Jimmy & The Boys were an Australian shock rock and new wave band, active from 1976 to 1982. They pioneered the use of shock theatrics in Australia with an act that revolved around vocalist and contortionist Ignatius Jones and transvestite keyboard player Joylene Thornbird Hairmouth. They had mild chart success with a cover of The Kinks' "I'm Not Like Everybody Else" and scored their only Australian top 10 single with the Tim Finn penned "They Won't Let My Girlfriend Talk to Me" which was supposedly written about an inmate in a mental institution. The group recorded two studio albums, Not Like Everybody Else (November 1979) and Teddy Boys Picnic (July 1981) and in 1982, shortly after issuing their live album In Hell with Your Mother, they disbanded.
Graham Parker (born 18 November 1950) is an English singer-songwriter, who is best known as the lead singer of the popular British band Graham Parker & the Rumour. Despite only moderate commercial success, Parker's energetic performances - along with the wittily class-conscious spirit of his debut album Howlin' Wind - preceded the arrival of punk rock and new wave music. In addition, his quirky-blue-collar image is often believed to be a major influence on the public persona of many British musicians, most notably Elvis Costello, Paul Weller and Joe Jackson.
