Just a quick note, singing to Jump is one of my earliest memories. I'm glad that I can at least listen to all these songs.

UK: Caravan Of Love - The Housemartins

US: Walk Like an Egyptian - The Bangles

Aus: You're the Voice - John Farnham

I'm pleased to have classic Farnsy in there, but I had to google these Housemartins. Initially I thought there was good reason I'd never heard it before, but the Isley Brothers version is 100% better.

See music wasn't always better in the 70's....either that or it was just a crap day in music? (nah I was born on the same day as Bob Dylan, although 33 years later, so it was a good day in music)
