we all know the Hank Snow version of this next song, and probalby several other versions of it as well, but "ive been everywhere" was written by an Australian in 1959 and became a huge hit for Aussie pop singer Lucky Starr sometime around 1960...
so without further ado i give you the original "ive been everywhere":

Most think this is a Carpenters song. Nope! Wrong ⦠the original was by a wonderful band, now obscured by the mists of time ⦠Klaatu.
