Don’t Dream it’s Over is such a classic song that last night it featured in not one but two US shows, airing at the same time on Australian TV.
The gang from Glee sang it as a stirring song of unity, airing just before 8:30 on TEN.
Meanwhile it also featured in the season premiere of Smash, by Megan Hilty as a motivational number for the ensemble, airing just after 8:15 on SoHo.

C’mon…get over the ‘across the ditch’ rivalry….I watched Glee and loved it…the other version on Smash…which I watched here…ok…….
Crowded House comprised one Kiwi, two Australians and one American. It’s regarded as an Australian band.
I wonder how that song would have gone without that outrageously over-the-top music video? The day the music died.
Why the surprise? It’s a classic pop song and I never tire of it.
Sad that so few Australians got a chance to see the Glee version last night. How 2m+ are glued to that MKR rubbish when the always delightful Glee was on.
Crowded House neither wrote nor were performing the song. And without Neil Finn’s NZ accent it sounds weird, especially with some of Ivy’s NY vowels.
It would be easier to prove Crowe is Australian (he took out Australian Citizenship even though he lives mostly in Hollywood).
That misspelling of David was actually accidental but it teams with the theme
I agree, Kiwi. Sorry Davud!
I first heard it on a long weekend in Dunedin, if that helps. I do know that Neil Finn thinks of ‘Crowded House’ as being an Australian band.
Now I’m just waiting for someone to tell me they wrote it on a long weekend in Dunedin.
NZ band, NZ song and both played on Waitangi Day, love it.
A song as Aussie as Russell Crowe anyway.
Crowded House may have some NZ-born members but it was formed in Melb.
Saw both shows and I couldn’t believe that the same song was sung in both of them.
What’s remarkable about the coincidence was that the Glee episode was aired in the US several weeks ago while the season 2 premiere of Smash only came on SoHo just mere hours after its broadcast in the US.
