Great theme of "Accents" this week. So many songs and artists to chose from but I'll offer these up. Aussie punk, country Canadian and Folky American.

The Chats - Smoko 🇦🇺 https://youtu.be/j58V2vC9EPc?si=6Qai-MlXs55trD-F

Corb Lund - The truck got stuck 🇨🇦

@DJDarren Right then, a couple of contrasting ones for you.
Fran Smith - contours. I love the wordplay and that she sings in her local accent.
Billy Connolly - If It Wisnae Fur Yer Wellies. It's Billy Connolly. I don't need to say much else.

Finally refined some thoughts from many possibilities.

Just to be entirely predictable, for instance: How about Neneh Cherry (who is Swedish but also rather multi-national), and her London cries of 'what is he liiike? YanawatImean?'

Obviously famous in Buffalo Stance, but at the time I didn't know it had first been on a B-side of a track by her husband-to-be:

My #ThePlaylistSuggestion for accents is the wonderful twang of
Ray Wylie Hubbard - Without Love

Without Love (We're Just Wastin' Time)

@DJDarren A suggestion from my winemaking brother in law. (They live in the country, forgive them!)

Kasey Chambers - The Captain. You want Australian Nasal, you got it!

@DJDarren A couple of #ThePlaylistSuggestion accent ideas. Some of these might fall into the category of novelty record. You can be the judge.

  • Gertcha by those lovable cockney chappies Mr Chas and Mr Dave

  • I Am A Cider Drinker by those lovable Somerset chappies The Wurzels

  • Ain't Going To Goa by those lovable southern good ol' boys (southern England, I believe, despite the accent), Alabama 3

  • Road Rage by Catatonia, because something about Cerys' voice on that song does funny wibbly things to my insides

Feel free to play some, all, or none. Half the fun of #ThePlaylist is choosing as much as listening!

Okay, so I just really like Hamish Hawk’s beautiful voice singing in his own accent, and I’ve had this as an earworm for a few days, and you’ve not played this song yet according to the database, which is practically a crime against internet radio:

Hamish Hawk - The Mauritian Badminton Doubles Champion 1973
