Laverne and Shirley

I love me some Orange Juice too. Hold out your hand for your stamp... LB

Ooh yeah, well done. It does sound like Dancing In The Streets, but it really sounds like Edwyn Collins. Very good. Edna and The Seeker get half a koala bear stamp each. Who wants the koala, who wants the bear? LBB

Yes yes. You can figure this one out by listening to the first 10 seconds. It leapt out at me today, so I looked it up and found that my suspicions were correct. ;-) L.

Hey Edna, thanks for playing. Yes, it's a little beauty, this song. 1) Sorry, not a Motown song. 2) Well, I don't know... does John Lennon count as a "very famous man"? Could you perhaps describe the personal travelling music collection in question? Was it on an ipod, for example? LBB

That Americans actually do spell the word "Mom": M - O - M. Name a country apart from Portugal where they mostly speak Portuguese. LBB

Baby kangaroos (awhhhhhhhhh!). Name something that pleases other people when they look IN your window. L.

1,2,3 - Len Barry (1965) S S S Single Bed - Fox (1976) TRIVIA QUESTION: The intro to "1,2,3" was sampled and used as the basic beat for a song that is already in our Top Ten list. Name the song. TRIVIA QUESTION 2: "1,2,3" was included in the personal travelling music collection of a very famous man. Name the very famous man. Neatest correct, un-Googled answer earns a koala bear stamp. LBBB

Wow, just looking at the noms so far, it's remarkable some of the artists who have not yet made the list. This should be fun. LBB

*I* never got a brownie ;-(

Madama Butterfly - Puccini and the Australia Opera at the Sydney Opera House Name the best concert you were ever at. LBB

1. Strawberry Fields Forever – The Beatles (1967) 2. Street Fighting Man - Rolling Stones (1968) 3. Change Is Gonna Come, A - Sam Cooke (1964) 4. Only Living Boy In New York, The - Simon & Garfunkel (1970) 5. Waterfall - The Stone Roses (1989) 6. Monkey Gone To Heaven - Pixies (1989) 7. Christmas - The Who (1969) 8. Passenger, The - Iggy Pop (1977) 9. Hang On To Yourself - David Bowie (1971) 10.Soon - My Bloody Valentine (1991)

Okay, it's a tough week with some hard-to-find nominations. Here's all the noms I could find (now including the real actual River Deep): >>> SongFactors TT #158 playlist <<< Enjoy!! LBBB

Kashmir - Led Zeppelin Some guys try to pick up chicks And get called a--hole This never happened to Pablo Picasso LBB

Okay, this week, a couple of genuine Australian classics: Evie (Part One) - Stevie Wright (1974) ... that's the lead singer from the Easybeats, and the song is written and produced by his old bandmates Vanda and Young (aka Flash and the Pan), the guys who were responsible for the early AC/DC. Flame Trees - Cold Chisel (1984) ... the definitive OzRock band and a song that pulls the tears from my eyes every time. The moment where the lyrics reach their peak is perfectly matched with the gorgeous key change and that dropped bar. A very rare song that my wife and I both love love love. LBBB

I really don't understand this discussion. ;-(

Yes indeed. You haven't quite got the spelling right, but Waltzing Matilda is a poem by our most famous poet (really our ONLY famous poet), then turned into the most popular Australian "trad" song of them all. It's about a homeless bloke who steals a sheep, is caught by the police and escapes by jumping in a creek and drowning himself. THat's why we love it. See ya, Lee.

Pavment - Stereo: "What about the voice of Geddy Lee. How did it get so high? I wonder if he speaks like an ordinary guy?" LBB

Here's a few... Abraham, Martin & John - Dion Taxman - The Beatles Dear Mr Gable/You Made Me Love You - Judy Garland James Dean - Eagles The Day John Kennedy Died - Lou Reed Bradman - Paul Kelly (and many other songs about Don Bradman by many artists) Bloody Jeff - Scared Weird Little Guys God Save The Queen - Sex Pistols Bette Davis Eyes - Kim Carnes Rattlesnakes - Lloyd Cole (Simone de Beauvoir and others are mentioned). Many Lloyd Cole songs mention many writeres, artists, etc. My House - Lou Reed (the poet Delmore Schwartz) Mrs Robinson - S & G (Joe Dimaggio) Don't Stand So CLose To Me - Police (Nabokov) Buddy Holly - Weezer (Mary Tyler Moore) L, L.

Khe Sanh - Cold Chisel Probably THE definitive OzRock track, by the definitive OzRock band. Not very happy, although the music is "up". ABout a Vietnam vet who finds it hard to cope with back home aftre thw war. And it's a lot more fun than: Ruby, Don't Take Your Love To Town - Kenny Rogers ... and I Was Only Nineteen - Redgum The song that always makes ne cry: Two Little Boys - Rolf Harris Smiley - Ronnie Burns Everywhere - Billy Bragg I don't know if there are any celebratory/upbeat songs about war or service, not since George M Cohan anyway. Lbbb

Hmmm, I think that maybe we should prepare a list of all historical nominations so that we don't each have to put in so much work. I can probably extract every song from the Archive topic without too much effort... THen perhaps we/I could keep it as an on-going updated list. To prevent these little misunderstandings ;-) LBB

Riders On The Storm - the Doors What'll you do when you get lonely And nobody's waiting by your side? LB

Crazy 'Bout A Mercury - David Lindley (is that right?) LBB

Sony - Big Audio Dynamite ;-)
