Mrs Duck's recent catastrophe, especially the way she described it in the thread title, reminded me of a song.

First of all I have to say I have no idea who wrote or sang the song. I have it on a tape of mixed stuff I must have taped off the radio years ago and never bothered to write down any details. So, my apologies to the authors/performers and hopefully someone else (probably Aussie) will recognise it and post the details.

It's called "Stole M'Car" and is sung in an Australian Aboriginal "accent", so there may be a few words or phrases you may not understand. Translations provided on request.

It is to the tune of a pop song called "How Bizarre".

STOLE M'CAR

Got my brothers in my back,
got my brothers in the front
and we're cruising down on Fenner Street
in the hot, hot sun.

We pull into the KFC
goin' to get a feed.
Pour out of the Holden car
cos' we feel in the need.

Five minutes later, piggin' out
full up to my eyes,
go back to the parking lot and "owww"
some bugger stole m'car

Stole m'car
Stole m'car

Ow bro', I was really pissed off
no-one knew just how I feel.
So we went lookin' for the wanker
who stole my cool wheels.

We went into the cop shop,
talked to the police.
Said "Ow, Mr Copper, bro',
some bastard - stole m'car"

Stole m'car,
Stole m'car.

Now Mr Policeman (Mr Policeman)
we were in KFC, man (in KFC, man)
and the next time I looked around
the next time I looked around
the next time I looked around
someone had pissed off with it.

Jumped into the cop car
went for a cruise around.
Now keep your fellas eyes peeled
for an HQ Holden, coloured brown.

Man, just then we saw it
parked outside the pub.
"Oww, Mr Copper, ow there it is,
pray, that's the one!"

We went into the pub
and we make some enquir-ies.
Saw a fella at the bar
with my bloody car keys.

I said to the copper fella "There he is."
So I smacked him in the head, and then
I read him his rights, bro',
cos' he - stole m'car

Stole m'car,
Stole m'car.

Oww boy (oww boy),
You shouldn't have done it (shouldn't have done it).
Cos now you are going to jail,
yes now you are going to jail,
you are going to jail,
and it serves your dumb arse right, bro'

yeah, it serves your arse right.
