Young Einstein - Motion Picture Soundtrack

Message Bookmarked

Stoopid film, but the soundtrack was a passable if seemingly arbitrary selection of hits by Australian pop combos, 1981-1987. (Mostly. The tepid Chuck Berry cover was recorded for the film--the title character 'sings' it. And I've omitted some trivial snippets.)

Serious (!) answers and recycled Simpsons jokes, etc, all welcome.

trick question, because any poll including "Great Southern Land" is no longer a poll, it's just a recognition test

"A Serious Motion Picture Soundtrack"? Geez. The Saints track was actually as late as 1988 too. It's a shambles.

The correct answer, by the way, may be The Stems. Pretty sure this was the first time I heard them as a wee lad.

Fair enough. Has Kelly been discussed much on ILM? I frequently wonder whether he's ever heard outside Australia (Where he has been ubiquitous for decades.) Shall look into it...
