Transcript

00:00Right. Listen, Charlene's show ends with a very affirming chorus of Ring of Fire.

00:07Yes.

00:08A song that June wrote when she was very young in the hope of earning enough money from it to buy a new couch for her slightly shabby home.

00:19And it really is a very rousing thing, partly because, yes, there is a three-piece band and yes, Charlene sings it beautifully,

00:25but the whole audience instantly joins in. So this means you. Shall we give it a go?

00:30OK.

00:32I'll sing the intro, you start singing.

00:35Da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da

00:44Love is a burning thing

00:48Money makes a fiery ring

00:53Vow of desire

00:58I fell into a ring of fire

01:01Ready?

01:02I fell into a burning ring of fire

01:06And went down, down, down

01:09And the flames grew higher

01:11They went down, down, down

01:14That ring of fire

01:16That ring of fire

01:18Woo!

01:21Oh, boy.

01:23Bravo. Thank you so much.
