Just heard this song live. From about a kilometre away. While in my house. At 11pm. Darryl Braithwaite is 73 and still doing concerts in small rural Aussie towns like Wingham. Good on him.
That guitar riff... so brilliant and haunting and ahead of its time... world class , and Daryl giving it everything... lm still blown away every time l hear it and see it 🇦🇺
Still rocks today even after all these years, remember this when it first came out, the 60s ,70s and 80s were the best decades ever for music . Shame there isn't proper music anymore, thank God for UA-cam it's the next best thing to a Time Machine. If only !!!!
I'd forgotten how good this song is; saw the album in a Tweet. I have the single - the intro is bloody awesome, and yes, it's another song with simple lyrics, which are always the most powerful. Fantastic!
bloody amazing!! hit!! band! & awesome song! hearing this song as a little kid of the late 70s & 80s from family members is still one of my favourite number. Go Sherbet!
I'm always listening to this on Canberra 2CA radio station. I lived in Canberra 1980-86 as a foreign student. ANU grad. I miss the 80's in Australia. Best times of my life. From Malaysia.
BEAUTIFUL MEMORY, I SEARCHED FOR THIS THEME FOR YEARS THAT I DANCED IN MY ADOLESCENCE, I RECENTLY FOUND IT AFTER MANY YEARS, ONE OF MY FAVORITE THEMES OF THAT BEAUTIFUL TIME..
Always liked The Sherbs/Sherbert. They were big in Fresno, then after 82 their record company stopped promoting them here in the central san valley. At least we were lucky to appreciate them and hear how good these cats from Australia were Thanks for posting this piece of music history. Musc like this makes me glad I'm not generation millameal or ztard
Only in the Seventies could a band have a hit like this then fade away never to see the light of day again but live on in the hearts and minds of those who remember to this day. Still touring fifty years on, who would have thought it? I'm guessing not even Darryl Braithwaite then.
I saw them in concert at the Regent Theatre, Dunedin, NZ. Earlier that day, they an album signing at an EMI record shop. Would have been about 1973-1974. Terrific concert.
So many happy memories associated to this song of my youth. Took me years to realize what a quality song it was . . . . . . but then that's why it has lasted the test of time
Peter Holland What about the BeeGees, ACDC, Olivia Newton John, John Paul Young, TMG, Cold Chisel, Divinyls, INXS, Little River Band, Brian Cadd, Dragon, Masters Apprentices, Daddy Cool, Sherbet, Aussie Crawl, Men at Work, Angels, Flowers, etc then theres heaps of one hit wonders like Helen Reddy. Heaps of choices for best Aussie Song.

Brilliant song from the back end of the long hor summer of '76! I'd just started my 5th and final full year at secondary school and still look back fondly to the days of taking my Sony transistor radio on a Tuesday to hear the charts!
Howzat for a terrific base line! Amazing memories of 1976. This song is, of course about cricket; not at all about a bloke who finds his girl messing around with another guy.
Great song great band. I could listen to this over and over again and never get tired!... god I miss the music that made you feel so good inside. RIP Harvey James
I FINALLY FOUND IT!!!! Por fin la encontré, esta canción la vi en TV, yo tenía 14 años, en 1978, sur de Argentina, miraba un programa que daban por la tele en blanco y negro, escuché esta canción y me impactaron las voces, los arreglos, me deslumbró. Tal vez parezca tonto pero así fue, durante muchos años la busqué infructuosamente, ya que el nombre que recordaba era parecido ( erróneamente buscaba " how that" ) hoy con 57 años revivo aquella tarde de invierno en que la vi y escuché con algunas sensaciones parecidas...saludos a todos los que también les gusta!!!!!
Que interesante tu historia. Para que sepas 'Howzat' es una palabra que se usa en el deporte de 'cricket'. Los jugantes la usan para pedir al árbitro si el lanzador (o pícher) esta fuera or no. Ademas el cantante de esta canción Daryl Braithwaite es muy famoso en Australia (no solo por este grupo).
I’m the same as you. I love this song but don’t know the title let alone the artist and then I heard it on the radio and somebody pick this song and bring back memories. Because I did not catch the title it drove me crazy for how many days that I end up writing to the radio station to help me out to find the song. I have to say I played it 7 times now !

Jeez WA was the best place in the 70's. Surfing at Yallingup and Margret River , Perth, City Beach High School. I saw Sherbet in Concert in Perth and then went on to a surfing film in Subi. Fab days.
I saw Daryl about five years at the Caloundra Music Festival and I thought for sure he wouldn't sing this, as many artists from old bands won't do their old stuff from the bands they left behind. But Daryl's 2016 rendition of this classic was as fresh as it was in the 1970s. Some say Daryl Braithwaite is Australia's Huey Lewis. I don't think so. I believe Daryl is way above, and his range far broader. The stand outs in his mid-2010s gigs were obviously Howzat, along with 'Horses', and a very punchy yet haunting 'You've Got the Gun'. Daryl Braithwaite turns 72 years young this January 2021, so if Covid-19 permits, go see him live if you can.
@@AnInsideJob-mynewbook I noticed that and wondered why he was wearing a Wednesday jacket. I expect he's not had the best of weekends, what with their greatest rivals making it back to the Prem.
Just came downstairs at about 4:30am with an ear worm ...hadn't heard this song in years...howzat work then? ... just had to call up song and listen to it properly... Remember listening to Sherbet live a number of times back in the day.

