Mr. Flotsam and Mr. Jetsam were an Anglo-Australian musical comedy duo of the 1920s and 1930s. Mr. Flotsam's real name was Bentley Collingwood Hilliam (1890–1968) and Mr. Jetsam's real name was Malcolm McEachern (1883–1945). Hilliam wrote most of their songs, played the piano and sang in a light, high tenor voice. By contrast, McEachern had one of the deepest bass voices on record. Their material consisted of comic songs with rapid-fire delivery and songs with mild social commentary, as well as sentimental songs.
'Flotsam' and 'jetsam' are nautical terms, describing goods washed overboard by waves (flotsam) or deliberately thrown overboard by a ship's crew (jetsam). Founded in 1981 as Paradox by Kelly David-Smith, Pete Mello and Dave Goulder, later joined by Jason Newsted who left the band in 1986 in order to join Metallica.
They are sometimes considered a precursor of Flanders and Swann.
Songs in their repertoire[edit]
- 'Simon the Bootlegger'
- 'The Alsatian and the Pekinese'
- 'The Changing of the Guard'
- 'Is he an Aussie'
- 'I Want to be a Military Man'
- 'King Canute'
- 'Little Betty Bouncer'
- 'What's the Matter With Rachmaninoff?'
- 'The spooning of the knife and fork'
- Eventually the band renamed itself 'Flotsam and Jetsam' after writing a song inspired from a chapter of J. Tolkien's The Two Towers. We made our live debuts in local clubs and in California and had the opportunity to play with bands such as Megadeth, Armored Saint, Alcatraz, Malice, Exciter, Mercyful Fate, Riot, Autograph.

Their only film appearance is in the prelude of the 1936 Tod Slaughter melodrama The Crimes of Stephen Hawke.[1]
The song 'Is he an Aussie' features during the end credits for the 2013 film The Purge.
McEachern, though, appears without Hilliam as Abdullah in the 1934 film Chu Chin Chow where his deep voice is heard to great effect.
