Our favourite dad-approved tunes to keep the drinks flowing.
‘Eagle Rock’ – Daddy Cool
Not only does this one keep a tempo that’s easy enough for Dad to shuffle along to on the dancefloor, it’s probably one of the biggest Australian hits from his 1970s heyday.
‘If Your Dad Doesn’t Have A Beard, You’ve Got Two Mums’ – The Beards
Sorry, we know it’s Father’s Day and all, and some dads just can’t stomach the stubble. Too bad.
‘To Earth With Love’ – Gay Dad
Did you know Robert De Niro has a gay dad? Not that there’s anything wrong with that, but when Robert De Niro Sr. is the only other result on the first page of Google search results, you know you’ve come up with a pretty original band name. Good tune, too.
‘Plastic’ – Drunk Mums
Because there’s no better sign that it’s Dad’s big day than Mum getting on the drink while all the kids’ attention is elsewhere.
‘Cats In The Cradle’ – Harry Chapin
Remember when Homer Simpson went to all that trouble to be a better father to Bart? When he visited the National Fatherhood Institute, then built his son a soapbox racer only for Bart to abandon it in favour of Martin’s faster model? Tears of sadness.

‘Camberwell’
Big Scary’s Tom Iansek might not be a familiar name to most dads, but this cut from his fantastic new album is a bloody good’un. See, Dad, not all the kids’ music is rubbish!
