At least it rhymes with Moorabbin.
For anyone curious SWR does not have Happy Birthday Helen in rotation but does have Accidently Kelly Street in rotation

Wrong thread, though rarely heard these days.
(I would rather hear the Weird Al parody, ‘Don’t Download This Song’).

Some great rare songs on tonight’s ‘Retro 20/20 Countdown’ on the ARN regional log. The theme tonight being this week in 1986.
You’re A Friend Of Mine – Clarence Clemons & Jackson Browne
No One Is To Blame – Howard Jones
I Knew The Bride When She Used To Rock n Roll – Nick Lowe
Suspicious Minds – Fine Young Cannibals
Absolute Beginners – David Bowie
Russians – Sting
Concrete And Clay – Martin Plaza
And a honourable mention for also playing Cliff Richard’s ‘Living Doll’, but alas, it was the original version from 1959, not the one with the Young Ones TV show cast.
But still, I can’t remember the last time I heard a song from the 50s on commercial radio! Do ACE Radio (2UE, Magic, 4BH), Cruise or 3MP ever play anything from then?

This one is certainly living at the moment. Both versions have aired on ‘Martin’s Morning Mix’ this week (Braidwood FM).
I have heard Chantilly Lace - The Big Bopper from 1958 (a song I previously associated with 3KZ - it was featured in one of its commercials) on Magic’s Saturday Night Jukebox show recently.

Southern Contemporary Rock Assembly- Roly Poly
QBN FM tonight, general automation. The one gem in amongst a sea of country and other less inspired selections.
