Saturday Night - Cold Chisel

♫ The path on which I'm bound
Rather than the things I leave behind

I've got the keys to the city
Baby
I can feel my luck
I got two days' money

No other band could have captured the essence of saturday night like this

Ned Kelly on horseback in the foreground in silhouette whist behind is a representation of the main street of mansfield in Victoria. the land is orange, the sky yellow representing the dryness and heat

6 Bewitched

♫ and outside the streets are empty
there was no time then
and now there's plenty

the Bizarro album finally appears, this is a big highlight. the epic song of infatuation has many, many memorable guitar moments and just misses the top 5.

Indisposed - Australian Crawl

♫ I've never seen a face so green-a
he looks a-like the cat's dinner

Can't really articulate why this makes the cut in a very tight field but it does.
