  1. I'm not sure if this is a widely known Aussie music fact that I've somehow been clueless about all these years?

    You know the song "As the days go by" by Daryl Braithwaite?

    Do you know who the backing singer on that song is?

    Because I must have heard it hundreds of times over the years and yet somehow I didn't realise before I read it just now.

    It's John Farnham 🤯

    I didn't believe it, but I just listened closely. It sounds like Jack.

    I looked it up on Wikipedia, and sure enough, it's Farnzie: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/As_the_Days_Go_By

    How did I not know this?

    Did you?

  6. Ted Tocks Covers - Year 9 - Day 9

    Take Me to the Pilot

    Using a classic Elton John song to emphasize the role Dick James played in his stratospheric rise as an artist.

    “Through a glass eye, your throne
    Is the one danger zone
    Take me to the pilot for control
    Take me to the pilot of your soul”

  9. Würde ich seit Jahrzehnten gerne mal covern: Little River Band - The Night Owls

    [edit: gerade nachgelesen, dass hier Wayne Nelson gesungen hat - mea culpa]

  10. Oh man, just heard a new #AvrilLavigne song released this spring called "Young & Dumb" and it's a rather direct copy of the '80s "You're the Voice" by Australian #JohnFarnham.

  11. Steht nach langer Zeit mal wieder auf der Liste der zu covernden Lieder. Freue mich aufs Dudelsack-Solo, auch wenn ich halt nur das elektronische Imitat im Angebot habe: John Farnham - You're the Voice

  12. As a nominee for 'lamest dream ever', last night I dreamt that some friends & I played that game where you choose a category and you have to list as many items as possible within that category without repeating.

    And for whatever reason, in my dream the category was 'John Farnham songs' and I proceeded to rattle off four or five of them before abruptly waking up.

  13. I was surprised to learn that whilst the 1986 album "Whispering Jack", was wildly popular in Australia and my childhood, it wasn't known outside our sunburnt shores. Here's your chance to visit #Australia circa 1986 :-D youtube.com/watch?v=tF0gqm4uUN #JohnFarnham

  14. Okay, everyone drop what you're doing and take a look at this 👇 It's an isolated vocal track of John Farnham, circa around 1987, singing his cover of When The War Is Over. The big chorus is at 3:30 #music #Australia #Farnham #JohnFarnham #rock #AussieRock #vocals #vocalist #singing

  18. John Farnham is on stage to perform "You're the voice". He throws the kitchen sink at this performance: mullet, light show, bagpiper on the satellite stage. His song had taken two months to climb into the top twenty, and this performance helped it grow wings and turn into a massive hit.

    Not shown on stage: the effect to produce those massive drums. Allegedly, it comes from a Porsche door being slammed.

  19. @feather1952 @Godfrey642 @BlahBlah I only wish someone running the campaign would agree on backing it with a well known song, played to large audiences getting ready for their big sports games events across Australia, but seems like noone is interested in that, leaving the turn around to formal logic among a huge majority who are not engaged. We have seen huge 100,000 plus audiences sing along with #JohnFarnham's You're #theVoice try and understand it, millions connected. Could happen here too

  20. CW: obituary, Keith Reid

    @kentparkstreet Here's the original demo of You're the Voice that Keith recorded for John Farnham, including the original saxophone solo: youtu.be/FfcySR8MTlo
