Whoever got Evie part 1 by Stevie Wright hit the jackpot - in my opinion the very best piece of rock to come out of Australia… Have fun if you’re interested.

Hey, that song kicks ass! Thanks for jumping in on this one, cause I had already blown it off. YouTube has a pretty sweet version by a tribute band called The Wrights from just a few years ago.

I thought I had scored with “Can’t Get Enough of Your Love, Babe” and “Kung Fu Fighting”; now I think this might be the best song of the three. I’m feeling pretty good about my chances of winning the unofficial “Best Birthday Songs” award now.

Thanks again for cluing me in.

Thank you Elephant Screw (hm… pardon me, just a slip of the tongue :wink: ).
I doubt that the Trois Gymnopédies were a hit at that time if they ever have been. I’ve never listen to them… (I’m no Erik Satie fan though).
