Check out guitar George, he knows all the chords
Mind he’s strictly rhythm he doesn’t want to make them cry or sing
They said an old guitar is all, he can afford

When he gets up under the lights to play his thing

And Harry doesn’t mind, if he doesn’t, make the scene
He’s got a daytime job, he’s doing alright

I didn’t realise that Vanda and Young where referenced in Sultans of Swing.

Should put up a better pithca…

Young, along with fellow Easybeats founder Harry Vanda became one of the innovators of the Australian music scene from the late 60s on. And was responsible for the first 5 AC/DC albums, of which Angus Young was George’s little brother, and helped shape AC/DC into the powerhouse Rock band they became.

And although The Easybeats were only around from 1964-1969, Friday On My Mind is still considered one of the pivotal songs of the 1960s, and via reissues over the years, revealed that The Easybeats were, even with this enduring hit, a highly underrated band at the time.

Fats Domino has also checked out. I actually thought he died three decades (or more) ago.
