My dad was a speed demon too. We had our Mini doing 80mph. His later Jag did well past that, as well as the Charger and Cobra and Brock Special (Holden). He let me drive the Jag when he visited the first time. I'd just driven through a roundabout, and thought that seemed extra quick, but the steering was beautiful. It was then dad casually mentioned that the car's speedometer was mph not kph. Zipping through a town roundabout at highway speed... I survived it, all good. I loved his Brock Special and he let me borrow it for a trip away once. Some speedos stop at 180 klicks. I have no idea how fast that car was. It was almost like flying. I can still remember the feeling. Back to what you were saying, when dad bought his Ford Cobra he had the current best sound system fitted. Our Sunday drives in the bush back roads (lol, yes we were bushies) was filled with music that seemed to surround us. The start of surround sound and multiple speakers. There was something special about it back then, when music seemed to wrap around you. The home stereo/record player had nothing on the car's sound. I think I've used up all the word I'm allowed to use in one day, bye.
Australia 🇦🇺 have some of the finest and most original music ever ❤, Aussie music is second to none, living in Australia since 1999 absolutely blows my mind the vast amount of Aussie made classics some of them I used to listen as a kid back when I lived in Brazil 🇧🇷 never realised it was from Australia not USA 🇺🇸 or Britain 🇬🇧, Australia 🇦🇺 to me is the most magical country ever , from the moment I arrived in Australia last century I knew deep in my heart ❤️ this place was MY HOME MY TRULY HOME! I absolutely love Australia 🇦🇺, Rob Taylor from Dragon used to teach me guitar 🎸 lessons back in Ben Collins Bondi Rock Shop on Bondi Road back in the early 2OOO’s OMG A SUCH AMAZING MEMORIES, OMG BLESS AUSTRALIA 🇦🇺 DOWN UNDER AUSSIE the most beautiful place I ever been the place I call my HOME for 25 years ❤
I discovered a lot of great tunes from Aussie bands and artists through a penpal over 20 years ago - and I'm still a fan of them all today. Proper music, not the manufactured churned out crap they have now. I live in Ireland......
It was mine, an older woman too :) on the beach. Box jellyfish and saltwater crocodiles be damned. How am I not dead yet. I think god is torturing me in my later years. I was a cheeky prick, maybe still am.
This is one of the most legendary Australian songs by one of our most talented bands! A timeless favourite! Mondo Rock, Icehouse, Jeff St John, The Loved Ones and Mark Seymour (Hunters & Collectors) NEVER get old!
@Klemheist WWII ??? The Loved Ones - headed by the legendary British-born Gerry Humphries - were a Baby Boomer favourite who did not make their first appearance until the mid-1960's. One of their most memorable songs were "The Loved One" or the classic, "Sad, Dark Eyes" .... they will go down in history as one of the best, most talented Australian bands of the 1960's. Click on the links below to hear these signs which were THEME SONGS to the lives of so many Baby Boomers who were teenagers in the mid-1960's.

