News to Me!

Ever hear a song, and for whatever reason, you think it's an old song, when it is actually new? I experienced this phenomenon previously with "Black Horse and the Cherry Tree", and now with the song "Walking on a Dream" by Australian duo Empire of the Sun. I could have sworn that it came from the soft rock mecca of my childhood, the 80s, but no. This year. I realized this only today.

Knowing this, and spotting many resemblances, I have now concluded that they're a Flight of the Conchords rip-off, but that won't stop me from downloading the song, because I've heard it a few times today and it's in my head.

Wow, I wonder why I thought they were an 80s band?
