music: the serious moonlight

Me: I saw the video for ‘Let’s Dance’. I didn’t know it was set in Australia

MrSquib: It was set in Mexico

Me: Australia

MrSquib: Mexico

Me: Australia

MrSquib: 5 dollars says it’s Mexico

(He saw the video two decades ago and I saw it three days ago. Yet still he persists)

Me: You’re on

    Well it’s definitely not set around my way.

    Mind you, I did see him perform in a cowshed in the middle of a Devon field.

    [They try and call it the ‘Westpoint Arena’]

    That’s very diplomatic of you Wart but as anyone can PLAINLY see, that video is set in Oz

    I’ve been to that pub a few times. It’s in Carinda, a friendly little town in north-central NSW about 150 km E of Bourke. People still talk about the video.

    Hi Joe - thanks for that

    People in the town I grew up in still talk about the time Dooper Dog made an appearance (a TV person in a dog costume)
