Was the "Thong Song" slightly less cheesy in Australia because to them it was about a sandal?

We have a pretty thorough understanding of American slang, so if anyone thought the song was about footwear, well the filmclip would have dismissed that idea!\n\nThe song sucked. Period. No matter where in the world.

it is also possible that Charmed is more popular in Australia then the U.S..  There have been a lot of American shows and British shows that have been more popular outside they're respctive countries.

You bring up a very interesting, yet valid point. Thongs are a form of comfortable underwear that most women wear in order to avoid those dreadful pantylines, but these days trends have turned them into sex symbols. Sure a thong is sexy, but they have become a provactive type of clothing. Girls can wear them at any age (except I would say under 15) as long as they are wearing them as underwear and not as a form of attracting the wrong kind of attention.

Agrees that Gerbabooee is a peanut.  Everybody in Torquay in Victoria, Aust. is still jumping up and down.  I even spilt my saki.  I love the Japanese - a little bit of pressure and they fold like cheap alumininium lawn chairs.

I believe it's originally from the movie "A Cry In the Dark" with Meryl Streep, when the dingos in Australia attacked the baby.  This was a very tearful movie.  But I must say, that in the Seinfield episode when "Elaine" said "The dingos ate your baby" to the obnoxious woman, with her Aussy accent...it was hilarious!

you mean "On an Island". It's decent and far behind the quality of e.g. "The Division Bell".

I guess there are still a few people out there who prefer to listen to music with some semblance of creativity, and watch videos that don't revolve around cars, bikinis and hotpants. \n\nApparently they thought so too at the Athens summer Olympics.

No...though there was the whole "are they dating or not?" scenario going on in the late 80s early 90s. It wasn't helped by them releasing the duet Especially For You, which played up to the whole notion of them being an item. \n\nObviously their characters married in neighbours - Scott and Charlene's wedding is a and always will be a classic Neighbours moment

A lot like it is now minus cellphones.\n\nFashion was completely different, of course. \n\nTry watching "The Breakfast Club" & "Sixteen Candles" for research to see if there differences you notice.

not really since it shows australians as being basically pretty stupid

No man, they don't. To them it is whiny. It might be different if they didn't hear it all the time on TV and in movies. Now most western english speaking countries are desensitized to the American accent...it has lost its novelty. Quite the opposite for the pomes and ozzies when they come to the states. Man, what a pantydropper that is. Just not fair.

Yes. everytime that horrible programme came on when I was a kid it got switched off and I went out to play footie with my mates.\n\nI hated it and your question has revived bad memories. \n\nYes I can sing the tune.. I remember the badly animated guy with the badly animated guitar... that was usually the point I switched it off.
