The D-Generation were a bunch of smart university types that were training to be doctors and lawyers and decided to forego surgery and create comedy after appearing in their university revue...or is that the Monty Python team?? Anyway they are still enjoying life as the "Working Dogs".Back in the 1980s the D-team put together a small comedy track called "Five In A Row" which parodied 5 Oz singing artists. A little later when the applause died down they went back and did "Five More In A Row".
All up, with both being Top 40 tracks, they made enough money to keep themselves going (just) and to keep the lawyers (real ones) from issuing them with writs on behalf of the following artists:
Johnny Farnham
Jimmy Barnes (Cold Chisel)
Little River B(l)and
Kylie Minogue
James Reyne (Australian Crawl)
INXS
Dragon
Darryl Braithwaite (Sherbet)
Kate Ceberano (I'm Talking)
Peter Garret (Midnight Oil)
Here for download is a non-stop Tom Mix 12" version of both tracks "Five In A Row" and "Five More In A Row". Both tracks are taken from long deleted CDs.

Have you heard the b-side of the original 'Five in a row'? - it's called 'Pissweak quiz show sketch' and has always been a quirky fave of mine.
