I think Bob Bolton is a little unkind to Nic! OK, his version was Anglicised, but Sassenachs trying to emulate a Scots accent can be cringe-making, and at least "Penguin Eggs" brought the song to a wider audience than it would have had confined to the Antipodes.

I wish I had a pound for every time I've heard it sung at a session or a gig - come to that, I bet Harry Robertson's estate does too!

Furthermore, it made a lot of people look up Harry Robertson's other songs. Found this site Whale Chasing Men which might be of interest.
