Speaking of Crowded House/Split Enz, when I was over in Aus at Christmas, I picked up a "Best of Australia" CD in a record shop and saw that it had about ten songs from Crowded House, Split Enz, the Finn Brothers and Dragon. I think you'll find they're Kiwi Bands you crafty Aussies! (in the case of Crowded House, 2/3rds were Aussie, but the undoubted talent was from Te Awamutu, NZ - not Australia!!) |
You know what? I NEVER knew who did "Six months in a leaking boat"! Whenever it used to come on radio, I'd sing and dance along to that thing...Like a lunatic! And the only words I used to know was: "I just spent 6 months in leaking boat, six months in a leaking boat"...And the rest I just made up!!
And I have no idea who the Finn brothers and Dragon are either!
PS: I always make up my own words if I can't make out what they're singing... Like that old Bob Dylan song: The answer is blowing on the wind"? Well, he sings: "The answer my friend, is blowing in the wind, the answer is blowing in the wind".
I used to sing: "The ants are my friends, they're blowing in the wind, the ants are just blowing in the wind". Embarrasing huh? But I was a kid, so I never cared that people laughed!
There are a couple of others too, but they're REALLY to crazy to mention...
