Split Enz - I Got You

Thanks Kathy!
It’s a very cheerful kind of song.
You almost have no choice.

[Michael.SF.]

I always liked that song, but honestly never saw the performer. His facial gyrations are very odd. I can see why he only had one hit. As the old joke goes, he has a great face for radio.

[Michael.SF.]

I would also be skeptical regarding the story and the bomb.

[Allegra]

I like your video even better. 👍

“Jane’s Getting Serious”

“Somebody’s Watching Me”

“Don’t Worry Be Happy”

[The “instruments” in the a cappella song are entirely overdubbed voice parts and other sounds made by McFerrin, using no instruments at all]

And then Neil Finn had another one hit wonder with Crowded House

Don’t Dream It’s Over

[Kathy in Alaska]

A long time favorite! Dominique...to be listened to over and over.

Thanks, Fiji...

[Kathy in Alaska]

Very good family, indeed. Thanks, pnut22...

[Allegra]

Love that one. It’s on my iTunes.

That whole CD by Crowded House was surprisingly good, seeing as how they only had the one hit.

[Golden Eagle]

Thank you! I’ve played them both, many times over, and like that one better too. The music is what’s so awesome though! The history of how that song was produced is pretty amazing too, if you haven’t seen it.
