"Things Don't Seem" is the first single by Australian surf rock band Australian Crawl from their 1981 album Sirocco.[1] It was produced by Peter Dawkins[1] The song features one of the band's most complex pieces of lead guitar work, thanks to the skills of guitarist Simon Binks.
"Things Don't Seem" was released in May 1981 and reached #11 on the Australian Singles Charts.
Guy McDonough re-recorded the song for his solo album, My Place, which was released posthumously in 1985, by his brother, Bill McDonough.[2] It was also included as the 'B' side to the first single, "My Place", taken from the album.[3] The original Australian Crawl version featured James Reyne on vocals.
In January 2018, as part of Triple M's "Ozzest 100", the 'most Australian' songs of all time, "Things Don't Seem" was ranked number 78.[4]
