John Safran's Music Jamboree was a light-hearted Australian music documentary television series, hosted by John Safran for SBS television. The program was produced by Selin Yaman and directed by Craig Melville, Clayton Jacobson and a number of other directors under the production company Ghost of Your Ex-Boyfriend Productions in association with SBS Independent. It screened in 2002, and consisted of sketches and outlandish public stunts, typical of Safran's work. The series won two Australian Film Institute Awards; "Best Comedy Series" and "Most Innovative Program Concept". SBS followed the series up with the similarly styled John Safran vs. God in 2004.

"Not the Sunscreen Song" is a song by Australian personality, John Safran released in December 1997. The song is a parody of Baz Luhrmann's 1997 single "Everybody's Free (To Wear Sunscreen)" which is a recording of a spoken word of essay on how to live a happier life written as a hypothetical commencement speech by columnist Mary Schmich, in June 1997 via the Chicago Tribune. The song also sampled Luhrmann's remixed version of the song "Everybody's Free (To Feel Good)" by Rozalla. "Not the Sunscreen Song" peaked at number 20 on the Australian ARIA Charts. At the ARIA Music Awards of 1998, the song was nominated for Best Comedy Release. In Triple M's 2005 Greatest Songs Ever Written and Performed Since the Beginning of Time poll, "Not the Sunscreen Song" came in at #706 – one spot above "Superstition" by Stevie Wonder.
