John Safran (born 13 August 1972) is an Australian radio personality, satirist, documentary maker and author, known for combining humour with explorations into religion and other issues. His more famous television segments include turning the tables on tabloid current affairs host Ray Martin by arriving unannounced at his house in John Safran: Media Tycoon (an early pilot for a TV series), having a fatwa temporarily placed on Rove McManus to satirize the fatwa process and sneaking nine young men into an exclusive Melbournenightclub by disguising them as members of American nu metal band Slipknot.
Early life
Safran was born in Melbourne. He attended North Balwyn Primary School, Balwyn High School and Yeshivah College before studying journalism at RMIT University. He eventually dropped out without completing his degree and began work in advertising for Clemenger Harvie. During this time he also worked as a copywriter for Mazda, Village Roadshow and Sea World.
In Year 12 he formed the hip-hop group Raspberry Cordial with his friend Chris Lumsden. They played to some success, receiving high rotation airplay on the city's community radio, playing many gigs in Melbourne and coming second in the RMITBattle of the Bands competition. Their debut album was Melbourne Tram, of which Safran apparently has hundreds of unsold cassettes in his bedroom to this day.
John Safran confronts Ray Martin in a bid to put 'the shoe on the other foot'. This video was a response to the public prosecution of the Paxton family. From John Safran's 'The Lost Pilot'. I hold no rights to this material so go and buy the DVD. It is full of best of & never seen before clips of john Safran and is excellent!

Do you really want to go down now? Do you really want to know where I've been when i go out? Can you understand what I'm feeling? And do you understand what it means, man? When you here the sound Feels just like a pleasure And when you hear the sound and you know We're coming for the sound Don't ever stop the pleasure Remember what it's like coming down And don't stop singing the song That's what we said, we said Don't ever stop the song You can never stop, singing your song Singing it loud and you're singing it long And you can never stop No, never stop, the song You don't know that sound when it feels bad. And you lost what you knew So you took what they had Now you try to take it from others But try and mess with us and you'll suffer brother! When you here the sound Feels just like a pleasure And when you hear the sound and you know We're coming for the sound Don't ever stop the pleasure Remember what it's like coming down And don't stop singing the song That's what we said, we said Don't ever stop the song You can never stop, singing your song Singing it loud and you're singing it long And you can never stop
