Thanks! The web page has “Sixties in Australia” in that timeslot.

A song that recently re-arisen in popularity due to its appearance in the Amazon Prime Video movie “Saltburn.”

Yes, now 5-7 Thursdays.

And @TV-Expert , you didn’t steal my thunder, though it is Thor’s Day after all :slight_smile:

Glad you enjoyed those two. The Tingles EP was one of my first music purchases at only 4 and a half years old, still love it as much as I did then.

I’ll post the full log over on the logs thread.

My work plays this on the instore radio pretty regularly, to the point that I know the order of songs in the medley. https://youtu.be/PFVpPil_-aA?si=26vJgHMUDZR9NbIs

Edit: it’s the 12 inch version that goes for around 9 mins, not the radio edit that just has Beatles songs.

You know how you never hear some songs for ages then suddenly they appear more than once in quick succession?

Eddie Money - Take Me Home Tonight. Not exactly a radio staple but heard from time to time. Rebel FM played on breakfast (yes, before 9am) yesterday which was a little of a surprise. Then FM104 (sorry, 4MMM) played it this afternoon in their Awesome 80s day.

Reckon it might have been a year or two since I heard it last, then twice in two days. Funny how that happens sometimes.

Great song. Always takes me back to a certain time in my life that one. I also like I Wanna Go Back from Eddie also.
