Barry Crocker

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Barry Hugh Crocker (born November 4, 1935, in Geelong, Victoria, Australia) is a popular Australian singer, with a crooning vocal style.

He sang the original recording of the theme song for the Australian soap opera Neighbours.

Crocker also has had a semi-successful career as an actor, most notably starring alongside Barry Humphries in the title role of The Adventures of Barry McKenzie and its sequel, Barry McKenzie Hold His Own. The character of Barry McKenzie gave rise to Crocker recording ribald songs such as: "My One Eyed Trouser Snake".

In 2005, Crocker was featured on the Nine Network program This Is Your Life.

During the 1990s, the rhyming slang expression, "Barry Crocker" (or "Barry") emerged in Australian English, to mean a "shocker", as in "very poor".
