Displaced Dads is an Australian men's group, with some musical dads, from Townsville, in the Australian state of Queensland. In (about) 1996 they, as a one time project, cut a CD of songs, named No Child Aboard, that too many non-custodial fathers can relate too much too well. A number, but not all, of these songs are available via the Internet as MP3 files (note they still hold copyright, but the information has been made available). Listen, the songs are good -- and inspiring.
Songs from No Child Aboard
- Supression: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/manumit/files/mp3s/suppression.mp3
So when men get together, to air their common voice
To raise concerns about custody, to give children more choice
When all this is said and done, the man is seen as bad
The man is seen as a right-wing backlash, he's seen as mad
Chorus
Cause you see: Any man who opens his mouth
Is labelled as a red-neck from the south
He's a Right-wing militant chauvinist pig
On a patriarchal power trip
Yeah everyone knows men deserve to be stereotyped.- Why Why Why?: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/manumit/files/mp3s/why.mp3
- Language: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/aspa/files/Language.mp3
- I Must be Dumb: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/manumit/files/mp3s/dumb.mp3
- Mummy Where Is Daddy?: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/manumit/files/mp3s/wheresdad.mp3
- Crappy Fathers Day: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/manumit/files/mp3s/fathersday.mp3 -- this song is one that too many divorced dads know about.
- Men are all Sick Bastards: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/manumit/files/mp3s/sickbastards.mp3
Men are all sick bastards
Especially those ones who care
I think the ones who love their kids
