So all I did was click on one little article from the Guardian about the Aussie anthem Throw Your Arms Around Me by Hunters and Collectors. It’s on my “songs I want at my funeral” list. Of course I had to watch the video.

Which reminded me of the time the Doug Anthony All Stars did a version of it at a charity concert in memory of a friend who had died.

Which reminded me one of my favourite television shows was Good News Week.

Oh the memories. Whatever happened to James O’Loughlin? So I duck off to google him.

Reminded me of how much I used to enjoy McDermott singing at the end of each episode.

So I ended up with a McDermott duet with Bill Bailey of Whiter Shade of Pale.

Then this.

Why can’t I remember that girl’s name? Google symptoms of early-onset alzheimers.

Now I’m wondering what McDermott is doing now. Apparently it’s art and some comedy/music performances at the Fringe Festivals.

Why doesn’t someone give McDermott a late night chat show (but only if he’ll sing at least once each show).

Of course all of this takes me back to other memorable music moments on shows I loved.

The last episode of the original Spicks and Specks for instance.

And so the time sucking vortex of the internet has captured me again in a nostalgic swirl of memories, music and really funny TV shows.

This is why I need to disable my internet access when I’m supposed to be writing.

Sigh.
