Hmmm...

We don't seem to be getting any nearer the parody version sought by duellingbouzoukis ...

It just struck me that I much regret not chasing up, at the time, a good parody of Botany Bay - heard way back when The Selectors, a band I played with back in the '80s and '90s did a gig for North Sydney Temple Emmanuel (liberal Jewish) ... presumably arranged with our Guitarist Eric ... by his Dad.

In one of our breaks, we were summoned back to the stage to accompany Eric's Dad and a friend doing their parody Singing Tooraly, Ooraly Lie Oy Vey! - and very funny it was, too. I obviously allowed too much of a "purist" streak to stand in the way of chasing up a copy - and now regret it!

Just a few more thoughts on a much-parodied song.

Regards,

Bob
