Hello, Hello!

[erikred]

I listen to Australian Radio a lot. There are plenty of reasons for this, of course, but the most reasonable reason is that that occasionally showcase tunes like Hello (2.6Mb mp3) by Cat Empire (Flash required). The band's website also offers this fun (if poor quality) quicktime video.

I understand just a little
No comprende--it's a riddle

"I SAID, HEY MATE, WOULD YOU LIKE SOME VEGEMITE!?!?"

Somebody had to make the comparison.

An updated version of:

I said do you speaka my language
She just smiled and gave me a vegemite sandwich

(another great endrhyme...)

My Aussie friend told me, "I'm going to hospital today."

With his accent, it came out "I'm gone to hospital to die."

English is a peculiar language.

First the kittens in northern England, now this?! Your musical taste is sublime, sir! Boogie right on down.

I love the rhyme with "pillow" and "khhhhhello"

My brother's currently studying in Australia, so now I can impress him with my knowledge. Thanks!

Hehe, thank you, I try.

Where abouts in Oz is your brother studying? You should see if he can pick up some TripleJ Hottest 100 CDs for you while he's there.

Ooh, good idea. I'll ask. He's doing a semester abroad at Bond University, which is a private school on the coast in Western Australia near Surfer's Paradise. It's basically a resort town, but he's apparently been studying hard. Well, that's according to my mother, so actually I have no idea what he's been doing. :)

Oops, duh, that would be Eastern Australia. (I think Coast, I automatically think West Coast.)
