Story goes that Elton John was very impressed with Daddy Cool when he visited Australia, and the song Eagle Rock was said to have inspired Crocodile Rock. Ross Wilson (King Mondo in this clip) was lead singer for Daddy Cool.

This song is great, six months in a leaky boat is a real rock song too, the original was banned in the UK at one point look it up, this is better than the original.....
We got the movie for the kids years ago. But the refrain of this song just sticks in my mind. The tape wore out long ago - but I still find that refrain running through my mind at odd times.
Wow, I did not know this was an old rock song. Granted it's Australian, and I guess it didn't hit the U.S., but it should have, it's an awesome song!
Theres a great Aussie tradition you can try and start over in the states, whenever this song comes on everyone drops their pants round their ankles and dances. Happens in parties, pubs, bars everywhere!
This is awesome! Imagine grandparents learning all the moves with their 2 yr old princess. and, Ross Wilson is so nice. We saw the wiggles 3x in CA and I emailed him and he stayed as a good buddy!
My brother and sister absolutely love this video. As you can see by my screen name, I love it also. I had absolutely NO idea it was a famous song...I just liked the ring it gave, and it turned into my e-mail address I've had for a few years now.
I think it's a pretty good video. Thanks Ross for putting it on here!
It's from the Wiggles video "Space dancing". I get a laugh watching my kids dance to this, and not realising what an old classic it is. I still have the original LP of this by Daddy Cool. (just need something to play it on now).
wow! I've always loved this song (being a true-blue Aussie of course, how could I not?). where did this come from!! What a great tribute to great Aussie groups. Thanks for posting. Most enjoyable.
hahahaha. dig the red shoes. This actually sounds like what happened when john jarrett jumped onstage last sunday. Definatly the cutest version of "eagle rock" I've seen
