The Chats want you to enjoy a meal, a succulent sonic meal.

The band have announced an Australian tour to show off their impending debut album High Risk Behaviour, and they've dished up a new song called 'Dine N Dash'.

Following on from 'The Clap', the new single is another short, tongue-in-cheek blast of punk but this time about doing a runner at a fancy restaurant.

That's also the setting for the music video, shot on location at the swanky Walters steakhouse in Brisbane, but it also gives The Chats an opportunity to recreate a classic viral video. Watch below.

If you missed the joke, the dude who takes the fall for The Chats at the end is Paul Charles Dosza. He was a serial dine 'n' dasher in the 1980s who achieved internet infamy when bizarre footage of him being arrested ended up doing the rounds online.

Update: According to a new website, mrdemocracymanifest.com.au, his real name is Jack and he "will tell his story soon."

But hey, if the phrase "What's the charge? Eating a meal? A succulent Chinese meal?" doesn't mean anything to you, you're in for a treat.
