Whenever I listen to this song, it gives me an impression of it was recorded in helium rich atmosphere.

Plus the band did a lot of gigs in Sydney's Northern Beaches area- the breeding ground of some big name bands ( at least in Australia ) "Midnight Oil" "INXS" "Mental As Anything" and probably a few more I've forgotten. The Northern Beaches has a distinct character different from the rest of Sydney, it's hard to define to foreigners, but it's viewed as being a bit "strange". A lot of "suffering" if you have to live and work there.

All artists suffer for their art, I know I do.

Here's a clip of Chrissy and Midnight Oil performing together in the mid-80s:

Harvey Lembeck was a great character actor, known not only for his comedy roles, but, also, for some very good serious roles. He was not only an actor, he was a also a director and he was a pioneer in the art of improvisational comedy (improv); he had a workshop here in Hollywood where he taught and trained actors in all aspects of the art with a focus on comedy; he was highly respected and regarded in the field. He has a son, Michael Lembeck, who also became an actor, appearing in TV shows in the mid-70s and 80s; like his father, whom he strongly resembles, he has branched out into directing, writing, and producing; he also continues to operate his father's Comedy Workshop, which has an a very impressive roster of students, past and present:

One of the great aspects of the "Beach" movies was acting as a showcase for some acts, then new, that would go on to bigger fame, such as this fellow who, IIRC, made a bit of a name for himself:



... and, in the last Frankie & Annette Beach movie from 1987, here's another Stevie:





To be honest, as a young teenage boy, the main attraction of the Beach film series was all those girls in bikinis; however, the one who really caught my fancy was the one who I don't recall ever having been in a bikini in any of the films: Candy Johnson, who could stop a guy dead in his tracks:





This final clip is from one of the Beach series and features screen legend Dorothy Lamour singing and dancing; of note are two young dancers: in the yellow mini-dress is a barely out of teen years Teri Garr, and, in the shiny bikini, an equally young Toni Basil, later to be known as a famed choreographer and for singing the New Wave hit, Mickey...

...not really great, just lucky to be around...

Great pull, eisenwurst! Never heard of that cut before. The actual name of the group turns out to "Harry Limes' Gang" and they appear to have been a one hit wonder...

The Third Man is one of my very favorite films, all the way back from when I saw it as a child on TV, back in the 1950s. The music was so well done and placed. This is a very good version of the theme:





One of the beauties of old films was how a lot of the great films could convey so much with just a visual and an underlying theme:





I saw Orson Welles several times in person because one of my old walking routes used to take me by a restaurant, Ma Maison, Welles' favorite dining hangout; he was there so often, people trying to contact him often called the restaurant first before his own home and sometimes even mail was sent to him in care of Ma Maison; he even had his own reserved table. I would often see him lumbering his great frame either out of or into his limo. Both he and the restaurant are gone, but there are stories his ghost still haunts the location, taking up residence at the high-end pastry and sandwich shop currently at the old restaurant's location...
