- Supernaut were an Australian glam/punk rock band from Perth, Australia formed in 1974 and disbanded in 1980.
Formed in 1974 in Perth, Western Australia, Supernaut (originally named Moby Dick) had a short but successful career which yielded two straight top twenty singles (including a number one hit) and gold album status for their self titled debut album.
Supernaut were quickly signed up by Rockin Rod Woods at Polydor after a recommendation from Ian "Molly" Meldrum (who produced their debut album) and burst on to the Australian charts with a number one hit in July, 1976 with "I Like It Both Ways". A follow up hit came in November, 1976 with "Too Hot To Touch", which reached number 19, from their self-titled album Supernaut. Woods from Polydor thought the band would have been huge in Europe and the UK.
In 1978 Supernaut relocated to Sydney and shortened their name, their hair and changed their attitude. They opted for punk/new wave garage style and became "The Nauts". They released an album (produced by Robie Porter) under that name in 1978. The album was widely acclaimed by critics but sales were not forthcoming and they disbanded in 1980.

I wish I was born during the 70’s, what a time to be alive in terms of music
Yup, but you really needed to be born in the '60's to enjoy it. That way the '70's would happen in your teens when you could attend the venues.
I was one of the lucky ones. Born in 1964, in my teens in the 70s and that was the time music would be the very best it would ever be. Thanks to technology, we can relive it, you can learn about it and keep it alive.
It was something of a golden age of music.
For everything!!!!
For everything!!!!

Big Bolan fans
West Oz rockers I remember them
Now I know what The Spiders From Mars were doing when Bowie was on holidays.
A golden 70s oldie! Love it!!!
The Painters & Dockers covered this song on their Kill, Kil, Kill. EP.
Its hard to find and is not on Spotify. Its done as a tribute and it rocks.
I am so glad to have grown up through the 70’s and 80’s watching Countdown and listening to great music, I love revisiting old music videos just to escape modern reality for a while!
Who would have expected a song with these lyrics to not only have been broadcast by Countdown but to have also made it to #1 on the Top 40 charts nearly 40 years ago!!

Back then, the lyrics were considered abso-bloody-lutely scandalous, deranged, perverted, disgusting, the younger generation would go to hell in a handbasket - all the same stuff that was trotted out ab out Elvis Presley and the Beatles. I grew up in this fabulous era of music and I've not yet gone to hell in any sort of conveyance.
Molly produced the album. They were ALWAYS going to be on Countdown. And rightly so!!
First live gig I went to. I was 11. Had no idea what they were singing about! They supported Ted Mulry Gang who had a hit with Jump in My Car. Oh those innocent years were awesome 😂
❤
Cool Glam Jam.
How good is this song all these years later ??
F***ing *GOOD!*
Remember it
I thought they moved to England & started Nauts! If they moved to Sydney, why isn't there any footage or photos commonly available? I love this band, both Supernaut & Nauts. FUCK! June 18! I'm there. THANKS, SUPERNAUT! Best band in the world, fuck all posers. Where's the CDs & records. (I mean, I've got 'em all, but a definitive CD re-release blockbuster is in order). GET STUFFED! SUPERNAUT! YAYYY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
70's glam rock always had a lot of sexual ambiguity about it. Just read David Bowie's and Lou Reed's comments at the time regarding their thoughts and attitudes to bi-sexuality.
I’m sure heavily influenced by drugs…

I know what Johnny's doing - he's using a high pitched voice to attract women, and a low pitched voice to attract men.
😂😂
Seen them live several times, if I remember right it was one time in support of JPY & the other as the Headline act.
Put on a Great live show, very tight & lots of energy.
Edit for spelling:
Yes I also saw them live in 76 a very tight band.
🎉
some thing from Happy Madison what a funny song
Which card are you Simon 😎💚
can we get this awesome lp on compact disc ?
I remember they did a short gig at my High School (Dover Heights Boys) would have been 74-75, we weren't that impressed at the time as their wasn't much comparison to Sky Hooks at the time.
Bullshit. They were in Perth then . You couldn't of seen them in that time .76 when they went east for the first time
@@ACDZ123 Hey mate take it easy it was a long time ago, you could be correct maybe it was 76 but they definately came to my school, nobody knew who they were it was so random.
@@2cool4stu alright il take it easy now 😁
the phone was accidental. molly,s phone went off
it was on the record as well.
Is the singer Gary Twinn?
Yes
This won Countdown's Film clip of the Year in '76. Certainly wasn't song of the year that's for sure.
Barry Morgan's world of organs does it better
"I like it Sideways (circa Gabe, mid 1970's) ❤❤❤
oh dear. Why did I ask my mate to remember the name of this band?
"current" countdown 🌈
bi anthem?
Just heard it on the end of spicks and specks, thought I'd better check it out, LOVN it
This was banned from Countdown for its lyrics !
No it wasn't.
Considering Molly Meldrum produced it, I highly doubt it
No it was not I saw it think wow it"s a bit risky 😮😅😂
Was not, molly loved it because he produced it and the lyrics are about him.
It was banned by Sydney radio station 2SM - owned at the time by the Catholic Church
I am Metal Elbow
I'd forgotten how bad this is!
Jimmy Barnes mentions these guys in his book. He didn't like the song any way it came. Lol
bisexual anthem
Crap then! Even crappier now :)
Yep, it wasn’t a highlight. In anyone’s language.
Absolute shite Song. Had the misfortune to see them. They were Horrid!
I like it!
vocals are amateurish.
Jesus this is bad
Tyler Jensen shut it mate. Glam rock is best rock
