Hey Little Girl - Icehouse

Icehouse? I'd forgotten all about them. An ex girlfriend used to work for a copywrite company when Icehouse were known as "Flowers". They got involved in a legal dispute with a band of the same name. After many tantrums and threats, they changed their name to Icehouse. I lost count of the times Iva Davies called in the middle of the night in a strop. He needed a wetnurse not a publicist! He had a reputation in the music industry as being a pain in the arse.

I expect he's a postman or something now?!
