Springsteen Plays “Don’t Hang Up” in Australia: “We come to you, embarrassed Americans tonight”

Share

Bruce Springsteen played Melbourne, Australia last night– great timing for the Boss Down Under. Springsteen, an appropriately outraged Trump critic, mocked Trump for having a phone fight with the Aussie PM. The Boss sang “Don’t Hang Up,” a 60s hit, after saying: We come to you, embarrassed Americans tonight.”

Here’s the Orlons original from 1962

Executive producer: Bernie Lowe

Support vocals: Steve Caldwell
