David Campbell has hit out at American comedian and TV star Jimmy Fallon.
In a spirited message, David unleashed on Jimmy after the comedian roasted his father Jimmy Barnes’ new track with Kirin J. Callinan, called Big Enough.
The song features Alex Cameron and Molly Lewis, and David’s father Jimmy Barnes can be heard unleashing his trademark harsh vocals on the track, which Fallon said on his show is on his ‘Do Not Play’ list.

‘Hey Jimmy Fallon, big fan here,’ David began as he hosted Today Extra.
‘I just want to clear up that that scream, was my old man, his name is Jimmy Barnes, he’s a national icon.’
‘I mean, you may as well have gone after the Sydney Harbour Bridge, or lamingtons, or Ferry McFerryface. Do you know how many babies have been made to my dad screaming over a loud speaker? Three quarters of the entire population of Brisbane, my yanky friend.’

He then said he wants Fallon to apologise to his father – and to Australia.
‘So I think you owe us, the Australian people, my father, Barnesy, a heartfelt apology. And before you think you’re better of us here in Australia. We didn’t elect a Trump. To you, Fallon!’
He added: ‘He’s taken on an icon, you can’t do that.’
Jimmy Barnes, 61, is known for tracks including Working Class Man and Stone Cold, as well as fronting Cold Chisel.
Kirin also shared a scathing statement aimed at Fallon.
‘Show some dog gamn (sic) respect,’ he wrote on Instagram.

‘Whilst it might be fun to sit on your TV throne in the land o (sic) make believe n (sic) believe u (sic) can b’little (sic) the little fella; truth is you’ve less made a mockery of me, more shown your inexcusable ignorance and in the process, insulted a nation.’
He added: ‘This won’t be the last you hear from the unrelenting blizzard that is the ice cold wrath o (sic) the land Down Under,’ he said.
Jimmy Barnes meanwhile added on Twitter: ‘I’m with you Kirin. I think you are a very talented young man. Tell Jimmy if he’s not careful we will move next door to him.’
