I think it was used for an insurance ad recently; that may have started it.

young person here. I guess the overlap between uni and high schooler has increased. The Horses is always a staple at any uni party (3rd to last song, before Mr. Brightside and Hey Baby!).
Like Eagle Rock, itâs got this whole âauraâ around it - Pants off for eagle rock, while The Horses begins with a huddle during the versus (where two people lift each other up and do a dance of some sort in the middle of the circle) which turns into a full on mosh at all chorus. I guess The Horses has been that bad smell that just stuck around.
I tend to agree - I love that song, but only when Iâm well plastered. Not too sure how the younger kids tolerate it. They might just hear it from older siblings/friends or see the trend on Spotify and go with it. Thatâs the mystery with a good meme, no one really knows why they became so popular.

I donât know why Horses is getting a lot of action on social media, but I think the song is quite good.
One thing I just remembered from about 2 weeks ago - 2DAY played Oh What A Night by The Four Seasons, around 1pm on Friday 1 December.
I think it was the 1993 remix version, but it was incredibly out of place. Fast paced, energetic dance music followed by a song that would be at home on Smooth or 2CH.

I havenât been to a uni party for a good 6 years now but here in NZ. Itâs usually Angels by Robbie Williams to finish at most house/Work parties I go to. Although at our work Xmas party the other week, The Gambler was last (it was Cowboy themed though).
The Voice by Farnham usually gets a go late on too.

âToo Much Fandangoâ by Ritzi on 2CH Sydney, sometime around 11:30pm last night. Very cool (and rare!) one-hit wonder.

Itâs out of format if itâs actually a SONG on Triple M these days. I expect cricket or uninformed talkback shows.

Not really a song but Logan 101 played Desiderata last week - the original, thankfully not the Kamahl version.

Last Friday on KIIS 101.1 Melbourne:
Better Man - Pearl Jam
Stuck out like a sore thumb, even though it was part of the KiIStory double play. Very out of KIISâs format!

Well, they do claim to play âMore Music, More Varietyâ.
I canât really complain that they donât.
2DAY also played Crowded Houseâs âBetter Be Home Soonâ this afternoon.
That rekindled a fond radio memory for me, as it was the first time Iâve heard that song on that frequency since I went up to Expo 88 and heard it on FM104, and on the same frequency again on the way back home on 2CHY.

I have no doubt 2DAY wouldâve played that song back when it was a hit, given it wouldâve fitted the stationâs format at the time, which was AC. I wouldnât be surprised if 2MMM played that song back then too, as both 2DAY & 2MMM were competing with each other, plus the fact that 2MMM effectively became a part-time Top 40 station after 2SM became Light & Easy 1269 in April 1988.
