Molly: Do Yourself a Favour is the soundtrack to the two-part Australian miniseries Molly, which tells the story of Ian "Molly" Meldrum, an Australian music critic, journalist, record producer and musical entrepreneur.
The soundtrack features three CDs and a whopping 60 tracks. The songs tell the story of Molly's remarkable life. The first two discs include the songs featured in the mini-series. The third CD is a bonus disc, tracks handpicked by Molly, including some of his favourite pop songs.
The album features the key characters in Molly's story, including Skyhooks, Sherbet and John Paul Young, as well as many of the international stars that have Molly to thank for their first chart-toppers, including Blondie, Duran Duran and Billy Idol.
The soundtrack features some of Molly's memorable record productions, including Russell Morris' "The Real Thing", The Ferrets' "Don't Fall In Love" and Supernaut's "I Like It Both Ways", as well as contributions from close personal friends Elton John ("Kiss The Bride" and "Your Song"), Lynne Randell ("Ciao Baby") and Kylie ("Locomotion"). And it's filled with songs that recall classic Countdown moments, such as Cold Chisel's set-busting "My Turn To Cry".
Molly jokes that many of the song titles tell the story of his life, including "Most People I Know (Think That I'm Crazy)", "Cheap Wine", "I See Red" ("and I mean Red Symons"), "You Just Like Me 'Cos I'm Good In Bed" and "I Like It Both Ways".
"But if just one title sums up the era," Molly adds, "it would have to be [Skyhooks'] 'Party To End All Parties' - we had so much fun, and it was a great time for Australian music."
The mini-series chronicles the rise of Molly: the celebrities, the parties, the international trips, behind-the-scenes politics and, of course, the unforgettable music.
"It's a surreal experience watching your life on screen," Molly admits. "For me, it only really makes sense when I listen to the music, the songs that are on this soundtrack."
All it takes is one song to bring back a million memories.
