"What's My Scene?" is a song by Australian rock group Hoodoo Gurus. It was released in March 1987 as the lead single from their third studio album Blow Your Cool!. The song reached number 3 in Australia.
In June 2000, Dave Faulkner said "Whenever I'm asked to name a favourite of my songs I usually choose this one, not because I think it's 'the best' but because it best captures everything I try to do when writing any song. I wouldn't change a note or a syllable of this one and I'm especially proud that it has two different choruses when one is usually enough."[2]
In January 2018, "What's My Scene?" was ranked number 67 on Triple M's "Ozzest 100", the 'most Australian' songs of all time.[3]
