One of my favourites is "Khe Sanh" by Cold Chisel. Love that song. First heard it in a bar in Adelaide in 1991, didn't manage to get a copy on CD until around 2000 when an Aussie girl at work got her family back home to post a copy over for me (internet shopping was in its infancy then (at least for me) and the record stores I tried in the UK hadn't heard of Cold Chisel)
