Day 470: I send a message, INXS

Ok time for another INXS song. 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
