Gleek the GreekAUDIENCE
And I think if we had a referendum, we had a vote.
Gleek the GreekAUDIENCE
and you put this to the people of Australia, if you look up the Seekers' I Am Australian, you remember I Am Australian, the Seekers song?
Graeme HughesHOST
Yeah.
Gleek the GreekAUDIENCE
Does anyone, you remember that?
Eric GrothePANELIST
Very singable,
Gleek the GreekAUDIENCE
yeah.
Gleek the GreekAUDIENCE
100%, and it's like, if you look at the Seekers, some of the verses in that, man, that explains Australia, where it started and the history of where it goes.
Gleek the GreekAUDIENCE
I mean, I encourage people to look up that song, the Seekers, I Am Australian, and then...
Tony McManusHOST
Yes, they were.
Tony McManusHOST
I think people often get confused between Peter, Paul and Mary and the comparison, because they're around about the same time, to the Seekers.
Tony McManusHOST
For example, the Seekers never really had a hit.
Tony McManusHOST
In fact, I'm not even too sure that they ever sang it.
Tony McManusHOST
Puff the Magic Dragon.
30 MINS LATER
Tony McManusHOST
$750.
Tony McManusHOST
So, Chris, you say 500 and no socks.
Tony McManusHOST
No, I think socks are back, aren't they? The Seekers in America, Georgia Girl, was number one in America because they didn't do as much touring there, perhaps weren't as popular in the day.
Brendan JonesHOST
Well, who else is there? Well,
Amanda KellerHOST
it could be Keith Potka from The Seekers, for all anyone knows.
Amanda KellerHOST
Hans, how many composers do you know, Brendan? You wouldn't even have said Hans Zimmer.
Brendan JonesHOST
Tom Walker?
