Dave McCormack's cornerstone songs

from Take 5 · host Australian Broadcasting Corporation

For many of us who came of age in the 90’s, Dave McCormack was a familiar voice. As lead singer of Custard, his husky voice atop some truly whimsical indie rock drew us out of the angsty guitar scene of the time; they made songs that were playful and were a beacon beaming out of the Brisbane scene. The band called it a day right after their most successful album Loverama. Dave would go on to play in other bands, he began composing soundtracks for film and television, and his voice would become familiar to an entirely new generation. Playing Bandit, the blue heeler dad in the mega hit kid’s show Bluey, that raspy tone all of a sudden filled the homes of Gen X’ers (and their kids) once again. This Take 5 is like hanging out with an old friend, one who has really eclectic and fun music taste. What a joy.ABBA – 'SOS'The Pet Shop Boys - 'Always On My Mind'Britney Spears - 'Toxic'DEVO – 'Peekaboo'Bob Dylan - 'Tangled Up In Blue'
