I had never heard it before I saw the movie and can't seem to find it anywhere to download. I have sang it at Karaoke.
Was it a huge it down under or in Europe? Cuse I have never heard it here in the US.

Oh and here is the best scene from the movie

The nutcase I used to go out with ... confided with me ... that she'd watched it .... and gotten a big idea from it. She  actually went to a wedding shop (shops ?) ... years before I met her  ... and tried on a bridal gown ... to see what she might look like as a bride ... then burst into tears, as she told herself .... nobody would ever marry her. At that moment ... I felt sorry for her ... and didn't rule out the possibility ... that I might one day propose ?   :-\\   Having gone on to  endure a year of hell with her ... I'd say she was / IS  quite right !  8-P

Not entirely true. Did cop a number of bruises .... from being kicked and thumped .... when I had sciatica.  First time I'd ever had it in my life ! (back in 2001). She thought I was putting it on to some extent. Fact was, I had GREAT difficulty ... even sitting down ... to go to the loo (toilet) ... which we ALL have to do ... at SOME point .... and... crossing the road, I requested her arm .... it was a MAJOR effort /waiver on her part .......  ::)  8-P

So, when she attacked me, a couple of days later, my mobility was still severley hampered, / restricted. When she started to use me as a punching / kicking bag ........... I warned her / shadowed boxed to the best of my ability. She launched yet another attack ... but I was ready... and gave her a black eye (which she sported around a local club some days later .... as 'evidence' .. that I'd beaten HER up ! v ::)


As for unscathed ... MENTALLY .... I've never been quite the carefree guy / same person .......... since !    :-X

Geez you screen them better these days I hope. That sciatica can be a b!itch. I had it for Christmas one year wen my kid were little, I couldn't move off the couch. I thought only old people got it but I was still in my 20s.

I don't think this thread should be on the 80s board, since the movie Muriel's Wedding was released in 1994:
