Subject: Unusual lyrics # 6

Written By: FussBudgetVanPelt on 05/08/02 at 07:06 a.m.

Well that last one was too easy by far.

Here's one to chew on for a while then :

Name, Artist and line :

"Antipodes"

A hint straight up - it was from a movie

Is the artist American, British or Australian?

Another hint, seeing as none of you are asking :

The singer was a one-hit wonder

The 1972 Bruce Beresford movie was regarding the aussie cultural invasion of Britain in the 60's and 70's

The lead character (whose name comprises part of the song title) was a beer swilling aussie 'larrakin'

I'll get someone to answer this if it kills me (and the way it's going that looks like is what's going to happen)  :)

Yes - that was the move title - IT WAS ALSO THE SONG TITLE

So now I am looking for the Artist and the line containing 'Antipodes'

I do believe I know that. It was no other than the "Smacka Fitzgibbon"
The line states "Straight from the shores of the ANTIPODES
Wafting the scent of the eucalypt trees" Yeh Me.....

Congrats Reddyrules - a winner !

Some of the memorable lines from that song :

If you wanna get your sister in a frenzy,
Introduce her to Barry McKenzie

or

From the land that's got the whole world green with envy,
The Adventures of Barry McKenzie

or

From the team that bought you Sir Robert Menzies *,
The Adventures of Barry McKenzie


*  Former Australian Prime Minister
