CODA: D [Muted] "That year, Santa never came." (Silent whisper) SPOKEN: "I'm sorry myself that it doesn't go on for longer. There was only a couple more left!" [End] Notes. 1."Tojo" was an 'answer song' to an Australian hit of a few years earlier, "Santa Never Made it Into Darwin" which had been released to raise money for the victims of Cyclone Tracy which had almost destroyed Darwin on Christmas Eve, 1975 (sic). During World War II the Japanese army invaded New Guinea but failed to reach Australia thanks to the heroic resistance however Darwin was bombed heavily and often.' - Dave Faulkner. 2.It was similar to the attack on Pearl Harbor in that it was a successful aerial surprise attack on a naval target that came as a great shock to the attacked nation. Although Darwin was a less significant military target, more bombs were dropped there than on Pearl Harbor. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bombing_of_Darwin
