destined for greatness (for three minutes)

Some music is destined to live for centuries, making their composers legendary. Some music is is destined to live on your car radio for three minutes, and forgotten the minute you reach your destination, or the next song begins. Not that there's anything wrong with that.

Along with other Australian acts who never made it across the swamp, The Sharp was one I particularly liked. (Deborah Conway and Jenny Morris are two others.)

I bumped into The Sharp on Youtube tonight and snagged this song, after trying and failing to buy the music legally at iTunes. Part of me cringes a bit at the datedness of the whole thing, but I feel no guilt playing it when cruising about with the top down on the bimmer.
