Was Mama Told Me Not to Come a better song than Down Under?

Motorik

Kick Henry Jackassowski
What do you reckon? I'm gonna go with 'Down Under'. No disrespect to the mighty Three Dog Night though.
 
Land Down Under by Men at Work? I'd go with that one. Unless we're talking the original Randy Newman version. That might be a tie.
 
Down Under is far superior. In fact, that entire album is a masterpiece—a wonderful start-to-finish headphones listening experience.

Is that a Vegemite sandwich?

In addition to brewer's yeast, vegemite contains concentrated extracts of onion, malt and celery. Vegemite also is made up of salt and several different types of Vitamin B (thiamin B1, riboflavin B2, niacin B3 and folate).

Both great songs!

I've always gotten a kick out of the 3DN song, but if I was going to learn to play one it would be LDU for sure.
 
Wow, hard to say. 3 Dog Night song came out in 1970, and I heard it a lot. MaW song came out in 1980 and later it was everywhere.

1970 3DN release 2 albums. One Naturally which had Joy to the World on it and It Ain’t Easy, with Mamma Told Me Not to Come.

Down under is a song I heard and listened to. Didn’t buy the album, wasn’t a fan. 1970, I was 7 years old and music was making an impression on me and it was around that time I received my very first record player with 2 stereo speakers and I was the music king of the world. Both MTMNTC and JttW got a lot of rotation.

On the other hand MaW never got played on my home stereo in the 80’s. Catchy tune and it never got turned off once it started to play on the radio.

I like 3DN more.
