Apparel

This program centres around all kinds of clothing. There are songs about boots and shoes – Nancy Sinatra’s These Boots Are Made For Walking, Traffic’s Hole In My Shoe and KC and the Sunshine band with Boogie Shoes.  Plus there is a nod to previous fashion trends such as Short Shorts from The Royal Teens and Gerry Granahan’s complaint about the sack dress on No Chemise Please. There are two songs about raincoats; Fifties singer Marion Marlowe sings the haunting The Man In The Raincoat and Aussie Bryan Davies throws his Raincoat In A River. Legendary Aussie group Skyhooks tones in with Women in Uniform.
