It’s no secret: Australians are really good at sport. So I don’t understand why so many athletes decide to tarnish their good reputations by launching singing careers.
Paul “The Chief” Harrogan recently scored a top 10 hit with this Spandau Ballet inspired song “That’s Gold.” Just because it was a hit doesn’t make it any good. While this may be terribly corny, I can forgive him because it raised money for children’s charities.
Anthony Mundine wasn’t helping any good causes when he released “Knock You Out.” The song just gave The Man a chance to big note himself even further. To be fair, musically this isn’t a bad effort. His rapping’s a bit weak, but Joel Turner does enough to cover that up. Just make sure you listen to the words for a really good laugh.
It may have been a big hit in India, but cricket legend Brett Lee’s “You Are The One For Me” is just tragic. The cheesy film clip, those lyrics, the questionable singing talent make this worth watching for all the wrong reasons. Listen out for lyrical gems like “I know I’m different, I’m not from here, I know I’m not an Indy … I’ll make you laugh, I’ll even learn some Hindi.”
Just think yourself lucky that I’ve spared you from the musical offerings of Mark “Jacko” Jackson, Warwick Capper, and members of the Brisbane Broncos.
