Australians Love Boning To The Cantina Band From Star Wars

When you’re getting it on with your other half, do you put on some smooth tunes – or are you one of the people that have made the Cantina Band song from the Star Wars: A New Hope Soundtrack by John Williams the top track Aussies add to their Spotify “sexy times” playlist?

I love this fact far too much. I have never felt more patriotic than I do right now. I’m just so proud of you all. You’re all such giant nerds and I love you all so much.

As expected, love-song aficionado, Ed Sheeran, took out the top Valentine’s Day song spot in Australia with “Thinking Out Loud”, while Sam Smith and John Legend battled it out with old school crooners Elvis Presley and Elton John for a place in the top five.
