“Dancing In The Storm” by Boom Crash Opera

"Dancing in the Storm" comes from These Here Are Crazy Times!, the second album by the Australian band Boom Crash Opera, and Warner Music Australia sent it out in March 1990 as the record's fourth single, following "The Best Thing". It's big, bright pop rock, and its second life came through Australian sports broadcasts, where it turned close to ever-present, with the Australian Football League licensing it for years.

That staying power showed again in January 2018, when Triple M counted it into its Ozzest 100, the station's countdown of the most Australian songs ever. Farnan, from the band, has said he's proud their songs live on in the wider culture, and that nothing matches the big communal moment of playing this one at a festival.
