Day 35: Da Da Da by Trio
Let’s really go crazy. This is one of our Rebekah’s favourite. Love the guitar player. “I know why you went away. Understand you couldn’t stay.“
Week 5
18th — 24th of April 2020
Day 34: Pop Muzik by M
The crazy 80s! Do people remember this baby? Well actually this song came out in 1979.
Day 33: Rasputin by Boney M.
OK from yesterday’s post this Segway could have gone the obvious way (I listed three classic rock tunes which I could now cover) or the psychedelic way I shall choose the latter. So yesterday’s song was Eagle Rock by a band called Daddy Cool. The 3 hit wonder group Boney M wrote a hit song …

Day 30: Down Under by Men at Work.

Day 29: Torn by Natalie Imbruglia
The next two hits made it big outside Australia. The first one is by Natalie Imbruglia. Finally made it back into the 21st century briefly. I really like the video to this song, it’s clever.
