JONA LEWIE - Stop the Cavalry - No 2 Countdown Australia.

[andyprovo]

Oh dear

[lucidmoment71]

"cuz duncan is my mate"?? please tell me thats the next line

[jakesy13]

lol...of course...coz duncan is me mate!

[transonicbuoy1]

Aust still ranks as thick, or ignorant, as pig shit. Plenty of groups were fun, but OK, only one were of quality: Go Betweens. And you ignorant buggers overlooked them.

[LonaJewie]

Cavalry - One my countries faves. Goes down great with a curry and tinny

[HughieAndRalf]

Yup. And a few naked gay shirt lifters it seems from your vid.

Mind you, Jona will get a stiffy if comes across it.

[HughieAndRalf]

LonaJewie - You must be a mate of the pom Bum Meister. Bit of a disgrace for an Ozzie bloke.

[LastWillnTesticle]

Want to know what Jona's been up to?

He was at theUkulele Festival this year and luckily I got to put up the vids.

Those comments we read about him being dead are not true.

[TheUnbridledTruth]

Jona Lewie is a fave with Muslim terrorists. Their logic sees Stop the Cavalry as anti-west propaganda. Whether Lewie intended this is a moot point.

Seems far-fetched? Consider this. Assad Sarwar, al-Qa'idas explosives quartermaster and logistics operator for the 2006 plot to bomb multiple Air Canada, United Airlines and American Airlines flights used the alias JONA LEWIS - a composite of Jona Lewie and Lewies real name JOHN LEWIS. He is a fan on account of Stop the Cavalry.

[manyhighhills]

Christ mun! Anyone can pick a name out of a phone book. How about Kylies song Red Blooded Women being a fav for female suicide bombers? Have you thought of that? You have a vivid imagination fella. But I bet Jona wished he never wore that cravat, or whatever it is called, maybe.....

[DOM1878]

I think that cravat is the one the US cavalry wore if I remember correctly all those westerns I watched with my dad growing up.

[Kaneoism]

I know what your saying here, but you have to understand that sometimes the picture looks beautiful untill you see the burning bones at the edge of it ! We shouldn't be at war with the muslims, its one way for the government to take their oil, rake in the money and plan a war against china... the yankys will be getting worried about chinas bank account being at a very reasonable state

[GaryGlitterIsGod]

Jonas Cavalry and Garys Another Rock n Roll Christmas the two best Xmas songs EVER! Jona and Gary Rule Christmas!!

[JimmyMcTavish]

Nice one.

Want to see Jona in funny clobber? I've just uploaded Love Detonator. Worth a look :)

[countdownlanes1]

Theres a new programe on the way for later mid 2009. If you recall COUNTDOWN REVOLUTION on ABC tv well thats what the programe will be like. Oh though the name of the new music show live in the studio will have its name. That i dont no as of yet. I work for the ABC network australia. I am not a programe manager but theres something i do more then just that., So it looks like the come back shows will be heaven for these who used to love COUNTDOWN shows.

[manyhighhills]

The last thing I would want to do is have a drink with Duncan. Ozzies should stick to swimming than making records. Even Finn from kiwiland shows them up.

[donkey1888]

Both Finns live in Aus . ever wondered why?

[drownedforest]

To educate Ozzies?

[manyhighhills]

Joke- why do Ozzies swim so fast?

Have you seen the size of the sharks off their beaches......

[montbrehain]

remember like it was yesterday , makes me feel so old ;-( great though MS

[warwickwas]

Kiwis at 4 and 5!

[CowboyFromHell66]

number nine sounded brilliant!! haha

[lameface12]

Dude they were great back then. Songs today will be considered shit to ppl like you in da future.

[RudeBoyRodders]

He's a PLONKER.

[DoctorRathod]

It's that horrible Jona and the Wail,lets all run out of the shops together,as soon as it is played.

[HarryCurrie]

This song has made it again, into our top ten of TERRIBLE XMAS SONGS TO TOP YOURSELF TO...Well done Lewie keep it up.

