I remember when Split Enz entered the music world here in Oz, and I was thinking who are these 'weirdos' with their make up, hairdos, and strange clothing, as we hadn't seen anything like it before, however, after one song, I didn't think they were weird at all, just a very unique and talented group of artists 🥰👌, thank you NZ 👏👏
Split Enz , became Crowded House when brothers Tim and Neil went separate ways. Tim actually later years join his brother in Crowded House. Crowded House, omg you will know their music. Oh for etc info Neil for a time was lead vocals for Fleetwood Mac.
Split Enz was a fantastic band they use to wear all kinds of weird and colorful clothing backed up with out of this world hairdos. Once they got rid of these things the world took notice of them people realised these guys could really play. Who could never forget one of the band members Noel Crombie doing a solo playing the spoons. The Finn boys are so talented!
Tim the singer was in a recording studio in south Melbourne l was working for a band same day in the studios .l looked in the window just Tim with his head inside a cardboard box singing and being recorded they tried different things for different sounds.the year l think was 19 82 .l was 18
The Finn brothers are brilliantly talented and they were ground breaking when they hit the music scene in both NZ and Oz because they didn't really fit into any existing category. They came over to Oz (thanks NZ ❤) in their crazy costumes that their Mum sewed for them on her home sewing machine, and we Aussies fell in love with them. The Finn brothers have an enormous and varied (and hugely successful) back catalogue of music between them.
Loving a bit of NZ bands you are reviewing. Neil Finn later joined another band called Crowded House in Australia with 2 Aussies. He also sang and toured with Fleetwood Mac.
Neil didnt join Crowded House he created them with Aussie musicans after the fallout with his brother Tim. But here you are right Neil did front for Fleetwood Mac ( My favourite band of all time ) 9:29

I remember when this song was not long out. I was patrol in a submarine when we sprung the engine room hatch. We couldn't go deep but had to remain dived. We rigged plastic around the hatch to drain the water into the bilge and ran the bilge pump continuously. We thought the title suited us to a tee.
Damn! This is an old song from the 80’s I was a baby then around 4 yrs old when this was released in 1982 (I looked it up)😂. All I remember is the chorus 🎶 6 months in a leaky boat🎶 😂😂😂😂😂
Split Enz are brilliant, quirky, bizzare and fun. MY first favourite band as a kid. Technically only Neil Finn and Paul Hester went on to form Crowded House with Nick Seymour (Mark Seymour's brother, Mark is the singer from Hunters and Collectors who you have reacted to).
Thanks Mike. That brought back many memories. In the early 2000's Neil and Tim Finn collaborated with the original Wiggles with this song. My youngest son (now 25) loved it. Cheers Mike.
I See Red! That'll get you fired up. Then you can go to the usual lead vocalist after that. This is one the greatest bands (plus Crowded House) and songwriters in music ever. Sounds like a bold claim, doesn't it.

Great reaction! This was banned in UK By the BBC due to the Falklands war. Great band. "I see red" is one of my favs.
I remember that "incident" well. A classic example of the murky world of paranoia that all secret services spooks live in.
Tim Finn and Neil Finn , yes they’re brothers are next level song writers and muso’s . From NZ originally they had lotsa hits here in oz . Thx Mike 😊
Awesome Greg.. always requests that I love.
"Message to my girl" is a fantastic track from Split Enz. Showcasing Neil's writing and vocal abilities.

Fark.. I loved this song when I was a kid..
No they are a Kiwi Band from Te Awamutu New Zealand
Being from Nz is Kinda special as it such a little country at the bottom of the world. Hearing this again makes my heart sing.
Brilliant 👏

split enz is kiwi - the finn brothers are from Te Awamutu
Hey but we claim them anyway, just like Noiseworks, Dragon etc
@@bline5891 Noiseworks is an aussie band only jon stevens is the kiwi who initially was a popstar in nz before going to aus but both countries do claim Crowded House
We invented Pavlova.
They had a killer live show including a spoon solo, from Aoteroa New Zealand ❤ started of as art school eccentrics 😂
The opening instrumentals always take me back. Absolutely awesome choice, Greg! ❤️🇦🇺👍

Kiwis currently going mental as anything 😅

ahha well done you found a N.Z song
Yeah. Both split enz and crowded house were significant in my youth. Would be great to check out crowded house 🏠
Haven't seen this version before... with the long intro.
Saw them live fkn awesome musos
Classic song, thanks matey. Try "one step ahead"
Originally from NZ but came to Australia to make their mark
I liked split enz they were a fun band to listen too

This song got banned during the Falklands war for some reason I don't understand.
Because they thought that it would reduce the moral of the troops. It was one of the the most remote wars ever fought, entirely supplied by sea.
