THE TWELTH MAN FEATURING MCG HAMMER


#1

In February 1992, the musical single ‘Marvellous’, by “The 12th Man featuring M.C.G.Hammer”, became a Number 1. platinum single. ‘Marvellous’ was a bizarre dance/groove song that had ‘Richie Benaud and the boys’ movin’ and groovin’ with their own rap about the joys of the Aussie cricketing summer. Premier league Aussie rock heroes Jimmy Barnes, John Farnham, Diesel and Glenn Shorrock provided back-up vocals on this opus, in what some saw as a desperate attempt to ride on the coat-tails of “The 12th Man’s” success !!
