The Boys Light Up is the debut album from Australian rock band Australian Crawl and contains such hits as the title track; Indisposed, Downhearted and Beautiful People. The album reached #1 and spent an incredible 104 weeks in the charts.
The Title Track contains the invented word "dorsetted", invented purely to rhyme with "corsetted". The vernacular/slang of this track is somewhat similar to that used by some Australians, but is over done.
