"Thank you Australia for a number 1!!!!"

Such was Michael Hutchence's introduction of "Original Sin" during a 1984 concert in Australia.

Just wanted to mention that this song is SLAMMIN'!!! Featuring the production wizardry of ex-Chic member Nile Rodgers, "Original Sin" helped to boost INXS' success and popularity, taking them beyond their pub rock scene roots and into superstardom at home and internationally.

Hutch's vocals and lyrics are thought-provoking and work well within the rock-mystique feel I think this song possesses.

A definite classic imo!





"You might, know of, the original sin
And you might, know how, to play with fire
But did you know, of the murder committed?
In the name of love, yeah, you thought what a pity...

Dream on white boy
Dream on black girl
And wake up to a brand new day
To find your dreams are washed away..."

Ohhhh, you guys ROCK!!! Big TIME!!! INXS were one of the greatest bands as far as I'm concerned. Skilled and talented players, but their success was in no small part due to Michael Hutchence's incredible charisma and showmanship as well. He was one of the few singers who could write from the heart and sing live and SOUND great! What a voice!

Heaps o' thanks all. Love ya'!
