i love this song, that seems a rock classic

in australia. I knew it by the saints and the screaming tribesmen, I have discovered that ricky nelson was the first. And now the allusions

version, perfect.

HE IS SO HOT

AAAhhh, I really like this kind of Aussie beat or polished garage rock from the 60s. My hobby is to rediscover all those great bands from that period that didn´t "broke through", It´s a fantastic musical treasure. Listen (youtube) for example to:

THE ZETTLERS and their versions of "Skinnie Minnie" and "Beautiful Delilah",

really f.....g good with a bloody driving beat.

THE GOLLIWOGS and the song "Tell me". Check up the singer....Yes, it´s him!!!

I thought that too Al... they must have been one bloke short and the gaffer had to step in at the last minute... but he looks so out of place and imagine trying to sing (or mime) amidst all that smoke these days. Personal bias aside they deserved to be more successful than they were. Guess it was just bad timing or something because Mike and Terry Hearne in particular had enormous talent (despite the terribly miming - Mike,as I recall was quite shy and they weren't used to being on the telly)

[Jeanniegw]

Seems I was a year older than you but still too young for Mike. I went to Hurstville a couple of times but in those days it sure was a trek from Parramatta where I lived then. Mike drove me home occasionally (but at that time he had a Triumph TR4A not a VW) He was always such a gentleman which disappointed me a bit... but made me admire him all the more. I'd love to track him down just to say hello but Mike Morris is such a common name & I don't even know if he's in Oz or back in the UK.

@Jeanniegw I would loved to go to the Riv at Hurstville, too, so I could get a double dose of them, but it was just too far away. I remember one night "accompanying" Mike out to his VW Beetle, and talking to him as he packed some instruments into his car. Probably wishing the pesky 16 year old would stop asking questions and just disappear. Think I may have embarrassed him buy staring at him with goo goo eyes whenever he sang The Dancer (my favourite). That was 1967.
