A good old Aussie rock song. Haven't seen it for about 20 something years. It was on one of my PAL video tapes. Had to stop and crank it up to 11 of course.

And I never noticed he's carrying a "slab" of beer (VB?) across a busy Melbourne road before.....

I was just watching the video again and thoroughly enjoying the street scenes. It reminded me of when I was back in Oz in April/May. I'd forgotten which country I was in and I started driving on the right side of the road.

Luckily my friend said "Hey, where ya going!!!??"

Oops! Did a quick U turn and now thoroughly red faced, I headed the other way. b0095

The signifigance of the title always escaped me. In Sydney we always called it a "carton" of beer.

Now it all makes sense.....(I guess H&C are from Melbourne)

BTW I remember doing the dance to that one :) Luckily that was before camera phones and the ubiquitous video cameras!

My last visit home i was doing this but only driving out of supermarkets i was always driving out the wrong side, my poor mum almost had a heart attack each time she was with me.
