❌Monthly Song Challenge: Archived🎵

So much about this is quintessentially Australian 🥰
The national obsession with Tina Turner.
The fact that s cigarette company headlined the biggest sport in the nation.

Nostalgic and good stuff.
From one quintessential Aussie to another ..I know right..and I couldn’t resist given they opened the season with a couple of games in Vegas
 
Day 3: A song you love to hate
I'm gonna pass as I'm struggling to think of a song/ music
For me, I either love a song or hate it. There is no in between
I find it hard to believe there's not a single catchy song in any genre that you hate yourself at least a little bit for liking, but would still sing along to it.
 
Day 3: Song I hate to love

A complex song about infidelity and relationship troubles. It’s catchy AF.

I get bonus points because this is a song with women. Plus it’s woman positive. So I should get random bonus points.

 
Phil Collins in the Air Tonight
This song.. I love Phil Collins but this song gets so over played.. And the story that goes with it "He saw someone drowning" Phil Collins himself has gone on Record and said that is NOT TRUE..
One, the greatest drum break in music history.

Two, on being overplayed, I am not sure most people understand how ubiquitous Phil Collins was for a time. He played drums for a couple of Robert Plant's solo albums, played on Adam Ant's album, played on Eric Clapton's album, had a top-selling album with Genesis, a top-selling solo album, a duet with the guy from Earth Wind and Fire, the lead in a movie, an Academy Award nomination (for "Take a Look at Me Now," not his movie), played drums for the Band-Aid supergroup, and played Live Aid, which had simultaneous concerts in England and Philadelphia, both on the same day. This was all in a three or so year period. He was everywhere, in a move that only Taylor Swift has been able to pull off. And the results were everyone came to hate him. Honestly, he is really underappreciated as a drummer. Go back to the early Genesis stuff, he is scary good.
