What are you listening to?

I was watching a few "Reactions to...." videos where Brits or Yanks listen to Oz music and react/comment on it. They haven't heard of the bands nor the singers, nor the songs.

One Yank pronounced "Jimmy Barnes" as "Jimmy Barness". Three Brits pronounced "Cold Chisel" as "Cold Chai-zil" and "Cold Chai-sil" (Chai as in the tea.) Hell's bells! They had no idea what a chisel was! With two of the Brits, when I first listened to them, I wasn't sure if they were speaking English (they were black) - I simply couldn't understand them.

But did they honour Khe Sanh?

Yes, but mis-pronounced it.

Also honoured "I was only 19" and "The Band Played Waltzing Matilda"

Would have been called rock 30 years ago, apparently it's now country..... Got played a few times yesterday morning on the way to work - might have been a bit loud
