℗ 1975
"Bony Moronie," was later included on Hush's fifth album, "" (released in November 1975). The B-side, "Rocking Gypsy King" was taken from the band's fourth album, "" (November 1974).
Contrary to what the label says,‘Rocking Gypsy King’ is not the same version that appeared on their album ‘C’mon We’re Taking Over’. Instead it is a re-recorded version that later appeared on ‘Nothing Stays The Same Forever-The Best Of Hush Volume 1’ released in 1976.
Released on 19 May 1975, "Bony Moronie" was soon afterwards given a memorable live performance on the "Countdown" music program. Australian musicologist, Ian McFarlane describes the band's appearance on that show as "one of the defining moments of Australia's 1970s pop legacy" (ctd. "Encyclopedia of Australian Rock and Pop or Rock and Pop"). As a result of it's "Countdown" exposure, "Bony Moronie" was given heavy rotation on many Australian radio stations. The single peaked at No 4 on the Australian charts (August), and according to the Kent Music Report was the country's tenth-highest selling single for the year (ctd. No 79, 29 December 1975).
"Bony Moronie" (the correct spelling as per Larry William's original 1958 release) is spelled "Boney Moroney" on.
