INXS

Go on and be carefree
You honestly sneak off
What? Heh heh heh heh heh
You're very cool

Santa!
Num num num num num num num
Uh! ribit!

Okay, forget about it, buddy
It's too dizzy, bizzy!
At first she's terrific
Too many reasons overdoing the psychopathic realizations
Do you seem to forgetting this?
So don't mind watching me for telling no more
You're too sustainingly threesome
Now you've come for me and pissed on me
Just watch what you say
I'm mistaken
I'm mistaken
I'm mistaken
You been to some last place then
Do you tell me everything now yet?
Ah yeah, far out!
Ah! Ah! You're cracking it down for the six strings
I don't think it's too late
AAAAHH! And I think you've done it

Nobody knows

INXS was originally formed in 1977 in Sydney, Australia as the Farriss Brothers. The lineup included the three Farris brothers: Andrew

(songwriter/keyboards); Tim (guitar); and Jon (drums), along with Michael Hutchence (lead vocals/songwriter); Kirk Pengilly (guitar/saxophone) and Garry Gary Beers (bass). They began gaining popularity playing in pubs before moving on to support other local Australian bands, including Midnight Oil.

In 1979, they changed their name to INXS and released their first single “Simple Simon” in 1980. They went on to release their debut self-titled album INXS in 1980, closely followed by their second album, Underneath the Colours, in 1981. Neither album gained much attention outside of Australia, however, in July of 1982 INXS released their single “The One Thing” ahead of their next studio album. The song began to climb the U.S. and international charts, thanks in part to music video’s heavy rotation on MTV.
