The clientele that frequents the local haunts of Penrith are if nothing else a unique bunch. I'm not going to sit here and talk down on Penrith or it's people. I live much closer to Mt Druitt and I think the key difference between the two is that people in areas like Mt Druitt know they live in Western Sydney where as Penrith people equate themselves with the more cultured folk who enjoy deep dish pies in the Blue Mountains after a mid morning bush walk.
One thing I know for sure is that Penrith shares special relationships with certain songs. Certain songs that establish themselves as anthems of Phriction, Embassy, Panthers, any RSL game enough to sort out the fights that will result from hosting a disco night.
Many will scoff at the notion of "Zombie Nation" being a Penrith anthem but I've been sober and seen the way it throws Penrith crowds into a frenzy. Equally I've been drunk and struggled against the hypnosis.
So what's the latest track that sends the Penrith faithful into raptures of awkward, Xtra Dry spilling, uncontrollable foot movements....
All I'll say is... "Everyday I'm shuffling"
If you can think of any other Penrith anthems, don't be shy to share em'.
