SA Footy

Ok SA Footy lovers, unfortunately I have been given the task of arranging music for a good old work Xmas show this year which is of an aussie theme, so I thought why not come to the experts. What are australias greatest party songs, AND I DON'T MEAN YOUR CLUB SONGS, I have to cater music for people 18 to 60, (about the age range on here), so help me out post your ideas, so I can get busy. Remember they have to be Australian. Cheers and thanks in anticipation of some great songs

Santa Claus, Kevin Bloody Wilson.

The Angels - Am i ever gonna see your face again (no way get f**cked, F**k off)

Nothing more Aussie than that

There is Mick Jagger's a capella version of "Wild Colonial Boy" from the late 1970s "Ned Kelly" movie, but you would need chuck buckets handy. However, Kris Kristoffersen's and Waylon Jenning's songs from the same movie are much better and definitely Aussie themed.

so true and already downloading as we speak and even with the added chorus

Captain Obvious - Khe Sanh, Run To Paradise, Alice

If it's a mixed group, again, obviously John Farnham, Black Sorrows, Christine Anu

Oh... and Marvellous

Thanks, some great stuff there, already started the downloads, just had a mate send me one from Noiseworks I would have never remembered (must be old) Hot Chilli Woman, that was a classic. Keep them coming though, I need about 12 to 15 hours worth

Google "Countdown" for band names.
Should be a good fun project,I arranged a heap of tunes for a 50th wedding anniversary and it was a bit of a nostalgia trip and a "remember when?" thing.

ANY song by the following Aussie bands...
COSMIC PSYCHOS
BORED!
HARD-ONS
THE ONYAS
IRON SHEIKS
EXPLODING WHITE MICE
...Mate, I can go on forever!

get the CD of "Countdown the wonder years", volume 1 & 2, six discs of pure aussie music from the 70s right though the countdown era.
you wont need anything else.

Evie parts 1,2 &3....Calssic

Any classic aussie songs will do.

One of the funniest moments for me on this site was going through that old thread and almost hearing the penny drop for poor PhilG through the screen .... and then he still kept on fighting ....... and good on him for that

Worth a look - the thread was similarly titled to this one IIRC

Oz Crawl
Slim Dusty

Obviously my knowledge of Aussie music is limited to what friends over there have shared with me but how about...

Men at Work
TISM
Billy Thorpe
John Farnham
