"Somebody's Trying to Tell Me Something" is a song by Midnight Oil drawn from their 1982 studio effort "10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1". The song more or less disappeared after the tour for the album ensued.

Run-out groove

However, the song is noteworthy on vinyl versions for its use of the run-out grooves. This was one of the few times in popular music overall, certainly in Australian music, that this was done. The final scream of "breaking me down" is held on the run-out groove, so it appears to go on forever.

Since this could not be re-created on the CD, the vocal was held for about 40 seconds and faded out.

It should also be noted that this use of run-out groove did not appear on all vinyl versions.
