Biography:
Skyhooks was an Australian rock band of the 1970s, sometimes classified as a glam rock band, although this is mainly the result of the band's flamboyant costumes and makeup.
The band shocked conservative middle Australia with their outrageous (for the time) costumes, lyrics, and on-stage activities, leading to seven of the ten tracks on their first album being banned from commercial radio. Much of the group's success derived from its distinctive repertoire, most of which was penned by bassist Macainsh.

Jukebox in Siberia
Verse 2
In the land of the midnight sun
Rasputin’s having so much fun
Trotsky, Marx and Lenin too
They’re all drinkin’ at the bar
Kruschev, he’s there lookin’ cool
Michel and Bresnev, shootin’ pool
Ivan’s up from Gorky park to
Hang out with the Czar, at that
Chorus
Bridge
E
When the needle hits that forty-five
A
All of Russia starts to jive
B
When Chuck Berry Rings that bell
B7
You know the revolution’s alive and well
Solo
Verse 3
Well deep beneath the polar ice
The Yankee sailors who dressed up nice
Take the sub up to the top so
They can get on down
Well if you’re CIA of KGB
They might let you in for free
There’s a red star on the door
And you can hear the sounds
Of balalaikas ringing out
The Beatles singing Twist and Shout
I love the west, I love their beer
I’m so glad Glasnost in here at that
Chorus
Outro
