According to this ad in a well-know American music magazine, in the early sixties Australia is still a land of... sheep-rearing people.
"Click go the shears" is a traditional Australian folk song. Not surprisingly, it is about men shearing sheep. Surprisingly enough, someone used this concept to draw the reader's attention into the growth and popularity of American music in the Australian market.
Talk about stereotypes. And gotta love the photo of the factory -near Sydney- at the bottom of the piece.
