    Jon & Dolly if you want to see how good of a singer “Shirl” was then you should check out “Shirley Strachan soundcheck - Living In The 70’s (Live 1988). He is so casual, he just walks on stage, hand in pockets and wearing thongs, belts out the song for a soundcheck then casually walks off again. Just a brilliant voice and talent. RIP Shirl the Curl.

      Thongs, by the way, are Aussie footwear, not underwear, although I wouldn't be surprised if Shirl wore the underwear variety. Check out Shirl's neighbourhood- a kid's tv show from the 80's. Not really for kids, it was for the adults having to suffer through kids shows.

    A lot of Skyhooks early songs were filled with double entendres and were also Melbourne suburban based. This song is very late in their career after original bassist Red Symons had left the group. Their earlier stage presence and costumes made them stand out from the crowd during Australia’s great Pub Rock scene.

    Shirl left the Skyhooks in 1978, and started a kid’s show called ‘Shirl’s Neighbourhood’ in 1979. Skyhooks tried another lead singer, but their popularity dwindled and they soon disbanded. Shirl’s tv career also didn’t last long. Skyhooks reformed in 1989, with Shirl back as the lead singer, and released a song called ‘Jukebox in Siberia’. They were huge in Australia in the mid to late seventies, and their biggest hits were: ‘Living in the Seventies’, ‘Horror Movie’ and ‘Ego is not a dirty word’

    Just to let you know... In the original film clip (not this one) It was filmed at around 2 am because that was the only time everyone was available. It was also filmed in one take and the last 7 "Women in Uniform" phrases were sung in ONE breath. We here in Australia miss Shirl😪

I loved Skyhooks as a young teenager here. lol red Symons is also in Skyhooks, normally wearing all the makeup, he was the cranky judge on Hey Hey It's Saturday in one of the segments on the show, hard to believe Red was wild in his youth, if you don't, know Hey Hey it's Saturday and Red Faces segment from the show, you should check it out as well.

    So the thing with Skyhooks, they were really on the way out when this song came out. It was their last hit. It is by far the rockiest thing they ever put out. If you want to see this band in its prime you need to give songs like Ego, Horror Movie, and my personal favorite Baldwin Calling a spin. They have a bunch of other great tracks like 'Smut' which would probably get you banned from UA-cam lol. Strachan left Skyhooks in 78. Did that kids show from the next 4 or 5 years. Then did a lifestyle show in the mid 90s

    Graeme "Shirley" Strachan was lead singer of Aussie band Skyhooks. They were a leading Melbourne band with a unique style which loosely fitted into Glam rock genre. Many of their songs were based around local places and culture. As the 70's ended the bands popularity faded. Shirley had a job on a kids TV show, then on a home renovation program (he was a trade qualified carpenter as well). Shirl was a very personable and friendly guy who was very popular. The band's lead guitar Red Symonds went on to be a successful breakfast radio host. Shirl was killed in a helicopter accident. The bass player Greg Macainsh is a board member of the Australian Performing Rights Association and is an intellectual property lawyer. The entire band was very talented and unique.

    Are God Skyhooks what a great Australian band. They just give everyone the bird and the public love them. Their first Albums Living In The 70's had 6 out of the 10 song band on the radio for sex or drug references. Red Simons can't remember what guitar he played but had a talent segment on TV's show Hay Hay, it's Saturday called Redfaces, where he tried to be the dignified person, all I could remember was he once wrote and sang a song called Smut about masturbating in a picture theatre. All their song would be fine on radio today.
