Swoons in music reaction videos

It's also easy to assume that shared musical worlds are universal, but they're not. As @Cacatua_Galerita implied, every Australian of a certain age knows the shouted pub response to the Angel's 'Am I Ever Going To See Your Face Again?'* I really doubt that that's the case on the dance floors of Europe, the UK or the US. I don't think I've heard Folsom Prison either, but I can tell you all about the three prison songs that Cold Chisel wrote, as well of course the famous Paul Kelly song about Christmas in gaol.

Gah, can't believe I forgot to include Paul Kelly in the list!

My partner and I do a daily "pick the song from the first few seconds" game, and I'm perpetually outraged to see Divinyls and Midnight Oil listed in the "One-Hit Wonders" category.
