"Errol" was the second single off Sirocco, Australian Crawl's 1981 album, and it's a potted life story of Errol Flynn, the Australian-born actor, from a surf-rock band with an eye for a yarn. James Reyne and Guy McDonough wrote it, Peter Dawkins produced, and the credits spread the guitars around: Simon Binks on acoustic, electric and slide, Guy McDonough and Brad Robinson also on guitar, Paul Williams on bass, Bill McDonough on drums and percussion, and Reyne on piano.
The single climbed to number 18 on the Australian chart in October 1981, backed with "Easy on Your Own", which Binks and Robinson wrote with the actress Kerry Armstrong, who was married to Robinson. The video was shot on Queensland's Gold Coast, and in 2007 Triple M listeners voted it the band's third-most-popular song.
