It was released in October 1982 I believe...
I do not remember all of the lyrics, but i can tell you one part that has stuck with me for - how many years?
You do the math....
"I said, "Do you speak-a my language?" He just smiled and gave me a Vegemite sandwich..."
I never knew what "Vegemite" was... I had never even seen it...
Well, on a trip to the "World Market", I found it quite by accident. Here is a photo...
Now, was I brave enough to buy it and try it? No. Will I try it in the future? Probably not.
But, with the lovely Internet age, I was able to look it up! GOOGLE Babee (I still ain't no BINGer).
Vegemite is a dark brown paste made from used brewers' yeast extract which is a by-product of beer making! It is said to taste salty and slightly bitter - not unlike beef bouillon. In Australia they spread it on sandwiches, crackers, toast and etc.
MMMMM, sound enticing?
Nope - didn't tweak my interest either...
