Australia Australia Australia, we love ya!

A Silver Squirrel to the first one who rings in with the source of that reference!

I'm not sure what made me think of this song, but it remains one of my favorites from the 80's, and one of the classic MTV videos (when MTV still played videos). This was sort of INXS's first American breakthrough from the album "Shabooh Shoobah," but they didn't hit it really big here until the album "Listen Like Thieves," with the song "What You Need," and even bigger with the album "Kick" and the songs "New Sensation," "Devil Inside," and "Need You Tonight."

I got to see INXS on the Kick tour, and it's one of the best concerts I've seen. It's been said that Michael Hutchence had a Jagger swagger, but I always thought he moved more like Jim Morrison, and that's who he reminded me of. I was very sad when he died, because he had so much talent and so many good years ahead of him. He took the phrase "die young and leave a good-looking corpse" to heart, and I'm so sorry that he did. R.I.P., Michael.

The One Thing

Well you know just what you do to me
The way you move soft and slippery
Cut the night just like a razor
Rarely talk and that's the danger

It's the one thing
You are my thing

You know your voice is a love song
It's a cat call from the past
There's no ice in your lover's walk
You don't look twice 'cause you move so fast

It's the one thing
You are my thing

You've got a dozen men behind you
You've got dead flowers on the floor
You're too pretty in the daylight
It keeps them coming back for more

It's the one thing
You are my thing
It's the one thing
You are my thing
It's the one thing
You are my thing
