For those who aren't old enough to remember it, made aussie singer Robin Jolley a one hit wonder in 1972. It also has the dubious distintion of being in the top 10 worst australian songs, as voted in 2005.

It was written by two great aussie musicians, Don Mudie & Brian Cadd. Well it seems some people like this song & in fact, it is going to be used as a mobile ring tone in ............ wait for it,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,Chekoslavakia, aahhh those crazy Cheks.

Buggered if I know how in hell they heard of the song though.

I'm old enough to remember that song Mantis.Not Brian Cadd or Don Mudie's finest moment. You are right, how the hell did the Czechs ever latch onto that one. And more to the point...why?

Don't know, but the boys are laughing all the way to the bank.

In grade two I got into the biggest fight with Robyn Marshall about this song.


Robyn if you are reading this I still dont believe the song is about you.

Is truly the best, that I've ever seen. I have it on an album along with Bootleg doing the Loggins/Messina hit along with

aaaaaaaaaaaaAAAAAAAAAA
xxxxxxxxXXXXXXXXiiiiiiIIIIIooooooOOOOOmmmmmmMMMMM...........she had to have a name just the same as her mum, but a name just the same.I love when Cadd comes into singing the "a little ray of sunshine" part, I've always thought he was holding his nose by the sound of it, but props to Shorrock.Probably our best ever rock singer, (even if he is from England).

Don't you pick on "A little ray of sunshine", people have died for less.

Ronnie Charles from "The Groop" had the best rock voice, amazing considering he was only 18 when he started, I still get chills listening to his voice.

I'll inform him of that sweetie. But please don't talk of Ronnie without his "a bit too good a friend" Roger Treble.Complete pr1ck of a man, but if it all brought happiness to you my love, thats all that matters.



But I stand by my Shorrock opinion.

It's been such a raging success that the Czechs are now negotiating for the rights to other 70's Oz Classics including "The Pushbike Song", "My Little Angel", "Knock,Knock, Who's There?" "Heaven Is My Woman's Love", ""Cinderella, Rockefeller" & "World's Greatest Mum" amongst others.

 

[Timmy from Thomastown]

Positively definitely the worst I've ever heard.

Cinderella Rockafeller wasn't Australian IIRC.

But that's okay, we can substitute "The Newcastle Song" in its place.

(Edit - with Rak Off Normie sitting on the bench in case of any further pullouts).

Don't we all?

Edit - look what you have done to me Mantis, I have had to pull out my 20 Solid Hits LP and give MPMM a run.

 

[Timmy from Thomastown]

Yet you know the words.

And if it came on the radio right now, I'd sing every word at the top of my voice.

Spot quiz. Here is the track listing from 20 Solid Hits LP, put artists to all these songs (if you get some of these, particularly on Side Two, you are a genius):

Side One
You're All Woman
Sylvia's Mother
Look Wot You Dun
Gypsy Queen
Hod Rod Lincoln
Crazy Mama
Memories
Readymix Revenge
You Are Everything
Marshall's Portable Music Machine

Side Two
Beautiful Sunday
Why Do Little Kids Have To Die
One Monkey Don't Stop No Show
Precious and Few
Get It On
Everything's Alright
Can I Have My Money Back
Roll Away The Stone
I Will Return
The Juggler

No cheating please.

Hint - I think we are circa 1972 with this.

(20 Solid Hits was released on Majestic, distributed by K-Tel and was a stereo record which could also be played on mono equipment. ).

Yeah,sherbs i know it was a cover, but the version by Anne & Johnny Hawker was just so bad i just had to include it. Perhaps i could sustitute "Timothy" by Anne Hawker? Although i think your nom's will do just fine! Your nom's reminded me of that crappy song about an FJ Holden, who and what was that?

Perhaps we could include Marty Rhones "Mean Pair Of Jeans" or Mark Holden's "Wanna Make You A Lady" (or whatever the songs were called).

I think that song was a solo effort by Ol' 55's Frankie J. Holden.

Did the chouras go-In my FJ, In my FJ holden we ride, ride, ride?

Of all the things I thought I'd be reading on the internet today these two songs weren't amongst them

"Rak off Normie you and your mates I know what your up to but I'll put ya straight..."

Wasn't that also the soundtrack to a rather easily forgotten film as well?

Don't think it was local, just sound's too obvious. All i know it was a bad song.
