More on Throw Your Arms Around Me
Description from Wikipedia:
Throw Your Arms Around Me is a song by Australian band Hunters & Collectors.
Written by Mark Seymour, the song's underlying theme is of a one-night stand, with lyrics including "And we may never meet again, So shed your skin lets get started".
The song was first recorded and released as a single in 1985 (also appearing on their album Way to Go Out). It was re-recorded in 1986 for their album Human Frailty.
In 1990 a slower, more acoustically introspective version of the song was recorded and released for their compilation album Collected Works. The promotional video was a mosaic of all their previous videos.
A shortened version was performed by Crowded House at their Farewell To The World concert in 1996.
The song has also been covered by Australian Comedic group, Tripod, famous for their work on the "Triple J" radio Australian network.
The song was later covered by Pearl Jam, with the lyric "I will kiss you in four places" changed to "I will kiss you in 155 places" by vocalist Eddie Vedder. Neil Finn attributes this change to Vedder's having heard one of Crowded House's many cover versions of the song before hearing the original. Finn typically changes the number each time he performs it.
The comic trio Doug Anthony All Stars performed acoustic versions of this song at many of their performances, and recorded a promotional CD.
It placed 2nd in Triple J's Hottest 100 Of All Time in 1998 .
