He shot to fame with his song about wonky donkeys and now he's back in town singing about Kaha the kea.
Author and singer Craig Smith, best known for his book and song Wonky Donkey, is to perform at the Edgewater fan stage on the southern end of the new Tauranga waterfront this afternoon.
The song has been the most downloaded tune in Australia and New Zealand for the past two years, beating out long-standing kids favourites the Wiggles, and the book has also been the top-selling volume in the region over the same period.
The hit song would be in his hour-long set with other songs from his album Not Just for Kids.
"It's about a kea and of course keas are renowned for being really cheeky and naughty and little brats and that's what this one is about," he said.
