Hey, that’s MY answer! So, you were born in the spring of 1955, eh? That’s sort of wierd, the part about Australia not even existing when we were born. “Davy, DAAA-vy Crockett, king of the wild fron-tier!!”
US–Neil Sedaka, “Bad Blood”

US: “Let’s Hear It for the Boy,” Denience Williams
UK: “The Reflex,” Duran Duran
Aus: “Footloose,” Kenny Loggins
Well, he has awful taste in music anyway.
Wow! Me too (to the day).

Probably something by the Andrews Sisters or Al Jolson, but let me check…
Hmm. Winchester Cathedral by The New Vaudeville Band. I’ve honestly never heard of it (I’m sure it’s on YouTube though).
