Girls on the Avenue (song)

"Girls on the Avenue" is a 1975 song from Australian singer-songwriter Richard Clapton.

[1] Initially released as the B-side of "Travelling Down the Castlereagh", the song became a hit after it was first played on Double J and then picked up by commercial radio.

[5] Clapton was happy for the misunderstanding to continue, saying, "My manager at the time simply said 'Sex sells.

Let that urban myth keep festering out there and you'll sell a lot of records.'

"[6] Clapton later said that much of the money he received from the song was because of its inclusion on a 1975 compilation called Ripper.
