Thank you. "Ghosts" is a cover? Who did the original?

Have a look at this while you're here: Aussie football ad. I really like the series - link goes to a blog about them. I doubt they travel well though.

Ah.

Throwing in a few originals as well.

Got me.

hehehe, Linda Lyndell's "what a man" is also the original. :) Never liked salt&pepas version. :)

Oh...and Dolly Parton wrote "I will always love you", before Whitney made it the most annoying hit in the universe.
