Going Down Under

Typing in a chat room one day I met a chick from Tasmania. She was quite vivacious and gay, (Kylie Minogue, only brainier). I taught her several new terms, but what I said might have shocked her. She asked, "Can computers spread germs? I'd better call the Flying Doctor!" And I said Do you come from a land down under, where women know, and men blunder? Would the sexes survive asunder? I don't know, but it makes me wonder. I said, "I can show you Devon, or even Rome or Paris." You want a stairway to heaven? Sorry -- I'm not Rolf Harris." She said she'd loosen her stays, If I didn't sully her or bully her. She said, "I'm always looking both ways, just like Natalie Imbruglia." And I said Do you come from a land down under, where women crow, and men thunder? Would the sexes survive asunder? I don't know, but it makes me wonder.

Hahaha, I love that song! Love Minogue (from a distance), did not love the TV series (too young to remember lol) and not really entertained by Rolf Harris haha.

LOL Your awareness of my obscure cultural references is actually quite freaky!

Very clever use of a Men At Work song; well done.
