Ticket Giveaway Contest: Kate Miller-Heidke

Austrailian singer-songwriter Kate Miller-Heidke is playing the Habitat on 6/30, and thanks to Sony Records, I have a pair of tickets to give-away for the show!

Kate had a big hit with a song that went double-platinum and went to #1 in Austrailia.  What was the name of that song?
