Aunty Jack - Graham Bond - the song started out as the closing theme of the leftfield comedy show of the same name (you can see, and hear, the version that appeared in the show here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xs9ma5oHVbE)
But it was redone and released as a single - and cracked the the top ten on the Oz charts - thanks (possibly) to an improved arrangement with more than a nod to Phil Spector's 'little operas' idea.
I picked up the picture disc single in a secondhand record store in the 80s.

Speaking of Ben Lee I really liked 'Nothing Much Happens' when it came out and bought the single. Knew nothing about him at the time, just liked the song - paired nicely with Del Amitri's 'Nothing Ever Happens' for my vibe at the time.
