"No Second Prize" is the debut single by Scottish-born Australian rock musician Jimmy Barnes, released in August 1984 as the lead single from his debut studio album, Bodyswerve. It peaked at number 12 on the Australian Kent Music Report. The song was originally demoed by Cold Chisel but never recorded by them. It was written in 1980 as a tribute to Chisel roadies Alan Dallow and Billy Rowe, who died in a truck crash.[citation needed]
At the 1984 Countdown Music Awards, Barnes won Best Male Performance in a Video.[1][2]
