SA Footy

Work Road trip in early-mid 90's, Im with a younger colleague (and mate) on the way to Melbourne, and he starts playing all this dancey music, that isn't Metallica, AC/DC or Chisel so I do my best to reject it, but by the end I admit Im unwittingly tapping my feet away to La Bouche, Alex Party, Rosella etc (without letting on) as we reach the Ring Road in Melbourne.

Anyway, first time I ever walk into The Mens Gallery and this same music is playing, so thankfully I was accustomed to it (otherwise it could be quite a shock to walk into that place) .. But anytime now that I hear their music, the first thing I think of is that weekend that I learned to appreciate it, despite it not being my music of choice.

It's the weekend that I came .. Of age .. To full frontal music.

Led Zeppelin's "Thankyou" on the radio about 2 hours after my first born arrived.

Gerry Rafferty - Baker Street.....turning into Ashford Hospital (about midnight) as wife was in labor. ( daughter born )

Bow River - Cold Chisel ....driving alone from Yulara to Alice Springs in my ute (worked in Yulara) as there was a thunderstorn and a lightning show. Plus Bow River is ouside of Alice Springs.

Blue Bayou - Linda Ronstadt....living in N.T as a kid and was at a roadhouse in Katherine....they had a juke box (I was about 5 years old) ...this is the song I remember getting played regularly there.

The Geelong Theme song reminds me of the grand final in 07, 09 and 2011!!!

Beatles-Hey Jude- Central Finals
Andrea Bocelli- Time to say Goodbye- Danny Hulm memorial (therefore brings back memories of Danny)
Chemical Brothers-Galvanise- First big day out and first party biscuit
Eminem- Stan- Being a teenager hanging out on weekends in the 'beff'
Willow Smith- Whip your hair- My 3 years old fav song brings on memories off her dancing around in the lounge room.

In This River - Black Label Society

One of my good mates, died at 30.

It comes on in my car on random, Kills me everytime

Good song, pops its head up randomly on my car rotation too...

As for a moment, A weekend in Melbourne with mates when I was about 19. One of my mates who hired a car just kept playing "Return of the Mack" over and over. Even now when I head to Melbourne for work, that freakin tune gets in there...

I got my first stink finger when Boom Crash Opera's "Onion Skin" was playing at the Bluelight Disco.

Hey Jude

The muso asked what song I would like to hear

You must have had an itchy Bum Crack.

You Got It - Roy Orbison - reminds me of my wedding.

Beautiful Boy - John Lennon - Reminds me of the day my first born son was born and him passing away 2 hours later.

Most beautiful girl in the world - Prince. This played the day my daughter was born so i play it for her every time I get the chance.

About 15 years ago I had gone home to have tea, tell my partner we are over and then go to my footy club for a few beers after a win.
It wasn't a pleasant conversation but a huge weight off of my shoulders, I got in the car and "Psycho Killer" came on the radio, I turned it up full boar and it rocked out awesomely.
Love it every time I hear it now.

Murder on the dance floor was being played when my daughter was born.

Emporers New Clothes always reminds me of a pig I used to hang out of.

Sk8er Boi- Avril Lavigne.
Similar theme to Bum Crack- got busted munching carpet in the lounge room of a friends house.

Got my first finger action with Blink 182- Josie (everything's gonna be fine) playing out the back while we'd snuck into a bedroom.

When I hear "Ventura Highway" by America it reminds me of driving out on the Nullarbor plain.

Monique Brumby's "Fool For You" brings back similar memories for me...

I Feel Good - James Brown. First acid trip.
