During April a bunch of bloggers are participating in the A-to-Z blogging challenge of 2013. My theme for 2013 is an A-to-Z list of classic Aussie tunes - either classic or just plain songs I like. Today's letter is "P" and I have selected two songs (as well as quite a looong list of honourable mentions!):
I saw John Farnham as a little kid, at the long-gone Perth Entertainment Centre. My little brother kept falling asleep - mum had to wake him up for his favourite songs. Anyway, "Farnsy" as we call him (we have Farnsy, Barnsy and more recently, Nollsy. hehe) is a total Aussie legend, but mention of him usually reminds me that people often confuse my surname with his. I even got asked once if I was related to him. "Yeah, he's my uncle," I said, but it's not true. Anyway, "Pressure Down" was one of his greatest hits, and I still love it today. As for Kylie Minogue? Well, I can't say I'm a big fan of her music, but this song is actually one I really, truly love. It's the best song she ever did that I've heard, and I find the video clip quite mesmerising as well!
