The Valentines were an Australian pop band active from 1966 to 1970, chiefly noted for their lead singers, Bon Scott, who later went on to success as lead vocalist with AC/DC, and Vince Lovegrove, who subsequently became a successful music journalist and manager of Divinyls. The band released two extended plays during their run, The Valentines (1968) and My Old Man's a Groovy Old Man (1969). They also released eight singles, including five charting singles, their highest-charting being 1969's "Nick Nack Paddy Whack", which peaked at number 53 on the Australian Singles Chart.
