0:18, and here we see the mighty Australian in its natural habitat, It's a glorious creature of great ability to embrace the bullshit and kill those mofookin emus
"Smoko" is a slang term used primarily in Australia and New Zealand to refer to a short work break, typically taken by laborers or workers in blue-collar industries. It's similar to a coffee break or tea break, where workers take a brief pause from their tasks to have a snack, smoke a cigarette, or simply relax for a few minutes. The term "smoko" originally referred to a smoke break, but over time it has come to encompass any type of short rest break, regardless of whether smoking is involved.
We listen to this song on our smoke breaks all the time here in the southwestern USA. This song is way too relatable because those smoke breaks on overnight construction shifts are serious business! My band was playing a show in Tucson, AZ on the same night that The Chats were playing Phoenix and we joked about skipping our show to go see them play!
Saw this randomly when it first came out, never in my wildest dreams did I think I'd come back to 20+ million views, that's just wild and very deserved.
Goabnb94 yeah u really had to read the fine print there. I like artists barely hint at a soubtle meaning and you have to really pay attention ro get the point
I work in construction and I just discovered this song on my lunch break. Been feeling nostalgic and listening to old school punk all morning.. The guy I'm installing a front door for showed up and started talking my ear off 5 seconds after the song ended.. IM ON SMOKO, LEAVE ME ALONE!
My 2 sons age 4 and 6 love this song but they think it's "I wanna snowcone so leave me alone" they jump round bonkers to it! I'll tell them when they are older
@@embryonic7692 Smoko is usually 'morning tea' or your first 15 minute break of the work day. Usually have your boss come up and talk shit about what you have to do once you finish your smoko. Hence the song mate.
So let me set the scene It's 2 in the afternoon and 34 degrees The Queensland harsh summer heat Had me sweating buckets up and down my street It was there I spotted the bloke Perched atop of his milk crate throne He eyed me off as I approached Then he said I'm on Smoko, so leave me alone I'm on Smoko, so leave me alone I'm on Smoko, so leave me alone I'm on Smoko, so leave me alone I'm on Smoko, so leave me alone I'm on Smoko, so leave me alone I'm on Smoko, so leave me alone I'm on Smoko, so leave me alone So it's Tuesday Morning and my Centrelink hasn't come through So I pick up the phone because I've got some abusing to do But all I get is elevator music Waiting on the line On hold all the time All I get is elevator music Waiting on the line 'Til I get a reply I'm on Smoko, so leave me alone I'm on Smoko, so leave me alone I'm on Smoko, so leave me alone I'm on Smoko, so leave me alone Argh, ah what time is it? Is it Smoko? I'm on Smoko, so leave me alone I'm on Smoko, so leave me alone I'm on Smoko, so leave me alone I'm on Smoko, so leave me alone I'm on Smoko I'm on Smoko, so leave me alone I'm on Smoko, so leave me alone

The Chats are Australia's premier cultural ambassadors. Not only have I learned about the "smoko" smoke break but also how government assistance payments work down under.
I bloody love you guys!!! I've sent smoko to heaps of people! In Forbes I think it went viral I really want to see you guys live! Keep up the fab work You are all legends ❤
As someone who has been playing THPS4 non stop recently, I couldn't agree more. lol a little silly and a little serious punk vibes are a go to for a good pro skaters Playlist
Dain-ja! Dain-ja! These boys may look young, but they are full of energy & post adolescent aggression. Betta not let ur mums get their wrinkly old ear drums too close to these wild young blokes
