Wave the white flag: #3 "Black and White" INXS (1983)

I have previously used “Black and White” but I like this song by the greatest Australian group not named AC/DC. “One day- my life is out the door Next day- you show me what it’s for One day- I think I know myself Next day- You leave me on the shelf” INXS was formed in Sydney in 1977 by the Farriss brothers (Andrew, Jon, Tim) and it was charismatic lead singer Michael Hutchence taking the group to great heights. From the album “Shabooh Shabooh,” “Black and White” was written by Hutchence and Andrew Farriss and among their first singles released in the US. The song reached #24 in Australia and uncharted in the US. However, “Black and White? received heavy airplay on alternative radio so INXS rode the new wave to prominence.
