    Just finished binging Boy Swallows Universe. Aside from it being a highly enjoyable, quirky show, this song was in one of the episodes and it immediately caught my attention. Freakin' banger, love it.

    I remember seeing this on Countdown when we first got colour in 1975 (I was 5 at the time). Fond memories.
    The song is on Skyhooks "Living in the '70s" (produced by Ross Wilson) and "RIPPER" (both albums were released 1975).

    Watched a horror movie, right there on my TV
    Horror movie, right there on my TV
    Horror movie, right there on my TV
    Shockin' me right out of my brain
    Shockin' me right out of my brain
    It's bound to get you in
    Get you under your skin
    Hit you right on the chin, oh yeah
    It's bound to be a thriller
    It's bound to be a chiller
    It's bound to be a killer, oh yeah
    The planes are a-crashin'
    The cars are a-smashin'
    The cops are a-bashin', oh yeah
    The kids are a-fightin'
    The fires are a-lightin'

    And they're all actors and fake old scenes
    Maybe you don't care who's gonna lose or win
    Listen to this and I'll tell you somethin'
    It's a horror movie, right there on my TV
    Horror movie, right there on my TV

    Horror movie, it's the six-thirty news
    Horror movie, it's the six-thirty news
    The public's waitin'
    For the killin' and the hatin'
    Switch on the station, oh yeah
    They do a lotta sellin'
    Between the firin' and the yellin'
    And you believe in what they're tellin', oh yeah
    It's a horror movie right there on my TV
    Horror movie right there on my TV
    Horror movie and it's blown a fuse

    My concern for Malcolm Young's condition has led and introduced me to so much new [old] rock 'n' roll. I saw Angel City here in Seattle in 1981, Marseille was one of their popular songs... and I wish I'd have delved into Aussie rock there and then. Better late than never.

      American radio thought that Renee' Geyer was a black woman until they saw her picture on the album cover.
      They stopped playing her on radio once they found out she was a white woman.
      Renee' fought to get her picture on the album cover to her detriment.
      The first time I heard " Birthday " by The Beatles I thought the singer was a black person.
      Of course Afro-American person is the correct term.

    • @TiffyVella1
      @TiffyVella1 2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      I noticed that! Funny as, because at the time the freeze frame was a fairly modern thing, made possible by technology, and shows like The Goodies used it often. And here we see Skyhooks faking a freezeframe rather than doing it in editing.
      It's akin to building a brick wall, and then painting a fake brick texture over it just because fake bricks are trendy.
