OMC, or
Otara Millionaires Club, was a New Zealand music group. They were best known
for their 1996 hit "How Bizarre", named one of the greatest New
Zealand songs of all time by the Australasian Performing Right Association. The
full name of the band is a tongue-in-cheek reference to Otara's status as one
of the poorest suburbs of Auckland.

"Down
Under" (also known as "Land Down Under") is a song recorded by
Australian rock band Men at Work. It was originally released in 1980 as the
B-side to their first local single titled "Keypunch Operator",
released before the band signed with Columbia Records. Both early songs were
written by the group's co-founders, Colin Hay and Ron Strykert. The early
version of "Down Under" has a slightly different tempo and
arrangement from the later Columbia release. The most well known version was
then released on Columbia in October 1981 as the third single from their debut
album Business as Usual (1981).
"Weather
with You" is a 1992 song by rock group Crowded House. The founding members
were New Zealander Neil Finn (vocalist, guitarist, primary songwriter) and
Australians Paul Hester (drums) and Nick Seymour (bass). Later band members
included Neil Finn's brother, Tim Finn, and Americans Mark Hart and Matt
Sherrod.. It was the third and most successful single released from the group's
third studio album Woodface, reaching top fifty charts in six countries with a
peak of #7 in the United Kingdom. The song was intended to be part of the Finn
Brothers' unreleased 1990 debut, but after Capitol Records found the
recordings, they were merged with a Crowded House session to become Woodface.
