In June 1999, Custard did shonky covers
of 10 songs. Triple j listeners were asked to collect the names
of the 10 songs and then send them into the Shonky Songs Competition
with the hope of getting Caroline Tran and Custard out to their
house for the night.
Shonky Songs stopped being played Friday
18th June.
Competition closed Friday 25th June (at 5pm).
The winner was announced the following Monday night during Super
Request (because Caroline was away on Friday when it was meant to
be drawn)
Margo from Wamuran (near Caboolture, Qld) won! Lucky girl!
Here's the list of songs.
- Your Woman - White Town
- Like A Virgin - Madonna
- Romeo & Juliet - Dire Straits
- Fire - Pointer Sisters (Bruce
Springsteen)
- The Jack - AC/DC
- Hot Legs - Rod Stewart
- Alphabet Street - Prince
- How Deep Is Your Love - The Bee
Gees
- What's Your Sign - Alex Chilton
- Back To The Wall - The Divinyls
A good mailing list which
was discussing the Shonky Songs is the unofficial
Custard list which any Custard fans should join.
I'd like to give a very
special thankyou to everybody who has helped with this page! (Including
the 50 or so people who helped confirm song titles.)
