I just know you are all going to bring your A song for this round I can't wait to hear what you all do. To keep the fun happening while we wait I am going to put another Trivia song out there again for any contestant (even the ones watching now) to try. There will be no points this time, just lots of laughs. Just got to think up a Trivia question that Teddypossum/Pocketcage/Spiritofmusic won't get in the first three words haha

This song was #1 in Australia during the years of COUNTDOWN 1974-1987. I am going to use picture clues. You can call out the answer when you think you know it (It might pay to type it in the thread too hehe) If you make an incorrect guess you have to sing the song when it is revealed. The first one who guesses correctly AND sings it is the winner. NO POINTS just for fun. All contestants can join in not just the TOP 10 :)
