Sunscreen was released in 1999, and is a spoken word recording, consisting of a series of nuggets of wisdom or advice for people, set to a nice mellow but downbeat electronic track.
The voiceover is provided by an Australian actor called Lee Perry.
The backing is the choral version of "Everybody's Free (To Feel Good)", a 1991 song by Rozalla, used in Baz Luhrmann's Romeo + Juliet.
Broadcaster Joe Donnelly joined Mario for Mario's Sunday Roast to chat about the Story Behind The Song 'Sunscreen.'

On why he thinks the song strikes such a chord Joe says, "I think it was one of those songs that will have really meant something to people leaving school or college at the time, or embarking on – or ending – a relationship.
"At it’s heart the piece – to me anyway – is about time and age. It’s about trying to limit the amount of regrets you’ll have in your life. It’s about self-compassion and kindness. It’s about coming to terms with how quickly the past becomes the past.
"One of my favourite lines is: ‘Enjoy the power and beauty of your youth, oh, never mind / You will not understand the power and beauty of your youth until they've faded’. It’s just part of life and growing up that you realise so many things after time has passed, when you’re looking back. I saw a great line recently, can’t quite recall it fully, but it was something like: ‘Life experience is the exam for which there was no text book’. I think that’s kind of the essence of this song.
