Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. 'The Days of Pearly Spencer' (1968)

Answer: David McWilliams

An Irish one-hit wonder, probably a little ahead of its time.

2. 'Bombora' (1963)

Answer: The Atlantics

A classic Australian surf instrumental!

3. 'The Unicorn' (1968)

Answer: The Irish Rovers

The Irish Rovers had a lot of quirky, folk-type songs, and this was their most successful.

4. 'Try To Remember' (1969)

Answer: The New World Trio

First of a string of international hits for the Australian group who later became 'New World'.

5. 'Pictures of Matchstick Men' (1967)

Answer: Status Quo

Barely recognisable as the same blues-rockers of later years, this is a great piece of psychedelia.

6. 'I'll Never Find Another You' (1965)

Answer: The Seekers

A number one hit for this group who passed into Australian 'folk'lore.

7. 'The Rise and Fall of Flingel Bunt' (1964)

Answer: The Shadows

Little known fact - The Shadows were called 'The Drifters' until 1959, when they changed their name to avoid confusion with the other 'Drifters'.

8. 'It Mek' (1968)

Answer: Desmond Dekker

One of three huge hits for Dekker, the others being 'The Israelites' in 1969 and 'You Can Get It If You Really Want' in 1970.

9. 'Cheryl Moana Marie' (1969)

Answer: John Rowles

Great New Zealand cabaret singer, still sounds good 30-odd years later.

10. 'Under the Boardwalk' (1964)

Answer: The Rolling Stones

I believe this was only a hit in Australia for Mick and the boys.
