Show Notes
Today’s songs revolve around automobiles: cars. Starting with Aussie singer Ted Mulry and his popular seventies hit Jump In My Car and followed by soul singer Wilson Pickett and Mustang Sally. Two teen tragic songs about car crashes are Tell Laura I Love Her by Ray Peterson and the number I hit for Mark Dinning Teen Angel. The Beatles chime in with Drive My Car while the aptly named group The Cars perform their big eighties hit Drive. An unusual take on the theme is our own Bobby And Laurie’s excellent cover of Hitch Hiker. The program concludes with icon Janis Joplin and her Mercedes Benz.
Enjoy today’s fabulous show, Automobiles.

Pop songs from the ANTIPODES (Australia and New Zealand) span decades of iconic chart toppers, indie pop gems and alternative rock. This week’s episode includes the four time grammy winner Olivia Newton John with Xanadu, New Zealand’s art pop group Split Enz with their melodic I Hope I Never. Allison McCallum’s Superman and Max Merritt and the Meteors’ Western Union Man are also great artists from across the Tasman. Mental as Anything’s debut song The Nips are Getting Bigger, Kamahl’s The Sounds of Goodbye along with the Go Betweens and Christie Allen serve as Australian representatives.
In this program our podcaster, Penn, takes centre stage and chooses songs they have some connection with. Many songs are associated with Penn growing up and family such as Father And Son, Cats In The Cradle and from his infancy Cradle Of Love. Penn tells stories of sadness and joy and yearning for a simpler time like Mary Hopkin in Those Were The Days.
