Wikipedia:
Sirocco was Australian Crawl’s second album, and their first to hit #1. It was produced by Peter Dawkins (Air Supply, Billy Thorpe, Dragon, John Farnham).
The album was named after Australian born actor Errol Flynn’s yacht and included a song released as a single called Errol.
Oh No, Not You Again was written and sung by Guy McDonough, the band’s rhythm guitarist, and is about “two young lovers who lived on the coast” whose relationship is disrupted by the man spending his nights “out on the town”.
