OLD 55 Posted January 28, 2007 Author Report Share Posted January 28, 2007 With A Little Help From My Friends ~ Joe Cocker. I hope it gets in this time Laurie ! I nominated it unsuccessfully before. The absolute best cover of any Beatles' song, but don't take any notice of the 'falsetto' in that clip. He has real female backing singers on the record. Thank you for your accuracy to the four who've nominated so far ! Edna even gave us the years of release. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Farin Posted January 28, 2007 Report Share Posted January 28, 2007 Automatic/Zootwoman Is that for real edna ? after that comment I feel like nominating that song myself! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
c_s_1987 Posted January 28, 2007 Report Share Posted January 28, 2007 As a belated celebration of Australia Day, I think I should nominate Australian songs. This time though, I will actually nominate ones that were popular overseas, so hopefully no one who likes these songs will refrain from voting for them. Who Can It Be Now - Men At Work (1982) (Reached #1 on the Billboard Top 100, made the top fifty on the singles chart in both the US and UK). Howzat - Sherbet (1976) (Reached #4 on the singles charts in the UK, also charted in USA) Note that I also took a hint from edna with the years.

That's too easy. I don't want to be a TOP TEN TART Goodnight All ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Farin Posted January 28, 2007 Report Share Posted January 28, 2007 once again, I'll nominate two songs where I'm almost sure that nobody will vote for it (don't let that discourage you though ) Once Around the Block ~ Badly Drawn Boy Video Trying to outrun your fear Your running to lose, heart on your sleeve And your soul in your shoes Take a left, a sharp left And another left, meet me on the corner And we'll start again Spaceman ~ Babylon Zoo Video I can't get off the carousel I can't get off the carousel I can't get off the carousel I can't get off this world Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
