Good thing I like it. Reminds me of early HS years. Okay, it’s been almost 2 weeks and this song is STILL stuck in my head. Good thing I like it. Reminds me of early HS years.

Irwin/Jack is American though. There is also another GREAT Aussie singer....again out of Melbourne...again a former singer for the Little River Band....his name is Steve Wade. He was on Graham Goble's two solo releases called "Stop" and "Nautalus". He is a brilliant singer. A "funky" example of Steve Wade's earlier career can be found here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NSjSpDyJS9E Here is Jack Jones and Tommy Emmanuel doing Imagine: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d_0LU_OmbU4 Irwin Thomas is better known by his “stage name” when he was with Southern Sons….and that name was Jack Jones.

Then I came to find out there were TWO different songs, which made it even better, but LDB's is far superior. By the way, at least some of these dudes are still together (Birtles, Horrock and Goble, the name just rolls off the tongue) and they asked to be my friend on myspace:   http://www.myspace.com/birtlesshorrockgoble  In my younger years, when I wasn’t as knowledgable about music, everytime someone mentioned Styx’s "Lady," I thought it was this song.

Quit making the rest of us look bad, Terje! Ah, "Freaks and Geeks." Such a good show. I definitely want to see "Knocked Up," which is getting rave reviews. Didn't Jason Segel's character serenade Linda Cardellini in one episode with Styx's "Lady"? "Lady Love Me (One More Time)" is definitely mellow. I used to work with a guy who could recite lyrics to songs from memory, and "Lady Love Me" was one of the songs he could repeat word for word. That doesn't sound too impressive until you realize how hard it is to recite lyrics in front of other people. Sure, I can recall song lyrics when I'm by myself, but it ain't so easy when others are listening, and this guy knew the words to tons of songs. The human memory is a funny thing. I wonder what years R&B Mellow Gold covers as a viable genre. This is worth researching! I listened to "Lady" before reading this post, and the line about "making me want you SOMEHOW" did strike me as odd. Tie it in with "The Lady in Red" on last week's Chart Attack! and you have pretty much the same narrator for both songs: "You look so amazing right now, my darling. Huh ... why is that? Because usually you're just a Plain Jane. But I gotta tell you -- right now I am SO horny!" Terje’s Woodblock Festival comment was hilarious, and English isn’t even the guy’s first language.

That might be Farnham's best vocal with the band.There's another Australian singer named Irwin Thomas (former lead singer of Southern Sons) who sounds like a young Farnham.
