During the 60’s and 70’s there was a strong migration of great musicians from our neighbour over the Tasman. Many of these New Zealanders made their mark on the Australian charts playing a focal part in the Australian Music Industry. This week under the theme of ANTIPODEANS we highlight some of that talent from “across the ditch”.

Over the years we have all been told by parents and/or friends to “do this” or “don’t do that”. With that in mind we decided to present a catalogue of songs featuring DOS and DON’TS. Manfred Mann’s 1964 version of Do Wah Diddy Diddy introduces the show followed by other Do songs including the Captain and Tennille’s timeless romantic ballad Do That To Me One More Time, Bobby Freeman’s self-penned Do You Wanna Dance and the Beatles Do You Want to Know a Secret. The LGBTQIA+ community is represented by Dusty Springfield and Lesley Gore with their Don’t songs. Don’t Change was INXS’s entry into the international charts and the legendary Buddy Holly ends the show with It Doesn’t Matter Any More.

For this program, Rob and Mossy have chosen two seminal years in their lives. They discuss what happened back then and some of the songs that were trending. 1964 was a huge year for The Beatles. They toured Australia and secured the top six spots in Australia’s yearly chart. I Feel Fine was one of those songs and they also featured in 1969 with Get Back. The opening song for 1964 was the unusual The Girl from Ipanema performed by renowned saxophonist Stan Getz and American-Brazilian singer Astrud Gilberto. Other big hits in 1964 were Barbra Streisand with People from the film Funny Girl and Dionne Warwick’s version of Anyone Who Had A Heart. 1969 saw Spiral Starecase soaring with their one hit wonder More Today Than Yesterday and Mama Cass with her solo hit It’s Getting Better. Australia was represented in 1964 by Billy Thorpe and The Aztecs’ popular cover Poison Ivy and in 1969 Ronnie Burns with Age of Consent.

The playlist for this episode focusses on pop songs that have been used in movies and songs that were specifically written for a film and consequently became popular after the film’s release. Chuck Berry’s You Never Can Tell featured in Pulp Fiction and Stealers Wheel’s Stuck in the Middle With You was one of the many ‘70’s songs flowing through Reservoir Dogs and ABBA’s Waterloo was used in a musical scene from Muriel’s Wedding. The Song from Moulin Rouge,  Hernando’s Hideaway (The Pyjama Game) became popular after the films’ releases as did Stayin’ Alive (Saturday Night Fever) and I Just Called to Say I Love You from The Woman in Red. On the Inside was written as the theme song  for television’s Prisoner.

It’s a simple theme for this episode – all song titles have one word only. Two falsetto afficionados Dee Clark (Raindrops) and Del Shannon (Runaway) perform their biggest hits. Legends Peggy Lee and Patsy Cline sing their signature songs Fever and Crazy. Aussie singers are in the forefront too with our own legends, John Farnham (One), Olivia Newton-John (Magic) and Sherbet (Howzat). Peaches and Herb provide the ballad Reunited and as usual there is a Beatle’s offering with Paul McCartney’s Yesterday.

As September comes to an end (where has the year gone?) we parcel up songs that embody the theme QUESTIONS. Mental as Anything and the Dave Clark 5 pose questions that may be seen as persuasive while Men at Work, Peter Sarstedt and Jack Scott are trying to satisfy their curiosity. Culture Club and Laura Branigan are somewhat emotive and Shirley Bassey wants to know what the future will bring. An everyday question is referenced by Bronski Beat with their song Why?.
