You know how things pop into your head occasionally, no not those kind of things, but anyway, I was thinking the other night of this old Aussie group and decided to do a search on Youtube. The band is called Australian Crawl. They are a great Aussie band from the 80’s that many of you have probably never heard of.
The thing that was different about this group was the unusual way the lead singer had of phrasing his lyrics. I remember seeing a comedy skit out here years ago where they actually had subtitles under the video clip.
I haven’t been able to find that, but I thought you might like to see the video and see if you can work it out. the song is called “Things Don’t Seem”.
I have also put the actual lyrics after the jump for those that have no idea…. 
Enjoy
You think it’s goin’ alri-hi-ight, You think it’s goin’ fine gir-irl
You think there’s nothing in it for you, I hope, hope you don’t mi-ind
Gonna get you come around baby, I wanna see you through it
We-ell, not makin’any promises maybe
That’s only in the movies, movies
Things just-a, don’t seem-a, to-oo be goin’ ri-ight
Things just-a, don’t seem-a, to-oo be goin’ ri-ight
Prospects of a reconciliation, Memories of some funny conversation
Feel like takin’ a vacation, Like going to the moon, I can’t afford it
Your mother with a bird’s nest hairdo, Your brother with plenty of actio-ion
Your father’s always thinkin’ me a weirdo
I can’t get no, I can’t get no satisfaction
Things just-a, don’t seem-a, to-oo be goin’ ri-ight
Things just-a, don’t seem-a, to-oo be goin’ ri-ight
Things just-a, don’t seem-a, to-oo be goin’ ri-ight
Things just-a, don’t seem-a, to-oo be goin’ ri-ight
You think it’s goin’ alri-hi-ight, You think it’s goin’ fine gir-irl
You think there’s nothing in it for you, I hope, hope you don’t mi-ind
Your mother with a bird’s nest hairdo, Your brother with-a plenty of actio-ion
Feel like taking a vacation, Like going to the moon, I can’t afford it
Things just-a, don’t seem-a, to-oo be goin’ ri-ight
Things just-a, don’t seem-a, to-oo be goin’ ri-ight
Things just-a, don’t seem-a, to-oo be goin’ ri-ight
Things just-a, don’t seem-a, to-oo be goin’ ri-ight
Things just-a, don’t seem-a, to-oo be goin’ ri-ight
Things just-a, don’t seem-a, to-oo be goin’ ri-ight
Things just-a, don’t seem-a, to-oo be goin’ ri-ight
Things just-a, don’t seem-a, to-oo be goinc
