"Come Anytime" led the charge for Magnum Cum Louder, Hoodoo Gurus' fourth album, in 1989, and it catches the band at their most irresistible, with a chorus that sticks after one spin. Dave Faulkner, the group's singer and guitarist, wrote it alone, and years later he said it was romantic about something unromantic, and that the reverse worked just as well. David Thoener mixed it.

It peaked at 27 at home on the ARIA chart but went all the way to number one on Billboard's Modern Rock Tracks in America, and Australian viewers later got a fresh dose of it as the theme to the TV show Thank God You're Here.
