Wiggly Larvae
I have vague recollections of really liking a song by Australian band The Cockroaches when I was a cherub, but for the life of me I can’t remember what the song was called. So I’ve been exploring YouTube hoping to stumble across it, and found the following clips you might find interesting.
Why would you find them interesting? OH, ONLY COS THEY FEATURE A COUPLE OF FELLOWS YOU MAY BE USED TO SEEING WEARING COLOURFUL SKIVVIES! Also, the clips are amazingly dated and sort of fit in with our Idiot Eighties Moments theme this week.
Hmmm, I don’t think any of the above songs are the one I happened to adore as a kid, although there’s a small chance it was Some Kind Of Girl. I dunno. Did The Cockroaches have any other huge hits?

It seems pretty clear that bright colours and active stage antics all carried over to the Wiggles.
my computer is l to the a m e, and wont download the plug in that lets me watch those videos, so i dont know if its there, but is the song you’re thinking of called ’she’s the one’? my dad took me to seethe cockroaches at thebarton theatre when they played with either icehouse or 1927.
