@TheSirfurryanimalWales I’ve not heard this song before, but sounds a lot like American 70s soul, a la the Delfonics
Thanks for the share!

@Ghostinthemachine Never heard that song and it never charted in Australia.
@Gusman What’s a song that was big in Australia that never charted in North America or England?

New Zealand band - Dragon had a hit with - Are You Old Enough?
Never made the UK or US charts.
Reviewed at the time of release, South Australian music magazine Roadrunner said the song was, "Their best yet. This band continues to make superb sounding singles (this will be No 1 for sure) and continue to be the most sexist band in the country. This one, about f*cking young women and going to prison for it is their most offensive yet."
David Nichols described the song as, "essentially a paean to underage sex, perhaps even pedophilia. A glowing, irresistible pop tune, sung delectably by Marc Hunter with uncredited backing vocal from Renée Geyer, it is a virtually flawless pop record, its subversive nature being an essential element of this status."
"When we'd go on the road Paul Hewson would bring a small bag with a few clothes and a chess set. He wrote most of "Are you old enough" on a nylon string guitar out on the water in a dinghy off Magnetic Island with a couple of girls who he wasn't too sure about".
