1. Choice Cuts
2. What about me?
5. Angry Anderson, Kate Ceberano....
6. Raindrops keep falling in my head (??)
8. When the river runs dry (??) No, still not "When The River Runs Dry", which Dogwatcher answered also
10. I think YOU AM I were on first Not You Am I
11. Get that Jive - Dragon
15. When the War is Over - Steve Preswitch who wrote it was in both bands
18. Guitarist with adelaide band The Stars

All others correct, LL - had a feeling once you entered the room, many of these would be knocked off

I was trying not to go for the most obvious "Throw your arms around me"...last guess ...how about "Do you see what I see?"

i reckon the Hunters song is

true tears of joy

Throw Your Arms Around Me, despite the hype over the years, only a #49 entry in 1986, and #34 in a re-release in 1990, after not charting at all in its original release in 1984;
"Do You See What I See" peaked at #33 in 1987, so neither of these

Very good get, MT_79 - that's the one. #14 in 1992.
"Holy Grail" was the next best at #20 in 1993; "When The River Runs Dry was the NEXT best at #23, and "Say Goodbye" at #24 rounds out their entire Top 30 output - surprising in some ways for a band that many of us know many of their words to their songs

Cheers CK. The original release (84) was a live version by the way.

I could be slightly unkind - despite being a big fan of H&C - and replace "hype" for "somewhat overrated" for the song, but that's a debate I might start on another thread . I've got their complete box set at home, everything ever released by the band, and IMHO, "Throw..." doesn't come close to some of their other songs

is the box set - the one that was released for around $150 at jb hi fi a few years back??? horn for plenty (or something similar)

i got their album of all b side tracks which is quite entertaining - mutations - picked it up for $8 at a jb hi fi store in melbourne

sorry for getting side tracked
