De Bumpers ‎- Wini Wini Punk - Telstar 2609 - 1977

The best thing about this record is definitely the sleeve. The song starts out with some gang vocals say something to do with punk, then quickly disappoints, turning into an oom-pah tuba, Hawaiian slide guitar song sung like it was meant for a singalong TV show with the little ball bouncing from word to word. It's actually a cover of Wini Wini Wana Wana, a Yves Roche penned Hawaii novelty song. It appears that the Bumpers performed this song on television and it looks like their interpretation of a punk look was to wear makeup and have messy hair.