All of our Bands from the 60's through to the end of the 80's were the Ducks Fucking Nuts!... With our bands and Pub culture back then life was sweet! We had it all back then! 🇦🇺💥
Carrie Aussie masterpiece at its finest! Well phrased and ‘A true coming of age song!’ This song is a telltale generational phenomenon that has not been realised by the industry or the listeners; thankfully a few of us do! State of the Heart is another one of their masterpieces! Thank you Ross
I am a teen aussie bloke and I can say that aussies do have culture, most of my mates would have 80's music on their playlist, howbeit mainstream 80's music but still. I can honestly say I do not listen to much music past 2000 (apart from a bit of coldplay and blunt)
Nostalgic memories of a time when you could catch great bands like MR at most pub venues, when fish & chips were $2 a bag, $1 schooner's, and weekend summer night rooting along the Sydney coast, Cronulla to Palm Beach. WTF happened Australia?!
We became too serious and too full of ourselves. We've forgotten what it means to be humble. You can do a good job without getting a big head or being a pr**k. You do your best and after that you just let it go. We forgot that we are just human like all our mates next to us.
Too much ....political correctness 🤢I've followed this brilliant man omg 😍1984 was my last year of FREEDOM ....MY SON IS 32 next week....yet I took him to many a free concert at Cronulla etc
I will LOVE this song until I die!! Brings back the best memories of the 80's being young and irresponsible and having the best time. God I was so lucky to grow up in Melb then with the best live music scene. Miss those days very much!!
this is why the 80s still rock, all the best music was Australian and dare i say it, set the standard,unfortunately no-one has come close to raising the bar icehouse, inxs, noiseworks, mondo rock, goanna, cold chisel, Ac/Dc, Australian Craw, to name but a few
@@solamente8233 i would take inxs, acdc, cold chisel, and australian crawl over sean bosisto, duran duran, and pet shop boys, bowie would sneak in just not sure who for.
The Americans and Canadians had many fine bands as well.Black Flag,Iggy Pop,Promises, The Eagles, Neil Young, Jackson Brown, Michael Jackson, MDC, Metallica, Also Holland's Golden Earring as well.
I love this song so much. Tasty synth and bass-ey beats, great vocals, risque but honest lyrics, and I think the music video was shot down at Maroubra Beach in Sydney!
I was born in 2002 and I can't stand mainstream music. nobody my age appreciates real music from the 50s-90s, back when the musicians actually had talent, instead of all the electronic shit they use now days
The Outro just sends chills, involving the intertwining of Ross' vocal, the choral section, those power chords on electric guitar , and Eric's amazing guitar solo that was cut short for commercial airplay purposes. The song is dripping and rich in the elixir of oxytocin.
Wow. I love reading people's comments/stories surrounding these classic Aussie tracks: where they were & how much the music means to them. Puts a smile on my face :) Thanks for sharing, people!
I was 12 and I remember falling in love to this song and for the years that followed. It sure takes me back and it sure is a song about young love. Those feelings come right back. Love this song and loved Mondo Rock and that beautiful voice that is Ross Wilson's.
Still safe 2 walk the bra anyday anytime. There r still enough old school locals about & the blow ins with new money r trying 2 embrace our way of life. All welcome.
Massive song. Great piece of Aussie rock. I always loved that snicky little keyboard work at 1:28 (And she said, I've been waiting for a long time - chnk chnk chnk...) gets me every time. And then the rumbling undertow of the bass...and then...and then... so many good ingredients here. Brilliant.
I was born in 1971 so when this song came out and was played on the radio I was bit too young to understand it. However later on I can appreciate not just the lyrics but the beat and melody.
I remember in my youth (I'm 42 now) my family heading down to Thirroil Woolongong my dad was a surfer, & this song was playing I was in the back seat making up images to this song, just like his Pink Floyd (The Wall) or Crosby Stills Cash & Young, my Father's music has defined what I love
