If anyone can help, below is the the Australian hit Live is Life by Opus.
Around about 1989 on MTV I heard a cover version of this song by Australian ambient musical ensemble Charlie McMahon and Gondwanaland, played at a slower tempo, with a didgeridoo bass line and sung in a bass key. I been trying to find it again for years. The only other thing I remember is the video filmed at Ayres rock, with the band in shorts, beanies and tank tops stamping to the beat.
If anyone knows were I can get it, I would appreciate the help.
here is the original version
Australian group Opus from 1984

Yes, I'm starting to think it it must have been a one off for some special occasion as it is not their usual style, thanks anyway.
Well that was fun!