Life was much simpler back then x
I just had that listening to Take This Heart by Richard Marx on a trip down Memory Lane.

Haha! That's amazing, thanks for sharing the story.
ALL Good
That's awesome! He still sounds great too!!
At least it adds value to your house. People will know you have neighbours with decent taste in music😀

A breakup song becomes a cricket iconic song ....
Only the Aussies can do that
Aussie classic!!!! 1970’s, cricket on Channel 9!!! Maaaarvelous 🏏
You cant beat the 70s for the most iconic music ever written. This song 🎵 by Sherbet ie a perfect example-wonderful composition.
One of my favorite songs on the 70s.
brilliant song 🎵
The accidental cricket anthem. Bloody great song, always in my top 5.
I thought "Dreadlock Holiday" was the accidental cricket anthem.
It is great
Not really accidental. The cricket pun was what the whole song was built around.
Good teeth 😁
Makes me think of the Ashes 🤗
We moved to Australia just after seeing this on Top of the Pops in the UK. I thought ‘wow this place looks cool!’ And it bloody well was!
OWZAT,😂😂😂

reminds me on good times in the 70th
Great song,even many years later still a pleasure, great bass work
Bass
One word absolutely brilliant, ok 2 words

Should be number one,NOW.
It should Andy, but beautiful music or anything else today, is no longer appreciated, unfortunately. @@andymatthews7617
Great tune, completely underrated
BETTER DAYS.
Oh yeah, I remember this. I accompanied Sherbet on tour in the 70s in the UK and the fans always seemed to enjoy the song.
Wow, I bet u had some great times.?
BEAUTIFUL MEMORY, I SEARCHED FOR THIS THEME FOR YEARS THAT I DANCED IN MY ADOLESCENCE, I RECENTLY FOUND IT AFTER MANY YEARS, ONE OF MY FAVORITE THEMES OF THAT BEAUTIFUL TIME..
Great memories.
Gotta love the outfits...
My Favorite band for much of the 70's and my favourite sherbet song Howzat which was a No.1 hit here in Australia and their biggest hit too.
Still listening in 2020...Howzat.
Just revisited this song. I like it even more than when I first heard it in the 70s.
More evidence that the 1970s was the best decade for music!
BY MILES.

I was 7 or 8 when this song was on the radio. Back then I thought it was a soccer song (AZ/AZ67, Dutch club in the 70s). :-)
Still enjoying this song!!! 2019!
So many happy memories associated to this song of my youth. Took me years to realize what a quality song it was . . . . . . but then that's why it has lasted the test of time
When the world hadn't gone Crazy.
I miss the 70s and the music,,every song brings back a memory,,real music with heart,,thankyou to all musicians of the 70s
Trip down memory lane. 70's bubble gum classic tune. Best part of the Internet is watching music from my youth.
What a classic song. Love his voice..
GREAT SONG ,GREAT BAND
Love his hair.
Simple but super bass line. Great memories of the mid 70's
70s magic cant beat it
In my eyes one of the best Aussie songs ever....great lyrics, brilliant harmonies....love love love it!..
I would agree with that but it hasn't got much competition apart from the Seekers!

A TRUE CLASSIC.
1976. Totally in love with Sherbet and starting high school. Great memories
A gem from my younger days, stood out from that era.
Great bass, killer solo! I was 7 when this was released, and I still remember it now!

Works perfectly when someone tries to put the ball on Old Trafford tram stop and it ends up with the fielder on the rope though!
Best hairstyle ever!
Very true.. one of the very best aussie songs i love.even the guitar riffts arw superb and the fuzz box sounds.love to daryl.

Navin Navin Aussie theme tune for England in the ashes 😎
I love Sherbet even after 30 years. 😘😃
Comme j'aime ! Cela me rappelle tellement de souvenirs à!!
I've been looking for this song for years. Had it on a 45. I can finally stop looking. Still looking for the group chase.
Great memories what times we had
Great song great band. I could listen to this over and over again and never get tired!... god I miss the music that made you feel so good inside.
RIP Harvey James
Just like me 😀
I usually do and its dedicated to my exs
Noooooooo I didnt know he passed the lead singer??
I didn't know he was sick???
@@nikkischoessow4847 the lead "singer" is Braithwaite. He's a hack.
I got them to play this on KSCO radio today out of Santa cruz one of my all time favorites let's bring it back
Well done nikki.

Aca en Australia es una cancion emblematica de los 70, el cantante todavia esta vivo y sigue cantando.
@@worldclass3895 gracias por escribirme. He visto videos donde siguen cantando y las voces no han cambiado! 😃👏👏👏. Dios bendiga a Australia

Love this tune ... always have :)

Keep coming back to this video. Best song ever ..
Classic song..
I am an old sherbet girl from the seventies. Even my son in his 20's likes it, I fancied daryl something major!!!
I absolutely love this song ! brilliant
I use to go see Sherbet at brisbane festival hall years ago. Great shows
Love the guitar solo at 1.33
Such a great band 👍👍 still love them
Excellent performance. i always liked that track, and now I've seen and heard the intricacies, timing, harmonies and arragement, I like it even more!

It is a bit of a cricket anthem
Not out!!!
This song reminds me of hot chicks lol
Cricket or a partner playing around :-)
