Information
"Pictures" was written by Connie Mitchell and Angus McDonald and came second in the Dance/Electronica category of the 2007 International Songwriting Competition.
Cover versions
"Pictures" was famously covered by the late Richard Marsland of Get This radio fame. His performance on his community TV show garnered critical acclaim from the likes of Rex Hunt, Warwick Capper and The Vengaboys, although Tony 'Andrew Bolt' Martin described Marsland's ARIA nomination as going "to waste".
Despite such stinging criticism, Marsland's cover became one of the biggest hits that summer in Australia, and the refrain of "na na na, turn off the projector" could be heard all over the country from nightclubs on the Gold Coast to the Veale Gardens in Adelaide.
