Wickety Wak was a comedic show band which started in 1975 at The Kuraby Hotel doing parodies of other artists, notably Louis Armstrong, Kermit The Frog, The Beach Boys, Elvis Presley and Dolly Parton. In 1982 Wickety Wak had a top 10 hit in Brisbane with their single "Moonlight Marvel". During the 1980s Wickety Wak made 14 television specials for BTQ channel 7. They were ambassadors for Expo88 in Brisbane, disbanded in 1990 and re-formed in 2006 for the Gympie Music Muster. Some of the members continued to perform thereafter. . Greg Doolan, the band's lead guitar player, died on 16 February 2017 from cancer at the age of 63. Pahnie Jantzen passed away on the 28th of March 2013 after a brief battle with cancer.
