Show Notes
A popular trend among the 60’s pop and rock musicians was to add some French language to songs believing that it would create a touch of continental flair. The playlist this week FRENCH WORDS includes songs that have incorporated some sound of French. Stevie Wonder, ABBA, Ames Brothers, Fontane Sisters and Australian Jigsaw have French titled songs while Plastic Bertrand and Eartha Kitt deliver their popular songs entirely in French. The Electric Light Orchestra, the Beatles and Donovan have included French verses and Labelle’s and Chuck Berry’s songs contain French sentences.
Hope you enjoy French Words.

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.
