Shut Up - The Footy's On The Radio is the name of a stand alone single by TISM. It was written as an entrant for a Triple M football competition, which it won.[1]

[edit] Song
The song revolves around the life of a man who wishes to listen to a simulcast of a football match on his radio. Throughout the track he gets increasingly frustrated with his situation as various noisy things happen around him and will not "shut up", so that he can hear. Eventually he does get to hear the game when he, himself, shuts up from yelling abuse. The song ends when a member of TISM realises there actually is a game broadcast, concluding: "There's footy on the radio? Yeah, shut up!"
[edit] Reception
The song, as its prize in the competition it was written for, was to be played throughout the football season on Triple M radio. It also received a decent amount of air time on Triple J radio. By some, the single was described simply as "commercial opportunism"[2].
