Wow, that's excellent, did not know this song was Australian. It's been swimming in my head lately.

[nzoz1976]

@ZaheedaNaheedya To be fair, it's a Kiwi song

[innybunny]

I LOVE the drummer.

[nzoz1976]

@innybunny he'd love you too, if he was still alive...

Look up 'GTK: Stewie Speer 1973' in your YouTube search and see how well loved he actually was. :-)

@innybunny

I love the drummer as well.

He looks like Stinky Pete from Toy Story III.

I remember this when I was a young school boy in the mid 1970's.

Today I am 45 and the song still jingles away in My Head.

A true musical classic.

Wish I could hold The Pen that wrote this song.

C'mon Bro, play something we all know.

@ZaheedaNaheedya test

[pieperx]

Awesome! Remarkable song!

[ZaheedaNaheedya]

@nzoz1976 You are correct, thank you for pointing that out... What is it with Kiwis?... Limited in population and yet the amount of success that comes from them so outstanding. This song is a gem... The melody, the lyrics... It's probably the first song I've heard whereby first verse is repeated as second verse... Very well done, beautiful song.

Tocava na Excelsior de SP lápor 76, e esta faixa pertencia ao LP Sua Paz Mundial da Radio Mundial do Rio, o tempo que os cariocas (sem generalizar) ouviam "música".
