"The Generation Gap" was a single by Australian rock group Hoodoo Gurus. It was released on RCA Records in 1988 as a single-only release. It was written by Charlie Craig, Betty Craig, Jim Hayner[1][2] and was a cover of Jeannie C. Riley's 1970 country song. The B-side, "Jungle Bells" was written by Dave Faulkner.[1]
"... we persuaded Rick Grossman to join, contributing his tremendous bass skills ... Almost immediately we were in the studio recording a single-only release "The Generation Gap", a song originally recorded by Jeannie C. Riley (of "Harper Valley PTA" fame). I changed a couple of lines to suit myself but the ones about grown-ups getting stoned were from the original." - Dave Faulkner.[3]
The single represents the earliest recorded performance by the most stable version of Hoodoo Gurus.
