This is sad for me... So many, many memories as I face my final lap. Going for a surf is a distant memory. Ghosts of days and lives in a past... RIP Robbo and Guy. Bloody awesome fella's.
Crawl music cheer up out any black dog moment ,yeah I now comn from ,good at craft ,making ya listen words ,all songwriter wants from ya ,,you take as much as little off it want ,,
I was born on the north coast grew up listening to australian crawl in my dads blue station wagon that had holes in floor and no seatbelts! They were the days!
@@AustralianCrawl they dont make cars like that anymore, i dont remember what my dads was but i loved that car took a few beating but still went as good as new.
I'm 61 this was a big hit when I was 20 maybe 18. North San Diego coastal resident for 50 years. Got a new act called Papa Lolo going to throw this song in it rearrange the words a little bit to kind of go with where I live now... Great memories McCoy's surfboards Shane Horan. And other Aussie Legends
I spent my mid teens and twenties in the 80's when Oz music was in its peak and this album was one of THE best..not a single weak track..great memories.
Thanks Spotify, I just rediscovered this song after not hearing it for 20-30 years. I don't know why this song isn't rated more highly - has to be one of the most authentic, awesome Aussie songs. Love that guitar intro. It's on my most listened to playlist now...
@@joaopequeno6317 No doubt a lot of US bands would have pilfered a few Aussie riffs knowing that no one in the US would have heard those tracks. Very similar I agree.
I heard this as a kid when it came out (13 years old) I don’t know how I was lucky enough to see it on in local video channel in Milwaukee,Wisconsin. I had totally forgotten about this band! What a group- what sound! Enjoy
@@user-hx4ez6tu6y the intro is teen spirit along with the melody of the song.....theres also another Australian Crawl song that is GnRs Sweet Child of Mine ....

It sounds morelike The Norwegian Band Immortal to me. Not Black Metal in general but Immortal specifically. Sons of Northern Darkness and Tyrants and whatnot. Not sure if this is intentional but strong resemblance here and there.

Well there’s also wild thing and more than a feeling before it. And also holy grail after
This is the Australia my dad grew up in.. almost feels like a different place now
It is a vastly different place, sadly
We’re trying to turn things around, not anti-vax, anti being forced to do ‘it’
One of the great Australian Crawl songs. I remember walking across this Trestle railway Bridge at Kilcunda on the old disused Wonthaggi Rail line.
I simply don’t understand why this song isn’t remembered more fondly or why it didn’t do better on the charts. Does anyone have any theories?
Holy shit, Nirvada stole the riff badly
Buenas, hermosa voz, hermosa cancion! excelente sonido gracias por compartir!

Nothing like a windy city
Where the station-wagon died
Where the wild dogs meet the fences
And the horsemen, fences ride
Where the flatlands become flatlands
And the caravans collide
I'm just sitting 'neath the mango
Running a tide
Took a ride on a bin-train
50 cars or more
They say the heads are just insane
But it's too risky to score
Sittin' on the lawn with Andrea
Draggin' the line for big red
Everyone looks better with a suntan
Easier to get you into bed
Daughters of the northern coast
Sons of beaches, don't deliver the post
You know the post is a ghost
Lee Marlin went lookin' for a marvin
While we were looking for a line at the pub
Hey, and still the black man's starvin'
No wonder nobody wants a job
Helicopter over homestead
Stirring all the young blades at night
They're steppin' out there in the sultry summer evening
Their pistols all packed
And their badges so bright
Daughters of the northern coast
Sons of beaches, don't deliver the post
You know the post is a ghost
Took a ride on a bin-train
50 cars or more
They say the heads are just insane
But it's too risky to score
Andrea's been giving me a towel down
Standing on a palm beach shore
If 'n'those girls keep a doin' that thing
I can't wait for next year
I'm gonna come back for more
Daughters of the northern coast
Sons of beaches, don't deliver the post
You know the post is a ghost

if you listen to this song carefully it sounds so similar to Nirvanas smells like teen spirit
The start also sounds similar to Louie Louie which Aussie Crawl loved to play. There's only so many bloody chords to go round.

Given Daughters Of The Northern Coast was released much earlier, it’s Nirvana’s song which is a rip off.
Bullshit
It sounds morelike The Norwegian Band Immortal to me. Not Black Metal in general but Immortal specifically. Sons of Northern Darkness and Tyrants and whatnot. Not sure if this is intentional but strong resemblance here and there.
Kurt Cobain liked that!
I've watched this clip a lot of times and I only just noticed that there is a rifle pointed at James at 3:00.

Looks more like a 12 gauge bolt action shotgun. That's the adjustable choke on the muzzle end.
