- Jam
In the early days, the Farriss Brothers (INXS’s original name) regularly supported Midnight Oil and other local bands. At that time Gary Morris of the Oils, suggested they change it to INXS. The name INXS was inspired by English band XTC and Australian jam makers IXL. According to Wikipedia, Gary Morris said: "I saw a commercial for a brand of jam called IXL. Their ad featured a guy who said, 'I excel in all I do.' I'd recently seen the English band XTC when they toured Australia, and I loved their name: XTC - Ecstasy. In that moment, I put all those thoughts together. The name needed to be letters, but make a word. I put the IXL jam commercial together with XTC and the concept of a band that was inaccessible and I had it: INXS. - Water
References the Jetty and also the flipside of the single which was called ‘The Harbour’ - $1
In 1984 on May 14, The one dollar coin was introduced in Australia. This is the same year that The Swing was released.
