Now this song, though loved among Crowdies was never used to promote TA in the UK, so how did it get on the Radio?
But surely, Kittybear, this was used to promote TA? It was a single, after all?

I think I would (politely, of course) disagree with you there
I would think CH would be delighted today if any of of their singles charted at 25, as did FOL
I remember an epic version of Finger Of Love on Jools Holland, at around the time of the Fleadh Festival was Broadcast on Radio 1(which also featured another great version).
In fact, if memory serves me correctly, wasn't the CH episode of Jools broadcast on the same Saturday evening as Fleadh? What coverage!! Them were the days
Polite disagreement is where it's at WD .
My memory is of an epic version on Jools of Private Universe.
Yep. I'll give you that. With the log drummers - very primal
And Mark going beserk on the lap steel. Awesome.
I still like Fingers though (he said, childishly)
Just heard Leaky Boat on the new series being shown on bbc2 Top of the Lake! Was filmed in NZ. Not technically CH but still great to hear!
I heard DDIO on local radio and was surprised. But yesterday this took the cake; On local sports show I never listen to, they end their show with a "song to take us out". Which is a joke, because they ramble on so much there's only about three measures of music.
And you know I was on pins a needles when I heard "taking us out today is CROWDED HOUSE, ... with WWYL" What an unexpected delight.
My sister could hardly wait to get home and tell me she was in the Sun Prairie (suburb of Madison) Copps yesterday, doing our grocerying, and realized the music she was humming along with was "Archer's Arrow."
Listening to podcast "Stuck in the 80s" yesterday, and they got to the mystery song part of the show where they play a second or two of a tune and listeners write in and list the artist and song. Heard about 6 beats of World Where You Live. yay.
They also have an "Oz in the 80s" segment and I'm waiting for them to cover our favorite artist(s). It's a pretty good podcast- Look it up and you'll find hundreds of old episodes covering various topics, something you're sure to enjoy. Great nostalgia factor.
While eating lunch at Corner Bakery yesterday, I was stunned to hear playing, of all songs, "Even a Child." Not the most unexpected Neil Finn song I've ever heard in a random place, but pretty close.

I've heard Even A Child on a store PA somewhere. Can't remember where now...
Yes, heard that too . I think it was a nod to Neil's birthday. Fine choice!
The neighbours are doing some renovations and so the builders had the radio on... We live quite close and so I would occassionally tune in and I heard Better Be Home Soon playing at one point! If that wasn't good enough, one of them decided to turn the radio up for it not exactly a rare song or an unusual place but quite a nice thought
I'm reliably informed that Weather With You appeared on Coronation Street earlier today. I wouldn't know, can't stand the infernal programme.
Paul H, I have friends and family who watch that show on Foxtel here in Oz and they're often telling me about this song or that song that is featured. Wouldn't put it past the producers of Coronation Street to sneak a Crowded House song in there somewhere at some stage. But you're right about the program itself! Even for Crowdie, its NOT worth suffering through an entire episode just waiting for that song.
And 'She Called Up' in the bar in Manchester Piccadilly railway station last weekend!
Last night, watching "The Leftovers" on HBO in my hotel room in the Great North Woods of Wisconsin... during a lurid party scene, DDIO drifting through the background.
On a recent trip to the US, heard 'World Where You Live' in a Starbucks on Wall St in NYC, and 'Something So Strong' coming out of a casino on the Atlantic City boardwalk. Not to mention hearing 'Chocolate Cake' during Neil's solo show in Washington DC...
Shocked me at the time, but reading through a bit of this thread, I know realise there are fans outside of Australia and NZ, haha.
KUKQ 99.1fm in Mesa, AZ is playing "Chocolate Cake" to close out my friend Leah's weekly radio show! (Surprised the hell outta me!)
Not exactly Crowded House, but this morning, in one of those woowoo moments of predawn insomnia, I tuned into Indieplex and caught the credits rolling for a movie called "Aurora Borealis." The song? Anything Can Happen.
Go figure.

I'm currently listening to a podcast "Alphabeatical" which reviews the fab four songs, one at a time "from 12 to Y". There was a reference in the "like dreamers do" episode to a dream song from the 80s (from Annie Lennox) and DDIO was hinted at two times.
Great pod. Funny and sharp hosts if you like the Beatles.
Two nights ago, my dear daughter and I heard a (male) cover of DDIO at a department store. We were singing OUT LOUD. IN PUBLIC.
Last night we were in a fast food joint and heard I GOT YOU. Hope it's a trend!
Last night at Panera we heard the opening strains of SSS and I was downright giddy! Singing in public, it's what we do.
Now my dear daughter phones me when she hears CH on the radio. Good times!
Heard Jimmy Buffet covering Weather With You on my way to work this morning. He does a decent job of it.
