What you say is correct but why leave in Red China and omit Selena Alabama? i would have no problem if they omitted both or neither. Marketing involvement I would expect. When I was in China I played a DVD of Australian music and I had forgotten that it included a small piece of film from the Ti'ananmen Square incident (Russell Morris's Real Thing). No one batted an eyelid at it even though most, especially a couple of policemen, knew what it was.

[baird55aus]

I guess times change. When McGuire sang it on Spicks'n Spekcs Red China was changed. It never sounded like Selma to me. I knew about Selma and the march to Montgomery ( my family name by the way). I just thought they had been a little subtle.

I do think dropping the reference is too PC when leaving in Red China. I lived in China for four years and Red is certainly the colour on national day with thousand of red national flags being flown

[StaticTremor]

@baird55aus I don't mind the "in your own backyard" line, Selma Alabama was topical when the song was written, but most people under 30 would have no idea what it meant nowadays.

As for the "Red" it refers more to communism, as in "The Reds" from back in the Cold War period - this song was written in 1965 which was pretty much the middle of the Cold War.

[baird55aus]

What this "In your own back yard" rubbish what happened to "Southern Alabama"

[Drew1749]

@baird55aus It was actually Selma Alabama. Their song they can change it how that want. Although Yes I like Selma Alabama better. It makes a stronger point. Research what Selma Alabama is.

Grant teaches me at TAFE, best teacher ever.

[AlKezer712]

How many bands did a song with the same name as this. Cause this ones better.

[Doccaau]

Go the Jets. Used to love seeing these guys live.

Anyone get an ad for Korean Air come up in front of this? Random ad generating computer thingy has a sense of humour.

[DrRockable]

awesome, they were a sweet band

[dwgarred]

does anyone remember them when the core of the band went by the name "Aspect"?

Tremendous now and awesome then.

[foxvthor]

this is prety much my fav song from this time its true as and the beat is perfict

[LegettHall]

The Aussies have been kicking the collective world’s rock-n-roll butts since the 70s. Rose Tattoo, the Screaming Jets, the Angels, and of course, (transplant) AC/DC.

Airbourne, the Jets are newer versions, and Hell ‘N Diesel is the newest I have heard.

American rock is just flat dead.

Thank God I, an American, have access to “pub rock” due to the Internet.

How can one not enjoy Rose Tattoo?

[darkendeth]

@LegettHall
