Coldplay fans have hilariously compared frontman Chris Martin’s dance moves to those of an iconic Australian television character.
TikTok user Shanarah5 took to the social media platform on Tuesday. to share images of Chris47, while performing on the band’s Music of the Spheres tour.
However, instead of audio of the performance, the TikTokker played audio of a scene from the classic Australian sitcom Summer Heights High.
The original scene, which featured drama teacher Mr G (played by Chris Lilley) doing a series of strange dances, was compared to the Coldplay frontman’s moves.
“One thing I like to do from time to time is perform for the kids throughout the lesson,” Mr. G says in the video.
‘Just to give you a reference of how things are done. So they can see how someone works at a professional level in the industry.’
Fans took to the comments to show their appreciation for the clip.
“Welcome to Mr. G’s room,” one commenter wrote, while another said, “ok I’ll watch Summer Heights High again.”
Coldplay fans have hilariously compared frontman Chris Martin’s dance moves to those of an iconic Australian television character.
“Chris Martin-Lilley,” wrote another.
Someone else said: ‘OMG. Voiceover by Mr G, this is simply top-notch comedy. I swear Raygun has the same moves!’
It comes as Chris Martin had Australian fans on the edge of their seats on Sunday night when he dramatically fell through a trap door on stage.
The Coldplay frontman was performing the band’s fourth and final Melbourne date on their Music of the Spheres tour when he tripped during the sold-out show and fell in front of the packed audience at Marvel Stadium.
However, instead of the audio of the performance, the TikTokker played the sound of a scene from the classic Australian comedy Summer Heights High. The original footage showed Chris Lilley (pictured) doing a series of strange dances.
Martin was reading audience signs and walking backwards during a break in the show when he fell down a hole in front of the shocked crowd.
In images shared on social media, concertgoers can be heard gasping as Martin disappears from sight.
The Yellow singer is then heard reassuring fans: “That’s not planned,” before adding: “Thanks for catching me” to a production worker below the stage.
After the incident, Martin continued with the show.
