Drat. I thought this would be tougher since the line goes by pretty fast in the Men at Work version.

It might have been tougher, but I had looked up the lyrics very recently. I've been on a big Colin Hay kick (after seeing him in an old episode of Scrubs), and I was getting annoyed that I didn't know the words well enough to sing along with him on this song....so I looked them up. I think I did this within the past 2 weeks. I also really enjoy use of the word chunder. :)
I'm sure that was way more information than anybody ever wanted on this topic. :)

You got the Journey one (from "Separate Ways"). But that's not Smashing Pumpkins I'm looking for on the last one.

I'm impressed that people got all of these without Googling. I only got the one before I cheated and looked the rest up.

Its all about the 80's man, they were THE best time to be a teenager! Sex was readily available, money was fairly good and the music was better than ANY other decade, period.

Very true. I'm still bitter that I missed out on all the available sex back then. Stupid shyness. :(