[loxaXcracker]

i really like that song :)

never heard it before but now that i did i think its great!! :D

[oberesnetz]

We have great band in Hamburg name Deutsches Blut. They better version of this song with better words abweichend homosexuell. Make it faster und stark. Weltkrieg kommt terroristen moslems gegen.

[jaredgetsacookie]

I've never heard this song...

Never really got over to America.

[ninelivecat]

Cool kind of like a time warp

[HarryCurrie]

One of those awful songs, that every year, you become so sick of it that you feel like topping yourslf.

[SexyPolishGirl]

Jona is not the gay.He did give me a brilliant time once back in Holland.

[BonaJonaLewie]

Hi Jona. Like your new moniker. Think Sexypolishgirl will fool the boys? lol

[BonerDeluxe]

Jona shagged me when he came over a while ago. You are not the You Tube Gordon who Jona talked about are you? He didn't say anything about polish girls - but I know he is partial to Polish boys! I think UR right BonaJona. Give Jona a kiss for me when you see him next. :)

[AKALucifer]

Lies are funny.

[TobyHodgekinson]

Makes one so proud to be British. The B.N.P are promoting this yule tide song to celebrate the home coming of some of our brave boys from Iraq this Christmas.

[naganokumas]

Hughieandralf, Stop your 'woofta' garbage.

To the rest of you, appreciate that this was a listing of the top ten in Australia at the time.

Wasn't it good that such a list could happen?

[HughieAndRalf]

Give a bloke a fair crack mate! Oh no you can't, you're Japanese. No,fair do, I've met a few of you lot in the knock shop ... very nice people :)

[HughieAndRalf]

The mans a woofta. He must have been thrashing his own pork sausage over here. Aussie wooftas are very thin on the ground thank god.

[oberesnetz]

This man is a pervert disgraces army uniform

[BobDanvasWalker]

MOZART must be turning in his grave.JONA LEWIE HAS STOLEN HIS RONDO IN D MAJOR.

[dylansharmonica]

It is publicly known that it's based on a member of the band attempting to play Rondo in D Major during an interval in recording and they came up with Stop The Cavalry.

Stop trying to make out you've given us some new fact! :-S

[BonaJonaLewie]

Interesting. You confirm the fact that the tune was a direct copy from K382. You say this knowledge is in the public domain - can you tell us where?

[dylansharmonica]

Jona Lewie was interviewed about it about a year after the release.

[dylansharmonica]

Well I think so.... I know it's in the public domain.

[Mbantua]

How brilliant are Split Enz. Went on to become Crowded House.

[ashita100]

some bas songs out that year

[DoctorRathod]

Oh no it's that horrible Jona and the wail.Lets all run out of the shops as soon as it is played.

[BrettMarvin]

Ex-Brett vocalist/keyboard player made good. We're still all mates. Looking forward to Lewie's frequently threatened new album :)

[BonaJonaLewie]

Beaten into number 2, right behind Slim Dusty. Mind you, that is exactly the position Jona enjoys!!

[BonaJonaLewie]

An interesting footnote:

What people don't realise is that 'Mary Bradley' was a 1980's South London term for a gay lover, after the London transvestite icon Mary Bradley.

[tranmere66]

For 27 years I've thought he sang 'Mary proudly waits at home'!

[fastboy380]

cavalry ones

[HughieAndRalf]

Lewie was popular in OZ becus Cavalry sounded like Rolf Harris's Two Little Boys, but not as good.

[plusone19]

Interesting top 10, all the performers are male but #9 (Dr Hook) and #8 (John Lennon) mention females in the titles. Also half the songs are by Aussies!

[evileyedkitty]

Oh, to think having a drink with Duncan was better than John Lennon! Aussie Aussie Aussie, OI OI OI !!!!

[BrylCreemBert]

Bring back the 50s and 60s... utter crass

[germanicelt]

Maybe cause it was a transition period between the punk rock era and the Duran Duran style of the 80s that was to come.

[missmadbitch1]

i like this lmaooo :S ah well

[jontheid]

Adam and the Ants still sounds good though.