+Nic B I'm 20 and my father did the same for me, shaped my view on real music. WSFM was played on my radio every night from when I was a baby up until I was in high school. This music will always have a special place in my heart
+Nic B That's so weird! I'm 42 and this song takes me straight back to my childhood going down to Thirroul all through the Summer and listening to it in the car! Maybe we were there the same days, listening to the same radio station! Hahaha.
Omg Thirroil!!! I use to go there with the Crittles all the time!!! I think they might live there now.. But that's EXACTLY where this song takes ME!! Wow.. Internet is a small place :))
So me and my dad were listening to this on the way home from his workplace as it came on the radio. "This is a great song!" I said and Dad said, "do you know what it's about? Listen to the words." I gave him a funny look and he said with my little brother in the back of the car daydreaming, "it's about a man getting his first shag." I fucking laughed my head off XD
this song is bitter sweet for me, ill explain, im 40 now, when i was a teenager i never dated i never held hands with a girl, never did any of that, and this song reminds me every time i hear it on the young love i always missed out on, because girls always thought i was a nerd and a loser and shy etc... its such an injustice and such a shame, i wish i dated when i was a teenager, there were so many pretty girls in my high school like Shanna seamark, bronwyn hope, Claire Miles, Julia Beresford, amanda hobden, but they never even looked at me ONCE , they always just talked to to COOL guys, unfortunately i wasent one of them, so its a great song but it breaks my fragile heart every time i hear it because it reminds me of what i never experienced in my youth.
@@sourcesauce you will find me on reddit forever alone sub reddit along with thousands of other men who have been rejected by woman all these years, simply because girls were never interested in them romantically, its such a tragedy there are so many hundreds of thousands of us out there, suffering in silence every day, all because we cant even get a date.
Maroubra Beach 1984 and Summer. The old wooden Pavilion. I was there while they were filming. My car can be seen in the car park behind the car in the clip. Nor'easter blowing so there was a group of us out sailboarding. They had to wait for the beach to empty which is why it was filmed at twilight. No point having a car from the 50's and us doing wave jumps in the surf now would it.
This song ment so much to me back then .... so many years ago and so much has happened to me since. Within a few seconds of the opening sequence transported back in time.. That's what a true classic can do
We were so lucky in Australia. We got all the stuff from the USA and the UK and Europe, but we also got all this great local stuff that they mostly missed out on. I encourage any US youtuber to look at Australian music of the 70's and 80's and see what you missed out on.
David McCarthy, Totally agree. Aussies produced so much great music and much of it isn’t known beyond our shores. That’s great for us but I do feel for the artists that they didn’t get the recognition they so richly deserved.
I would show my gratitude to Radio Australia (ABC) that made me a music warm since 70s, we had one Phillips Holland 7 valves radio set whose sound quality was more than excellent still feel nostalgic about Saturday international top 20s n Sunday National top 20s i still remember the narrators name Sussan darling, im 68 now from India we used to get those in the air our time 2.30 to 4.30 pm.
1984 A little too early for me. I never invited a girl to the waves to fool around but kissed her at a dusky sunset drive in at age of 7 on the playground swings at intermission.. watching the VHS recording tv lines at the end just made me love it more guys..
When this song came out I was 20,Australia and New Zealand had the best rock n roll music ever.... but, they were overshadowed by music from the US,UK,& Canada and I really think the music from Australia and New Zealand had both a better sound and production,thanks😎!
As an Australian growing up with these bands was priceless , so many great memories and some of the best music to ever exist 🙏❤️❤️🇦🇺👍
Agreed we were so lucky
@@kimthetruthofit6965 I used to get an erection listening to this song. So sad that It doesn't happen now.

