Started looking up video links for this song today...
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=99P7TTvpO1g (John Farnham - original singer (1986) - note bagpipes at 2:55.)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eEbvsdg2ORY (Heart (1991))
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xpn0cTZp4ms (Guy Sebastian - Australian Idol Top 8 broadcast (2003) [song starts at 3:15 in])

I couldn't find the David Foster (1990) version of this song... maybe when I get my own computer back, I'll look for an MP3... I have to admit, I like the Farnham version of the song the best, but not by much. David did it too well. And no, I don't agree with the song itself, but it IS a good song.
At any rate, I'm just hoping Brooke places high (3rd or so.)
As for Idol last night... well, they were all good. Voted for David A. (my family asks me to put him in), Brooke (another automatic choice), and Kristy (the best singer other than those two that night, in my opinion).
At any rate, got this adlib from
mamaslyth and wanted to do it.
Dear
dufaux.
I don't really know how to tell you this, but our romance is over. I think I realized it when I saw the shrunken head at the mental hospital and I saw you drive out my father. I'm sure you're masochistic enough to understand that Extreme Home Makeover sucks. I'm returning your memories from the military service to you, but I'll keep the oil stocks as a memory. You should also know that I will tell the authorities about eggplant-fetishism.
Good luck on your short-term leave from jail,
curtis( The Rules... )
