The
annual - as in two consecutive years - Down Under Hour Christmas
show, combining a mish-mash of Christmas-themed songs, some music
that acknowledges summertime down under, and some that just seems to
fit the mood.
Intro:
Roulette - Dom Mariani and the Majestic Kelp, Underwater Casino,
2003.
Santa
Swapped His Sleigh For a Surfboard - Craig Stewart, beyond which I
don't know anything else, except I like his true-blue Aussie tone.
I
Hope You Get Laid For Christmas - Damien Cowell's Disco Machine,
featuring Liz Stringer, from 2015.
Spend

in sunny New South Wales.

soundtrack to the surf movie Morning Of The Earth. The movie came out
in 1972 but the music was recorded in 1970.
