[DocReasonable]

This song wasn't originally by Johnny Young -- it was done by the Strangeloves in the USA, who, coincidentally, pretended to be Australian! But this is a great version, despite the creepiness of the guy.

[ManFromMelbourne]

Wonder if this guy`s been over to the Philipines since his arrest there in the early 90s for suspicious behavior.

thats beat has been used in a number of songs over the last 40 years

[KateMagnay56]

Listen to the first few chords of the The Kills 'Cheap and Cheerful' . They sound just like the first chords of this great song. Wonder if Johnny Young knows about it?

ahhh the days when they really sang

[XxmorespotxX]

Short Stack had to do this song for the Aria Hall of Fame 

[mattrdvs]

I heard the announcer of the 2010 Aria awards saying that this song was actually the second top selling single of the 1960s in Oz. I always put older songs in the context of their times...gr8 shindig!

[Sexpistols100]

very repetitive

[flynnyboy100]

Saw Johnny with Ray Brown and the Whispers, Tony Barber and Glen Ingram(the singing butcher from Willagee, he had that Skye Boat Song) at the Pagoda a few years back, just awesome! I thought Johnny would have been at Long Way To The Top! Listen to him every morn on 6IX, a real Gentleman!
