Eddie Perfect Takes 5 with his 'source material' songs

42 min • 27 juni 2025

Eddie Perfect has been entertaining us for years.

A star of stage and screen, he’s a writer of Broadway musicals, played Mick Holland on Offspring, and once composed a musical about Shane Warne.

Eddie’s currently starring in the titular role for another musical he wrote – Beetlejuice - and he nails it.

But for someone with such a varied life in song, I was curious about the inspirations he drew from.

Strap in for his source material, and some truly beautiful nerding out on music.

The Beach Boys - 'I Get Around'
Lauryn Hill - 'Ex-Factor'
Rage Against The Machine - 'Killing In The Name'
Ella Fitzgerald - 'Fascinating Rhythm'
Joni Mitchell - 'Both Sides, Now'
