** "The Real Thing" is a better example. The band had a dozen or so people write a list of a hundred songs for them to potentially cover. They selected "The Real Thing" because it was the only song that appeared on every list. It had already become a black sheep hit for Russell Morris and even had it not aged badly in the more than 30 years since its original release, its semi-intentional goofiness was a poor fit for Midnight Oil. It only sounded weirder for their attempt to make it sound like a song they could have written.
