Fun trivia:
Barnesy, Leo Sayer and myself all live within 300m of each other.
They act as though they don't know me, but I know otherwise.

Another easy one/two, arguably this was part of the best sporting PR exercise to date in Australia - which happened mainly by chance friendships and coincidence regarding the specific artist's involvement..
Song 1:
Some guys got lips that you can't help kissing
And some guys got a smile you can't resist
Song 2:
Each time you leave me I start losing control
You're walking away with my heart and my soul

Song 1: What You Get is What You See - Tina Turner
Tina Turner and the ARL promotion.
It all started late 1988, when then-NSWRL boss John Quayle's assistant, Nicky Braithwaite, happened to be best mates with Roger Davies - who happened to be an Aussie bloke who was a huge rugby league fan - and also coincidently was the manager for US rock queen Tina Turner.
Phone calls were made, things progressed, offers were accepted, agreements signed. And most importantly Quayle ignored the doubters, which included some on his board reluctant to fund a media campaign, asking how an American/Black/Women/Singer could possibly be successful promoting Australian Rugby League..?
But Quayle boldly pushed on and in 1989, Turner's TV commercial featuring "What You Get Is What You See" changed the direction of rugby league in Australia.
The follow up with this campaign was "Simply the Best", which Turner also recorded with Jimmy Barnes, their one and only recorded collaboration.
For those interested, here is an excellent short 7 min doco on the above - and below the collaborative STB version with Turner, Barnes and Diesel on Guitar.

The simply the best marketing campaign is still the most iconic one I can think of. That song makes me think of rugby league.
The afls “I’d like to see that” with unbelievable by EMF is a close second.

Hahahaha snap.
Clue: Batman’s car
It's actually my walkout song when I make my boxing debut (I'm 40 and still think it's likely)
Yeah it's been done though. Actually this next song was nearly the Rocky 3 theme over Eye of the Tiger
Try to be best cause you're only a man
And a man's got learn to take it
Try to believe while the going gets rough
That you gotta hang tough to make it

Random post: dunno if it was a repeat but SBS screened "The story behind the songs" Madonna edition, its on Demand.
Was really interesting just focusing on her start in NYC and Holiday, Like a Virgin and Material Girl.
That whole series in general is fantastic, i recommend highly
