Kylie stays in our heads
If you've got a jukebox in your pub and are disappointed with the takings, then it is probably because you haven't included Kylie Minogue. According to the Performing Rights Society, the former Oz soap star's hit Can't get you out of my head was the most played song in UK jukeboxes in 2002. The Top 10 included some classics such as Paint it black, Layla, and Bat out of hell. The Top 10 is:
1 Can't get you out of my head - Kylie Minogue
2 Man I feel like a woman - Shania Twain
3 Losing my religion - REM
4 Yellow - Coldplay
5 Why does it always rain on me - Travis
6 Starlight - Supermen Lovers
7 Babylon - David Gray
8 Paint it black - Rolling Stones
9 Layla - Derek & The Dominoes
10 Bat out of hell - Meatloaf
No more chances to have a beer with Slim While of the subject of Oz singers, Snifter was saddened to learn of the death last Friday of Slim Dusty, 76. Who? Well, he achieved acclaim for his comic ballad A pub with no beer, which told of a stockman gagging for a bevy who, after travelling miles in the Outback searching for a pub, stumbled across one that had run out of beer. It reached No 3 in the British charts in 1957. He recorded 106 albums and his last hit was I love to have a beer with Duncan. He did much for beer drinking culture in Oz, so Snifter would like to raise a glass in his memory.
