You've gotta love YouTube, really, you just do.

I was having a nostalgia moment and it occurred to me to look up the "Five in a Row" songs that always make me laugh. And of course they were there!

Takes you back doesn't it?

Midnight Oil is the last one :)

Diesel was "Cry In Shame" and "I Don't Need Love" and "Right on the Tip of My Tongue"

Crap. Thanks. I always get those names mixed up. Diesel, Midnight Oil - it's all oil!! Who the hell sang for Diesel again?

He was originally Johnny Diesel (and the Injectors) and then became Diesel, but well before that his name was Mark Lazotte and he played in a Perth band called The Innocent Bystanders, and then became the guitarist in Jimmy Barnes' band in the Freight Train Heart era after Cold Chisel split up.

*laughs* You really know your shit! I remember Johnny Diesel - can even vaguely see him in my head. It's funny, but none of these famous Aussie bands have made it overseas. There's a bit of Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds and you could probably find a Crowded House CD, but Cold Chisel? Midnight Oil? Barnes, Farnham etc? Not a chance. They've never heard of them. Not sure that that's a bad thing (I'm not much of a fan, but it's iconic isn't it?), it just makes me miss home more!
