5 Seconds of Summer - She Looks So Perfect was played on Hit 104.7 this morning. I am embarassed to say that I was a “fake fan” (i.e. only listened to their singles, never saw them live) of 5SOS back in the day…

Some great songs on the ‘Conga Line’ 2BRW this afternoon (via stream)

Touch The Fire – Icehouse * (A side/B side)
D’yer Maker – Led Zeppelin
Charlotte Anne – Julian Cope
Foxtrot Uniform Charlie Kilo – Bloodhound Gang
You Are Soul – Doug Mulray

Only got to listen to the first 90 mins however, great show again @dxnerd

'* One note - a reference was made to this A side/B side (the B side track was ‘Last Cut’) being from the ‘Man Of Colours’ album .. Well, yes and no, neither track was on the original 1987 release of ‘Man Of Colours’, but ‘Touch The Fire’ was on the 2002 re-release…

Oops, yes I thought I never heard it on the original Man Of Colours before.

Thanks for clearing that up and for listening. I’ll add a correction on my next show, like any good medium should.

Will post the full playlist shortly. As you might be able to tell from the tracks above, the Missing Six this week focused on wordplay and puns.

Ian Moss - Telephone Booth, on 101.5 Caboolture just now.

The forgotten sibling to Tuckers Daughter but just about as good a track. One of those songs I remember from childhood but must have not heard in 25+ years I reckon.

Listening to Super Hits in USA heard Men at Work Down Under. Later switched to Greatest Hits UK and they played You’re the Voice John Farnham.

5 Likes

Yes, sometimes we forget how massive Men At Work were in the US. Sometimes I think they were even bigger there than here in some respects. Not just Down Under either, they had some big hits there with songs like Overkill and Who Can It Be Now - both of which charted a couple of places higher than they did in Australia.

Some great songs on the Retro 20/20 Countdown tonight
(streamed via iHeart Radio’s 5MU so timeshifted locally to 7.30 as I was late getting dinner ready!).

One Of Us – Joan Osborne
(last song played before the Countdown)

The theme tonight was the Top 20 from this week in July 1987

I Want Your Sex – George Michael
Breakout – Swing Out Sister
Shakedown – Bob Seger
Boom Boom (Let’s Go Back To My Room) – Paul Lekakis
Suddenly – Angry Anderson
(Glad I’m) Not A Kennedy – Shona Laing
Ship Of Fools – World Party
He’s Gonna Step On You Again – The Party Boys
Who’s That Girl? – Madonna

A special mention for them also playing the Cynthia Fee version of ‘Thank You For Being A Friend’ (used as the opening theme to ‘The Golden Girls’), which in my opinion is way better than the Andrew Gold version. The show got a mention as it also started in 1987.

Great show again today @dxnerd… just a small selection of my picks from that show (but there were in reality only 3 or 4 songs that weren’t my cup of tea).. but I know you’ll probably post the full log tomorrow anyway.

Cattle And Train – Go-Betweens
Dogs Are The Best People – The Fauves
Baby Baby – Ratcat
E = MC2 – Big Audio Dynamite
Tour de France - Kraftwerk

Though I was a bit mystified by the ‘Missing Six’.. which referenced the 1985 ‘Hottest On Record’ compilation album.. none of the songs you played were on the compilation I was thinking of (pic below)… and one of the songs you played was from 1980 (No Secrets - The Angels) ? I know you mentioned it was released by CBS, though this one was released by RCA… was there another one? (I couldn’t find it).
