"Hey St. Peter" turns up on Flash and the Pan's self-titled 1978 album, and it's the work of Harry Vanda and George Young from top to bottom: they wrote it, produced it and played the electric guitars, with Young adding synthesizer and taking the lead vocal while Vanda sings along. Ray Arnott on drums, Les Karski on bass and Warren Morgan on piano fill out the room.
It's a strange, clipped little pop song, all sly shuffle and odd angles, and that synthesizer lends it an eerie sheen.