The 80s was a clease from the 60s and 70s.

this song and icehouse remind me of my dad so much thats what youd hear in his car. going 80 in a 60 zone playing this.
My dad was a speed demon too. We had our Mini doing 80mph. His later Jag did well past that, as well as the Charger and Cobra and Brock Special (Holden). He let me drive the Jag when he visited the first time. I'd just driven through a roundabout, and thought that seemed extra quick, but the steering was beautiful. It was then dad casually mentioned that the car's speedometer was mph not kph. Zipping through a town roundabout at highway speed... I survived it, all good.
I loved his Brock Special and he let me borrow it for a trip away once. Some speedos stop at 180 klicks. I have no idea how fast that car was. It was almost like flying. I can still remember the feeling.
Back to what you were saying, when dad bought his Ford Cobra he had the current best sound system fitted.
Our Sunday drives in the bush back roads (lol, yes we were bushies) was filled with music that seemed to surround us. The start of surround sound and multiple speakers. There was something special about it back then, when music seemed to wrap around you. The home stereo/record player had nothing on the car's sound.

Barely a week goes by when I do not play this classic somewhere. Loved it as a 22 year old Pom in Oz in 84, and still love it today.

still stuck in the 80's with bands like this
stuck in 80's cause its the best era for music,(great songs,bands etc,) before and since

as an '80s summer boy , spending nights and days by the beach ,sun and sand , i cant imagine any better song represent the '80s music and era!
I was 12 and I remember falling in love to this song and for the years that followed. It sure takes me back and it sure is a song about young love. Those feelings come right back. Love this song and loved Mondo Rock and that beautiful voice that is Ross Wilson's.
Thanks Mondo Rock for the memories. Utter classic.
Reminds me of being 23 and carefree. Was a great time in my life.
This is probably one of the best out of the 80's. Smooth as silk guitar.
Reminds me of what it is like to be young and in love before the cynicism and mistrust kicks in-before you gave up on the concept of love itself
I agree the 80s were easy living and fun and everyone did help each and it was safe to walk the streets at night

Quite simply Ross Wilson is a Genius!!!
such a memorable song from when I was 17 and life was so uncomplicated and relaxed

How can people hate the eighties when you have songs like this.
"Come with me boy, just take my hand"
Great time in Australia 🇦🇺 back then!=Come back 😩
One of my all time favorite songs of the era, Ross Wilson is a genius.
Brings back all the memories from the 80s listening to great Aussie rock!

This is music takes us back to times and places and they were all good times shits on today's music
This song ment so much to me back then .... so many years ago and so much has happened to me since.
Within a few seconds of the opening sequence transported back in time..
That's what a true classic can do

@@simontrucker3624 bang on Bucko!! 😅
Yeah nah yeah
Most of the great ones are Australian
Totally awesome 80s music I'm 51 love it my partner a musician he great bit older loved beat
love all these old songs back in the 80s and 90s
I was 16 in Tassie , just finished school , this song was me ,what a great time to be a young fella in Aussie
If I was stranded on an island, I would want this song with me. Well done Mondo Rock. Takes me back to high school. Ah memories.
Hey take me back to this era in general!
How good was it in the 80's !!!!!!. Growing up in this decade was simply the very best.
This is just another awesome song from back then.
We were so lucky in Australia. We got all the stuff from the USA and the UK and Europe, but we also got all this great local stuff that they mostly missed out on. I encourage any US youtuber to look at Australian music of the 70's and 80's and see what you missed out on.
David McCarthy, Totally agree. Aussies produced so much great music and much of it isn’t known beyond our shores. That’s great for us but I do feel for the artists that they didn’t get the recognition they so richly deserved.
I would show my gratitude to Radio Australia (ABC) that made me a music warm since 70s, we had one Phillips Holland 7 valves radio set whose sound quality was more than excellent still feel nostalgic about Saturday international top 20s n Sunday National top 20s i still remember the narrators name Sussan darling, im 68 now from India we used to get those in the air our time 2.30 to 4.30 pm.
One pf the best song I've ever heard.
fark brings back memories..clock hotel in surrey hills...miss those days :(
this is a great great song and still unmatched
Memories of this playing at the roller skating rink in Footscray when we'd go there with my high school. Ahhh those were the days.
Saw these guys at the Old Lion in the early 80's. From what i can remember..they were great!
awesome song miss the 80s
Love this 💕
17
Come said the girl 👸🏻
Being born in 1980 and my husband is from 77, this brings back some memories as kids.
Still love it to this day.
1984 A little too early for me.
I never invited a girl to the waves to fool around but kissed her at a dusky sunset drive in at age of 7 on the playground swings at intermission..
watching the VHS recording tv lines at the end just made me love it more guys..
Love love love mondo rock come said the boy awesome
Never beat this stuff. 80s forever
Life started to become complicated at age 14 (1984). Remember this song going number one in Melbourne AUS.
I saw mondo rock play live in surfers,paradise in1982 _ ross wilson was magic.
I saw mondo rock play live on the gold coast back in 1982 and they were excellent live. I have been a fan ever. Great aussie rock !!!
When this song came out I was 20,Australia and New Zealand had the best rock n roll music ever.... but, they were overshadowed by music from the US,UK,& Canada and I really think the music from Australia and New Zealand had both a better sound and production,thanks😎!
