    Love The Ted Mulry Gang. Saw Them Perform In 1976 When I Lived In Maryborough Victoria. Then Later On I Saw Them Reform And Play In St Kilda Melbourne With Steve Mulry On Vocals. GG

    This song takes me back to High School days - the Aussie Rock sound of the 70ies is just sheer musical brilliance.

      The original Darktown Strutters Ball was written in 1917. Just before the 1920s.
      The roaring twenties were much more fun than the 70s lol

    After waking up to this song in my head (after a dream), thought I’d replay it. After audio engineering/mix for 30 years, the ole LCR mix of guitars still sounds great and despite the vocals and bass needing a lot of work...the quality and groove is overriding the sins of the mix. Still great work boys! And no full on crap primal lyrics...

    I remember going to a community singing group with my nan in the 80s and they were singing this song. I was amazed a bunch of old ladies in their 70s to 90s were singing this song.
    It was years later I found out that this was actually a cover of a song from the start of the century lol

      Yes, you would have been surprised this song was composed as a jazz standard in 1917 by Shelton Brooks and recorded by the likes of Ella Fitzgerald, Dean Martin, Julie London, Bing Crosby, Chick Webb, Fats Waller, Jimmy Dorsey and dozens of others.

    Loved this band. Saw them play at sandown park hotel in Melbourne in early 80's and they rocked hard. Twin guitars, Marshall amps cranked up and Ted on bass and vocals with Herman on drums. Ok so they weren't coming up with bohemian rhapsody (some people make comments saying their songs all sounded the same) but who cares. What they did was damn good honest 12 bar rock and roll. We could do with more of it now days I reckon.

I loved TMG more than Sherbet and I went to every show they did together in Melbourne. Les, I am almost 62, but I would still marry you.
