Lex, I do think Cars also should have covered Paul Simon's "Cars Are Cars."
Flotsam, I was thinking that Debussy's La Mer would be too difficult for Seals and Crofts, but a good sea chanty like "Greenland Fisheries" or "Shoals of Herring" might be good.

Nice ones MR A sea shanty would be excellent LK, and maybe to feature the latter half, what about Rain On The Scarecrow? And Little Red Corvette is another for The Cars. Frontier Psychiatrist - Pavlov's Dog Romeo and Juliet - The Romantics Halo - The Angels (an excellent Australian band from the late 70s and 80s)

ABC - ZZ Top (RIP Dusty Hill) A couple more for the Cars - Long Black Limousine and Chauffeur Blues Excellent Gordon Lightfoot suggestion from michele rose! (Paul Simon's song Cars Are Cars was a new one to me, and the rather impressive Angels were a new act to me)

I particularly liked the Stills one UW Staying with the theme ... Big Yellow Taxi - Deathcab For Cutie Im In Love With My Car - Rage Against The Machine Glad you liked The Angels Lex. They were my go-to pub band at the time. The song for which they are iconically known is Am I Ever Gonna See Your Face Again. A reowrked version of a terribly boring effort once they reinvented themselves to be way heavier, here is a 1979 version. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DLZl6vgT7HMNot long after, a very fun and boozy ((and not entirely appropriate aka rude words) audience refrain sprung up at live performances. How many times did I go hoarse as a result! Two links below also highlight the tempo at which they variously performed the song. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6jLoxp8EmoMhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j-lO3tZDKLQSo many great Aussie bands of that period.

Flotsam, did the Angels have a change of vocalist or did the vocalist have a radical change of image? My favourite Australian offerings are just about anything by Emily Barker (now a UK resident) but especially the album Dear River, Diesel and Dust by Midnight Oil, The Kick by INXS, and of course some of the BeeGees material (although at least some of them were born in the Isle of Man and a statue of them has recently been erected here). But back to the theme, perhaps Drive All Night by Midnight Oil or The Cars

No change Lex; he aged and then got quite sick. He was 67 when he passed away in 2014. I didn't know the Gibb boys came specifically from Isle of man. And I don't know Emily Barker so will check out Dear RIver. The other two are classics.
Re the theme, The Cars would certainly have an extensive catalogue. We could add Little Red Corvette, Mustang Sally, Highway Star, Heel on Wheels and lots more.
To change tack, there was an Ozzie band for a brief fleeting moment called Big Pig. What songs might they sing??
