The name aardvark comes from a word meaning "earth pig." Although the aardvark, endemic to Africa, shares some similarities with the South American anteater, the two are not related. The last survivor of a group of primitive ungulates, the aardvark could more accurately be called a near-ungulate that has developed powerful claws.

Oz Music Wednesday - 19th July 2006

Roocast — Wed, 19 Jul 2006 12:00:00 +1100

Former Savage Garden lead singer Darren Hayes has married again. Only this time, it’s to a guy named Richard. Quite frankly, we’re really not surprised and not that there’s anything wrong with that anyway. But let’s face it. Did you check out his leather pants in ‘The Animal Song’? We knew long ago but really, who cares? Our gaydar detected it in 1999, so there.

Savage Garden really were the Wham! Of the 90’s. One pretty singer, one quiet one that didn’t sing. A string of big hits, two albums, then disbanded. A disappearing solo career and now the inevitable conversion. And I’m not going to stoop so low as to mention public toilets. Oops, just did...

But Andrew Ridgely never got to marry a member from Hi-5 and for that we are eternally envious.

OMW is filmed before a live studio audience.

Nabilone – Welcome to Australia, Wolfmother – Woman (Mstrkrft Remix), New Holland Drive – Now Or Never, Nadjeska – Eyeballs, Sleepy Jackson – Dream On, Young and Restless – Satan, Youth Group – Catching & Killing, Legends of Motorsport – Mess it Up, Special Patrol – Changing Emily, Augie March – One Crowded Hour (Live)
