The call of a Kookaburra is the go-to sound effect used for films and TV shows set in the jungles of South America and Africa. One small problem, they are native only to Australia and New Guinea.

Similarly the frogs found outside Hollywood studios make the famous 'ribit' sound. They are only found on the Pacific coast but movies use them for frog noises everywhere. Most frogs do not make that sound but because of Hollywood's use of the same sound file people think it's a common call.

Sounds very much like a Opel Insignia CDTI refusing to start with a fuelling problem a lot of the time

Kookaburra is a simple, four-bar tune. Men at Work were found liable for copying two of these bars. Almost 30 years later they were sued. By people who didn't own the copyright when their hit was release. :mad:

When Colin Hay plays it live these days, he omits that part. When you think about it, that copyright case was bizarre. Dragged on for years too. Hay blames the stress of it for the untimely death of his father and MAW flautist Greg Ham.

When you think about it, "Land Down Under" is a classic. Poking fun at Americanization, warnings about overdevelopment and the western fascination with "enlightenment" on the hippy backpacking trail of the 70s and 80s.

Great song.

It is, but I suppose the line about 1916 might mislead people.

The middle name of the father of the man who wrote Waltzing Matilda is the same as the surname of the man who wrote the anti-war song The Band played Waltzing Matilda, which fades out with an extract from the original. Andrew Barton "Banjo" Paterson was the son of Andrew Bogle Paterson, a Scot who emigrated to Australia in the mid-nineteenth century. Almost a century later, Eric Bogle, another Scot who had emigrated to Australia, wrote The Band Played Waltzing Matilda and entered in the Brisbane National Folk Festival songwriting contest in 1974. It finished third.

I always thought that the phrase money laundering because you put dirty money in one end and received clean money at the other end. Apparently this is not the case. It originated with gangsters like Al Capone who businesses like laundromats that were cash only. they would add their ill-gotten gains to the takings of the laundromat and the extra profit this generated was now legitimate money. They even paid tax on the profits.

Ecuador is not Mexico :pac:

The main reason for this is that the Earth bulges at the equator, giving it an extra 20km or so of distance to the centre compared to the poles.

Is Ecuador a mexican country?

Also, in March 2001, while he was on a holiday trip to Kenya, the pilot of his private plane fainted. Atkinson managed to maintain the plane in the air until the pilot recovered and was able to land the plane at Nairobi's Wilson Airport.
