It's All Gone Pete Tong
It's All Gone Pete Tong is a 2004 British-Canadian mockumentary-drama film about a DJ who goes completely deaf. The title uses a rhyming slang phrase used in Britain from the 1980s, referring to the BBC Radio 1 DJ Pete Tong who cameos in the film. English singer Gary Haisman was behind the popular clubbing phrase "It’s all gone Pete Tong," which later inspired the title of the film.
"[Attempting to perform a set at a club only to have the crowd boo and throw bottles at him, so he then proceeds to throw the mixing equipment off the stage with the crowd cheering and security then wrangles him off] Off! Off! Off! Off! Let go, fuckers! Fuckers! Fucking fuckers!"
It's All Gone Pete Tong"Thank you, thank you, thank you. You are my god. My inspiration, my everything."
It's All Gone Pete Tong"[In his backyard in his bathrobe] Fucking come on, then! [Coke badger shovels a load of cocaine into his face and he breathes in deeply]"
It's All Gone Pete Tong"[The Coke Badger arrives to Frankie in bed glossolalicaning] Hi. Im actually thinking about giving it a bit of a break. Of course I fucking love you. How can you say that? I just think we dont necessarily bring out the best in each other. Not always the best thing for me. Its my problem. Its not your problem. You know what I mean? Why cant we just be mates for a little bit? I could just give you a ring every few weeks, you know? Just make it a little bit more casual. Couldnt we do that? [Coke Badger then ferociously attacks Frankie who then ravenously snorts coke, then they cuddle in bed]"
It's All Gone Pete Tong"And did I fuck her? Yeah. Yeah, I fucked her."
It's All Gone Pete Tong"It wasnt pretty, but, you know, for me for someone that has gone through something like that to still get up there and give it a go, is a big thing."
It's All Gone Pete Tong"It was massive. Come out of car windows, in the supermarket. Even my grandmother would whistle that tune when I went to see her in the nursing home. Frankie met Sonya when they were on the video shoot to "Rise Again."
It's All Gone Pete Tong"Legend has it that Franks problems started undramatically. It was the simplest thing that kicked it off. It was years and years of noise was the basis of the problem. But the very beginnings of it, in his life, started very plainly. Frankies problem was quite a common problem amongst DJs an occupational hazard. They work in the clubs. The noise just takes its toll."
It's All Gone Pete Tong"Fair play to the guy. I have no idea what I would have done in that situation. I mean, there he is. You know, hes between a rock, and you know, another rock, which is harder and bigger."
It's All Gone Pete Tong"Well, denial is a river in Frank, and it runs deep. And his sets were shambolic on times. Clearly, could only be the work of a man who couldnt hear."
It's All Gone Pete Tong"Hes on a different level now, how he listens, how he plays records."
It's All Gone Pete Tong"[Being swarmed by bikini clad nubiles in a boat stateroom with Max watching with perverse pleasure] I love you, Max!"
