Bill & Boyd - Chulu Chululu

This Kiwi duo reached #1(Bris) , #14(Syd) ,#10(Melb) ,with this song ,in June 1964 .
Bill and Boyd were a pop duo consisting of Bill Cate and Boyd Robertson from the Hutt Valley near Wellington. They were school mates at Wellington's Naenae College.
They started recording together in 1960, and relied heavily on doing covers of overseas artists' songs before the original versions made it to New Zealand.
In 1964 Bill and Boyd moved to Australia on the strength of their first Australian hit "Chulu Chululu". It was a bright, sing-along song recorded live at the Rotorua Sound Shell in New Zealand. The talented pair were quick to gain popularity, appearing regularly on TV, particularly on Bandstand, and working clubs around Australia.

Amazing You Tube, I think of an old song and find it. These Kiwis were so good too.

Great to hear this fun song from the pair of Guy who were school friends at Naenae College in Lower Hutt just north of Wellington in NZ . A grand duet they surely were

Mate, I remember my parents having this as a single (45 rpm record). I was about 8 and knew all the words. What a cracker, thanks for the posting.

Any chance of their "fell in love"? Their rainy afternoon song.
