A Girl Like You by Edwyn Collins?
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?

It was in his jukebox... his famous jukebox...
So it's not Motown...? Well, then maybe I should google the answer...
But I'm not cheating so I'll just think about it...
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. ;-)

Wow, I love this song...
1) I don't really know but it surely is some Motown song...
2) John Lennon loved this song too...
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?

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.

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.

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.

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

"Waltzing Mathilda" is an actual song, something like an inofficial Australian anthem (correct me if I'm wrong
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.

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.

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 ;-)
