My guess is that Down Under was a song used for sporting events, parties and any other Aussie gathering..it is a song to pump you up !...lol
CRAZY-HORSE Wrote:was a mega hit here for obvious reasons...the song actually went back to #1 a couple of years after it originally did as it was the unofficial theme song for the America's Cup yacht race in 83 or 84(i think?)...when the Alan bond/Jon Bertram "australia II" boat claimed victory over the americans, that was it, straight in at #1 again...
personally, i find "down under" to be very immature, but millions love it so who am i to disagree
The ultimate connection is between a performer and its' audience!
