Your Average Australian Yobbo was the debut album released by Australian singer/comedian Kevin Bloody Wilson. It started out as just a collection of rude songs on a tape which he sold at performances at pubs and clubs around Australia, and by mail order. 22,000 copies of the cassette, Your Average Australian Yobbo, were sold this way. The album was later transferred to vinyl in 1986 and then re-released on CD in April, 2002.
Famous quotes containing the words average and/or australian:
“But the whim we have of happiness is somewhat thus. By certain valuations, and averages, of our own striking, we come upon some sort of average terrestrial lot; this we fancy belongs to us by nature, and of indefeasible rights. It is simple payment of our wages, of our deserts; requires neither thanks nor complaint.... Foolish soul! What act of legislature was there that thou shouldst be happy? A little while ago thou hadst no right to be at all.”
—Thomas Carlyle (1795–1881)
“Beyond the horizon, or even the knowledge, of the cities along the coast, a great, creative impulse is at work—the only thing, after all, that gives this continent meaning and a guarantee of the future. Every Australian ought to climb up here, once in a way, and glimpse the various, manifold life of which he is a part.”
—Vance Palmer (1885–1959)
