John Rowles - 'Cheryl Moana Marie'
Television (Excerpts) – 1976
Yeah, up there with 'Pokarekare Ana' and 'Ten Guitars'. Everybody knows those songs — and parodies them.
– Howard Morrison on 'Cheryl Moana Marie'
People still sing her name to her, a friend heard a version of it playing in a United States elevator, and all of a sudden people started naming their children after her – or at least the song.
– Tom Hunt on Cheryl Waetford, who inspired song 'Cheryl Moana Marie', May 2014 Dominion Post
