Somehow, i don't think this clip will travel too far! A novelty hit from the last third of 1979, it says more about the Aussie larrikin, than it does about pop culture. Although a cover of an English release, 'Nice Legs Shame about the Face' with its requisite 70's sexist sentiments, was the biggest success for Newcastle DJ David Jones aka Dave & The Derros. With other singles such as 'Up your nose with a rubber hose' and 'Death to disco', a bit of satire and commentary was included in the recorded output. This single reached Top 20 nationally in Australia, but within a couple of years, the name Dave & The Derros were consigned to history. I recall enjoying the raw and scrappy feel to this song, back in the day. Like I said, Aussies and Poms may get something out of this.
