their zany stuff was brilliant and their attempts at mainstream were often appalling.
Sometimes I think Tim Finn didn't quite realize how off the wall he actually is. He seems to have spent his life struggling to be accepted as normal (which his brother achieves effortlessly because he's well, he's Neil). Tim is somehow tragically flawed but that is precisely the source of his brilliance. Without him I doubt Neil would have ever have had a career in music.
It is interesting that what is arguably Crowded House's best album - Woodface- is the one where Tim joined the band.
They sound a bit like ELO, a band I have a love/hate relationship with.

Hey Felix. I don't see a similarity in sound to Cloud Cult myself. I like both bands' music but CC uses a lot of classical string instruments where SE use mostly synthesized sounds. Perhaps you mean in enthusiasm and a carnival-like quality to the music? An interesting comparison.
I'm only familiar with the Cloud Cult songs on RP, and among those there are several that have many beep and blips and electronic/synthesized sounds. Many folks have some strong opinions on that very element of their music - head to the comments page on those songs and check it out.

Man...this is probably blasphemy but I best know this song from one of my daughter's Wiggles videos. Their cover isn't bad, come to think of it...
Yep, great stuff! Love this song! Even the version Tim Finn performed for the Australian kids show, the Wiggles: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qMMXsptE4p4. For RP purposes, however, I'm glad you're playing the original!
This looks like the text output generated by collecting several sets of prose into a statistically linked word list, then starting it on a random word pair and letting it run along. Generally the output mirrors the summed content of the starting prose, but it is completely lacking in coherency.
WTF are you talking about crokyJoke? Just some happy sounding tune from the talented Finn brothers & co. In this respect it is a very nice, very good pop song!

Bill please play bold as brass or something a bit whackier from these guys.
