“What About Me” by Moving Pictures

"What About Me" was the song that put Australia's Moving Pictures on top. Taken from their debut album, Days of Innocence, it held number one on the Kent Music Report for six weeks, finished as the country's second-biggest-selling single of 1982, and won Best Australian Single at that year's Countdown Music Awards. It was their first number one, and as it turned out their only one.

Guitarist Garry Frost wrote it with Frances Swan, Alex Smith sings it, Charlie Cole handles keyboards and brass, Ian Lees plays bass and Paul Freeland drums, and Charles Fisher produced. The success at home earned it an American release, where it climbed to number 29 on the Hot 100, and it came back for a second run on that chart in 1989.
