| Subject: Funny: Assange dons mullet wig for Farnham pitch Tue Aug 27, 2013 3:30 am | |
| Julian Assange has worn a blond mullet wig and lip-synced to John Farnham's You're The Voice as part of a tongue-in-cheek pitch to Australian voters.
The WikiLeaks founder donned the 80s-style hairpiece for Juice Rap News - a spoof internet bulletin where presenters rap the latest headlines.
When Assange - who is vying for a seat in the Australian Senate - is asked for his message to voters, he suddenly appears in the wig and mimes to a modified version of Farnham's 1986 classic.
"We gotta make things leak, so we can get much bolder," he sings.
"Ooooh we're all wire-tapped now.
"We're being fed lies.
"Not long til we get all the rats out.
"Once we turn on all the lights.
"You're the light that the world's demanding."
Earlier in the video, Assange is shown wearing a smart suit and tie.
