We all use our senses to enjoy music, so I thought it was only right to celebrate them back with a list the would get our senses working OVERTIME!
This list represents the most successful singles on the Australian charts since 1950 that mention one of the five senses in the song title – hear, smell, taste, sight/see and touch.
