Hi cathos,

Could this be the song?

Let's work, be proud
Stand tall, touch the clouds
Let's work, let's eat
Let's live in ecstasy
Man and woman, be free
Let's work, kill poverty

Let's work, be proud
Stand tall, touch the clouds
Man and woman, be free
Let's work, let's work
Get down in the dirt and let's work
Get down in the dirt and let's work

Best regards,
Rainbow

Clarification of Question by cathos-ga on 22 Oct 2004 16:46 PDT

it's not the song 'let's work, be proud', sorry rainbow. Thanks anyway.

Hi Cathos,

I believe I have the answer.

It sounds like "Let's Cook" by Australian indie band "Mental as
Anything" (aka the Mentals). It's off the "Cats & Dogs" album which
was released around 1981 by Festival/Mushroom Records.

For more details, check out the http://www.festivalrecords.com.au/

The lyrics:

Let's Cook
Let's cook
Let's cook
Let's eat
Let's eat
Let's growl
Let's growl
Let's work
Let's work
 
etc ...

All the best,

Thanks J C I think this is right! I remember it now, and it fits with
the Australian context. Do you know where I can get a CD of this?
THanks Cathos

Hey Cathos,

Hurrah!

I've found the Mentals website, and it looks like you can still buy it.

Unfortuneately, now I have that song permanently stuck in my head ...

Thanks very much for your work on this, J C. You've answered my
question, so you should claim the fee (however you do this!). Sorry
you've got the song on the brain. ; )Thanks for your help
cheers
