Mic was born into a family of vaudeville theatre and opera. In the 1970s, together with his brother Jim Conway, Mic founded the Captain Matchbox Whoopee Band. To their surprise it became a cult phenomenon, recording seven records, two of which achieved gold status. Mic also joined the legendary Pram Factory Theatre in Melbourne, creating Soapbox Circus, where he was ringmaster, musician, juggler and acrobat. In 1978 Soapbox became the now world famous Circus Oz of which Mic was a founding member.

About this track...
When I was a young kid, I had a fascination with old novelty songs with funny titles and this was one of the first 78 records I ever collected, by the Debroy Somers Dance Band. Many years later it would become a hit for my band, Captain Matchbox Whoopee Band.
