The Bass player was on Jeopardy! the past few days. Winning, even.

This is what they're known for:

Probably unintelligible to non Australians.

Ha, do tell.  Cool band though.  Here are the lyrics to Smoko:

So Let me set the scene
It's 2 in the afternoon and 34 degrees
The Queensland harsh summer heat
Had me sweating buckets all up and down my street
It was there i spotted the bloke
Perched a-top of his milk crate throne
He eyed me off as I approached
Then he said

I'm on Smoko, so leave me alone
I'm on Smoko, so leave me alone
I'm on Smoko, so leave me alone
I'm on Smoko, so leave me alone

I'm on Smoko, so leave me alone
I'm on Smoko, so leave me alone
I'm on Smoko, so leave me alone
I'm on Smoko, so leave me alone

So it's Tuesday Morning and my Centrelink hasn't come through
So i pick up the phone 'cause I've got some abusing to do
But all i get is elevator music
Waiting on the line
On hold all the time
All i get is elevator music
Waiting on the line
'Til i get a reply

Well I guess the main ones are:
smoko = cigarette break
centrelink = welfare/unemployment office
bloke = a guy, normally really masculine and fits kind of a stereotype
In the video you've also got the main guy dressed as a surf lifesaver and there's a stereotypical modern tradesman.

Okies, my fav bumper music is, Highway to the Danger Zone, Dust in the Wind, Point of No Return, Wind of Change, Carry on Wayward Son, One Velvet Morning, and our eternal fav is UFO Phil singing "Listening to Coast to Coast!"

I daresay, this is my type of ~chick~....

Stand by me, baby.
