Nostalgic Moments

I got hold of a copy of this casette (for 13 cents at Salvation Army) and listened to songs that bring back memories. As I recall, it was a vinyl record that I purchased back when “Who Can It Be Now?” and “Down Under” were popular. The lyrics still make me smile. Men At Work had/have such a sense of humor (I don't know if they're active).

Traveling in a fried-out combie
On a hippie trail, head full of zombie
I met a strange lady, she made me nervous
She took me in and gave me breakfast
And she said,

"Do you come from a land down under?
Where women glow and men plunder?
Can't you hear, can't you hear the thunder?
You better run, you better take cover."

Buying bread from a man in Brussels
He was six foot four and full of muscles
I said, "Do you speak-a my language?"
He just smiled and gave me a vegemite sandwich
And he said,

"I come from a land down under
Where beer does flow and men chunder
Can't you hear, can't you hear the thunder?
You better run, you better take cover."

Lying in a den in Bombay
With a slack jaw, and not much to say
I said to the man, "Are you trying to tempt me
Because I come from the land of plenty?"
And he said,

"Oh! Do you come from a land down under? (oh yeah yeah)
Where women glow and men plunder?
Can't you hear, can't you hear the thunder?
You better run, you better take cover."

Speaking of old, cool music...

Months ago now, I won some nice music compilations from the '80's from Bebe Thomas, including "Brandy (You're A Fine Girl)" by The Looking Glass. I love, love that song. But, I had no idea who song it until I got that CD.
