In this episode, we’ll explore the phenomenon of particular Aussie songs becoming even more popular and significant, years after their release. I’m calling it “The Horses Effect,” after Daryl Braithwaite’s 1991 hit, The Horses, which enjoyed a cultural revival more than 15 years after its release, and is today firmly entrenched as an unofficial Aussie anthem.

This two-part episode explores the history and merits of cover songs in Australian pop music. We resume our exploration with one of the biggest and most enduring songs of the 90s... that just happens to be... you guessed it, a cover! We then uncover the covers that were breakthrough hits for some of Australia's best alternative bands in the 2000s. And we ponder some crossover cover hits of the 2010s before reaching our answer to the question: is recording a cover song a good way to make, or break, an Aussie artist’s career?

This two-part episode explores the history and merits of cover songs in Australian pop music. We’ll try to answer the question: is recording a cover song a good way to make, or break, an Aussie artist’s career? We begin our journey with a surprisingly successful cover of a stoner-rock band, by everybody’s favorite kids band. Then we travel back in time to the 60s, where lots of white guys named Johnny had hits with other people’s songs. We meet the mighty women of the 70s, who each defined their sound with well-chosen covers. We hear how pop, disco and blues records of the past were eightiesified (is that a word?) by new wavers, models and soapie stars, and pause our journey at the dawn of the 1990s.
