Sunday Rewind: Crowded House edition

It's been a long, hot weekend.  The air conditioning is out at Casa Faler, so I'm blogging from a hotel while the kids are sleeping.  I was planning a Tom Tom Club post for Sunday Rewind, but decided I'm in more of a Crowded House mood, partially because I do love me some CH, but also because I know you, dear reader, already know more about CH than Tom Tom Club and I don't need tell you any background — they're Austrailian, yadda yadda yadda.  There is more to them than that, but I'll have to tell you another time, another post.  I will tell you that is was more difficult than I thought to find the videos this week.  Damn record companies and embedding-disabled videos, for realz, I searched for much too long for these three videos most because of my OCD for my blog, partly because I need something to keep my mind off of other things.  Anyhouse, here are "Don't Dream It's Over," "Something so Strong," and "Better Be Home Soon."  The last song features a line I love, "and I know I'm right for the first time in my life."  Love that.

Edit: how freakin' cute is CH singer Neil Finn?  If anyone needs me today, I'll be in 1986. 

Edit # 2:  shut the back door.  I did no research for this post, since I'm a slacker and was trying to find the three vids for you — lo and behold, I discovered something  just now that somehow got past me.  ME!  CH drummer Paul Hester was the Chef in the Wiggles "Fruit Salad" video.  I few years ago, Molly was hooked on the Wiggles, so I've seen "Fruit Salad" many times and thought the chef looked familiar, but couldn't put my finger on it.  This is nice news, since previous to this knowledge when I've thought of Hester, his 2005 suidide immediately comes to mind.  I much prefer to think of his smiling face from the CH vids and his Chef appearance in the Wiggles.  Okay, that's enough edits for one post.  Sheesh.
