This is another song that I changed the lyrics of to create a joke song for a St Paul’s fellowship weekend away all the way back when this song was first released on the radio in 1984. As with the 1985 song, which was to the Beach Boy’s classic California Girls, I still have the original piece of paper on which I first penned the joke lyrics to this song all those years ago.

The first verse and chorus of this song went:

At Galstone, I think its true
The water’s freezing I think it gets through
Oh I wonder how they design
The showers to be so unkind

Chorus
I miss my bathroom
I miss the fun
Of having a shower
Whose temperature is 31

I remember the day that Michael Hutchence was found dead in his hotel room from I guess suicide; I was driving back from Sydney University as I was visiting Australia at the time. It was an absolutely stunning day in Sydney and as the news was announced on the news the radio DJ came on afterwards and said “Why did he go and do that for?” Such a crystal clear memory for me.
