I just really don't want to know about the mating rituals of river rodents (well maybe some of the ones down at Tikki Lagoon in the Delta ).

I read this was genuine, but haven't been able to find the song.

"If you leave me, can I come too" is by the Australian group "Mental as Anything". A very respected group but they do get into self-parody.

It was the B side of "It's A Woman's World". I actually have the vinyl of this. It is a fun little song that still is etched into my musical memory.
