Last weekend I spent some time at an all-day benefit in Second Life, raising real life funds for the Australian Red Cross in the aftermath of the catastrophic bushfires. All told we raised over 300,000 L$ (Linden dollars) which is around 1400 $AU.
My SL brother and top DJ Weylin (an Australian in real life) played an Aussie-themed set including this tune, which I had almost forgotten existed* and which has been stuck in my head ever since. Except the lyrics have turned into “You have to believe we are tragic”. And that made me think of a silly game which I came across years ago on a sadly long-gone blog around gay life in London: take a song containing the words “heart” and/or “eyes” and replace those words with “arse”…
* To be honest, I think I had almost forgotten that Olivia Newton-John existed. Which is tragic.
