For those who’re an Australian of a sure age (*cough* like me *cough*), your mind will immediately begin enjoying one explicit track whenever you learn the track title, ‘Who Can It Be Now?’. Again in 1981 Aussie rock legends Males At Work launched their track of that identify, with the saxophone hook by Greg Ham, and sultry vocals of lead singer Colin Hay making it a world-wide sensation.
The track is lots darker than the upbeat music and vocals would have you ever assume. Again then Colin was residing subsequent door to the native drug seller in St Kilda, Victoria, and the track tells the story of how folks would knock on his door day and night time, mistaking it for his neighbour’s. The paranoia he quickly felt about all of it was unnerving. Fellow Aussie Cleo Alexandra understood this sense, and, with out shedding something of the unique, she’s toughened it up, bringing the subtext to the floor: disturbed, and barely ferocious.
Cleo brings to the observe a sure menace, and a vampiric vitality good for spooky season. Don’t miss the backing vocals by fellow Aussie legend, Rick Springfield, who’s considered one of her most ardent supporters.
Similar to the haunting observe, the music video is equally creepy. Clips of horror motion pictures and slasher flicks, reminiscent of Scream, The Shining, and Nightmare on Elm Avenue, amongst others, are edited into the clip, additional destabilising us as we hearken to the observe about mysterious knockings in the course of the night time – who can it’s now? Open the door and discover out – if you happen to dare!
