Written by Pauly Fuemana and Alan Jansson and performed by OMC - Otara Millionaire’s Club – ‘How Bizarre’ was released in 1995 as the hit of the summer.
Reb’s version will be the anthem of our winter; a poignant retelling that shares this iconic track in a whole new light.

lyrics
Brother Pele's in the back
Sweet Zina's in the front
Cruisin' down the freeway in the hot, hot sun
Suddenly red-blue lights flash us from behind
Loud voice booming
"Please step out onto the line"
Pele preaches words of comfort
Zina hides her eyes
Policeman taps his shades
"Is that a Chevy '69?"
How bizarre
Destination unknown as we pull in for some gas
A freshly pasted poster reveals a smile from the past
Elephants and acrobats, lions, snakes, monkeys
Pele speaks "righteous," Sister Zina says "funky"
How bizarre
Ooh, baby
It's making me crazy
Every time I look around
Every time I look around
Every time I look around
It's in my face
Ringmaster steps out, says "The elephants left town"
People jump and jive and the clowns have stuck around
TV news and cameras, there's choppers in the sky
Marines, police, reporters ask where, for and why
Pele yells, "We're outta here," Zina says, "Right on"
Making moves and starting grooves before they knew we’re gone
Jumped into the Chevy, headed for big lights
Wanna know the rest? Hey, buy the rights
How bizarre
Ooh, baby
It's making me crazy
Every time I look around
Every time I look around
Every time I look around
It's in my face
It's in my face
Ooh, baby
It's making me crazy
Every time I look around
Every time I look around
Every time I look around
It's in my face
Ooh, baby
It's making me crazy
Every time I look around
Every time I look around
Every time I look around
It's in my face
Sweet Zina's in the front
Cruisin' down the freeway in the hot, hot sun
Suddenly red-blue lights flash us from behind
Loud voice booming
"Please step out onto the line"
Pele preaches words of comfort
Zina hides her eyes
Policeman taps his shades
"Is that a Chevy '69?"
How bizarre
Destination unknown as we pull in for some gas
A freshly pasted poster reveals a smile from the past
Elephants and acrobats, lions, snakes, monkeys
Pele speaks "righteous," Sister Zina says "funky"
How bizarre
Ooh, baby
It's making me crazy
Every time I look around
Every time I look around
Every time I look around
It's in my face
Ringmaster steps out, says "The elephants left town"
People jump and jive and the clowns have stuck around
TV news and cameras, there's choppers in the sky
Marines, police, reporters ask where, for and why
Pele yells, "We're outta here," Zina says, "Right on"
Making moves and starting grooves before they knew we’re gone
Jumped into the Chevy, headed for big lights
Wanna know the rest? Hey, buy the rights
How bizarre
Ooh, baby
It's making me crazy
Every time I look around
Every time I look around
Every time I look around
It's in my face
It's in my face
Ooh, baby
It's making me crazy
Every time I look around
Every time I look around
Every time I look around
It's in my face
Ooh, baby
It's making me crazy
Every time I look around
Every time I look around
Every time I look around
It's in my face

about
reb fountain Auckland, New Zealand
"I watched Reb Fountain last Saturday, prowling across the stage like Patti Smith and Cat Power
one- minute, Nick
Cave living his best life the next. Reb was a revelation. I could have watched
that show on any stage in the world – and Reb would have deserved to be there.” (Stuff NZ).
