bed
5:58
It's where I get to send the nation's kids off to bed once and for all
6:02
And I'm quite a creative person. I'm not just good on the radio, Kylie. I'm also pretty good at making songs
6:07
Okay. Most of them are Dev Griffin originals. But I've sort of taken the liberty of remixing your new single
6:14
to feature as tonight's Go To Bed song. Yeah. Can I perform it for you
6:20
Can you please? And then if you feel like it, you can join in
6:24
Okay. Okay, I've just got to find my note. Ba, ba, ba, ba, ba
6:28
No, no, no, no. Do you mind? Ba, ba, ba. It's so weird performing in front of your song in front of you
6:38
Okay. I was about to do that. I'm asleep. Sorry. Go to someone like this
6:47
A one, a two, a one. It's time for you to S-L-E-E-P
6:52
S-L-E-E-P. It's time for you to S-L-E-E-P. S-L-E-E-P. Yeah, it's time for you to S-L-E-E-P
7:03
S-L-E-E-P. It's time for you to S-L-E-E-P. S-L-E-E-P Go to bed Oh my goodness
7:14
I only just split to an octave at the end Kylie that went so much better than I pictured it in my brain
7:22
I thought you were going to leave I thought you were going to get upset I thought you were going to say that I was flat
7:27
That's the remix right there It's time for you to S-L-E-E-P Go to bed
7:33
I like the da-da-da at the end Thank you Sorry, I'm actually geeking out on that
7:39
That is a bucket list tick for me. It's a banger. Kylie, last time you were here
7:46
it was actually this time last year, you told us something that I've not been able to stop thinking about
7:50
No, what did I say? Refresh your memory a little quick. Would you like to star in a big Christmas movie
7:55
Yes, I would. You've asked me and I'm just... That would be amazing
8:00
Home Alone 5. We can all do it. So I assume since you announced that
8:04
you've been inundated with emails from Hollywood going, Kylie, we'd love to have you in a Christmas film
8:09
I could barely get through the door. No, but then I didn't know I'd be doing a Christmas album this year
8:16
So it just kind of came a different way. Well, I don't know if you noticed or not
8:20
Kylie, I've got connections, okay? I actually had a dinner party where I sat next to the guy
8:24
who came up with the phrase straight to DVD. So yeah, pretty big time
8:30
So I thought what we could do we could do a little live audition right now from one of my favourite Christmas films Send it off to a Hollywood producer This time next year get you in a Christmas film
8:42
So I've picked a scene from one of my favourite Christmas films. It's Die Hard
8:46
You're going to be playing the role of Hans Gruber, who is sort of the villain
8:51
And I hope you don't mind. I've taken a few creative liberties. I've edited the script ever so slightly
8:58
You are a true creative. I've edited the script to include titles of your songs
9:02
But do you know what? You're barely going to notice, Kylie, OK? It's barely going to have any effect on it
9:07
OK, so the scene is Hans Gruber. I'm playing John McClane, obviously
9:13
So, Kylie, when are you ready? I assume you are our mystery party crusher
9:17
Wow, you are troublesome for a security guard. Sorry, Hans. Wrong guess
9:23
Would you like to go for Double Jeopardy? I should be so lucky
9:27
Who are you then? I'm just the slow, fly an ointment, Hans
9:32
The monkey in the wrench, spinning around. The pain in the bum
9:36
Check on all the others. Don't use the radio, see if he's lying about all the lovers
9:40
And find out if anyone else is dancing. Mr. Mystery Guests, are you still there
9:47
I can't get you out of my head. Yeah, I'm still here. Unless you want to come into my world
9:52
No, I'm afraid not. But you have me at a loss. I am shocked
9:56
You know, I'm a red-blooded woman, but who are you? Just another padam-padam who saw too many movies as a kid
10:05
Plural S. As with the other kids, let's say. Another orphan of a bankrupt culture who thinks he's John Wayne, Rambo
10:14
or some sort of locomotion. You can confide in me. On a night like this, I was always partial to Roy Rogers, actually
10:22
I wouldn't change a thing. Better the devil you know, right? Do you really think you have a chance against us, Mr. Cowboy
10:31
Get out of my way. X-M-A-S. Scene. Kylie, if that doesn't get us some sort of franchise deal
10:40
I don't know what genre it is. It's all of them. It's all over the place, but I loved it
10:45
Kylie, that is a highlight of my year, maybe even my decade
10:50
Thank you so much for coming to see us. Dev, we're sharing the poster. It's a shared bill
10:56
100%. I see Leicester Square. Yep. Yep. Premier. Yeah. Book deal. Action figures
11:04
Oh, we've got so much to talk about, Kylie. Yeah. It only makes sense to play this, though
11:08
This is Kylie Minogue on Hearts of XMAS. Thank you, Kylie. Thank you
11:13
That was bonkers. Thank you so much, Kylie. I had no idea what I was reading
