The Whitlams Black Stump refashions Tim Freedman’s biggest hit as a three minute slice of banjo heaven - “No Aphrodisiac”, the ARIA Song of the Year in 1998, and JJJ Hottest 100 No. 1 has a new sound, as a seductive piece of Americana.

In 1999 The Whitlams shot the music video for “Blow Up the Pokies” at an empty, dilapidated theatre in Woolloongabba. That theatre has been recently restored and Brisbane is now blessed with the 500 seater hosting gigs once more.

The Whitlams Black Stump returned to the charming Princess Theatre to play its final show of the recent Big City Debut tour in April 2023. The video for the single was filmed during that performance. It is a love song to the Princess Theatre, a love song to the joys of attending shows, and a snapshot of camaraderie on the road.

LYRICS

A letter to you on a cassette
‘Cause we don't write anymore
Gotta make it up quickly -
There’s people asleep on the second floor

There's no aphrodisiac like loneliness
Truth beauty and a picture of you

You'll be walking your dog in a few hours
I'll be asleep in my brother’s house
You're a thousand miles away
With food between your teeth
Come up for summer I've got a place near the beach
There's room for your dog

There's no aphrodisiac like loneliness
Truth beauty and a picture of you

There's no aphrodisiac like loneliness
Truth youth beauty fame boredom and a bottle of pills

There's no aphrodisiac like loneliness
You shouldn't leave me alone
There's no aphrodisiac like loneliness
Bare feet like a tom-boy and a crooked smile
Truth youth beauty fame boredom red hair no hair innocence Saturday and a picture of you
Truth youth beauty fame boredom red hair no hair awkwardness impunity and a picture of you

There's no aphrodisiac like loneliness
Bare feet like a tom-boy and a crooked smile

Forty shaved sexy wants to do it all day
With a gun-totin’ trigger-happy missy named Kinky Renée
Truth youth beauty fame boredom red hair no hair awkwardness and a picture of you
