Idlers

Overview

Idlers --- undefined

Hans Poulsen wrote and sung Australian adverts in the 1970s. Examples: "Are your McLeans showing", "Amoco Nice Clean Petrol". Idlers were a brand of comfortable shoe. This was a promotional disc. The song is about his inner conflict, and his yearning for truth to prevail as he questions the accuracy of the name "Idlers", arguing that people who wear this brand of shoe are in fact very active people and who are indeed not at all idle.
