The others are correct.  I've always loved Son Of My Father - takes me back :)  You got #23 right but I did have a different artist in mind.  I thought one of the Aussies would have got it.

Hi Paul  :)  Thanks for your concern - I'm feeling a lot better thanks to a bit of #17!! ;)  which is one of my favourite Stones song.  Didn't know it was going to become my signature tune :-[

Of course, all your answers are 100% correct.  I'm glad you got Cousin Norman - I absolutely love that song.  Oh so you've heard Drummond's Daddy Cool - I think they got singing lessons from Alvin & The Chipmunks :o

Hiya Paul

3/3 for you.  I'm surprised too that "Sylvia's Mother" and "Daddy Cool" didn't go a lot earlier!

The last question is one only an Aussie would know.

It's not a song about Ned Kelly is it?  ;)

It's not a song about Ned Kelly is it?  ;)


No  :D  The singer had quite a few hits here (first with a band and then as a solo artist) before heading off to the States in the 70s.  He was a session musician over there and has only come back to Aus in the last 10 years or so.
