"Marvellous!" is a single by The Twelfth Man, a series of comedy productions by skilled impersonator Billy Birmingham. The single peaked at No. 1 on the Australian ARIA Singles Chart in April 1992. In response to the single's release, Richie Benaud tried replacing his titular catchphrase, which the song is themed around with "glorious!". However, this did not stop it from reaching number one.[1]
Birmingham later re-recorded the track for his 2006 album Boned!.
