Great times . Days when i was so happy and full of life . Didn't care what i drank or who i was with . So much energy , i used to run instead of walk . Why did i think my life was shit ? Sitting here and wanting it all back . Loved the Gurus too .
Man, gurus are my all time favourite band in Australia. I was a wee lad in the 80s and so many great songs and memories. Now 41 dam I love to reminisce. Times were sure different
Hoodoo Gurus - 11 November 1987, Founders Theater Hamilton, Dave broke a couple of lower E strings but played on like a true professional lol. Awesome night.
In the day when this song was huge, I was driving through Beaudesert QLD, There was a Cafe, out the front of it was a group of teenagers, the blokes were wearing just denim jeans and a pair of thongs, no shirts. This one young bloke had one of those ridiculously huge portable cassette players up on his shoulder and had this song pumping out full volume. No doubt they were very cool dudes. That's the memory this song brings back to me. Those stereos used take like 12 "D" cell batteries and they'd last for about 2hrs. Cost a fortune in batteries.
I was living in central Queensland back in mid 80s, remember those times well, great tunes, and to see the gurus on holiday at the blacktown RSL in Sydney in 1986, this guy who was originally from stoke on trent in England, well I was fkn stoked!!!🇦🇺🇬🇧🎸👍
Hoodoos - Hunnas -Tatts - Angels -Choir Boys, etc - All arse kickin' Aus' Rock Exponents. - hold their own agin' any international bands. Ripper Rock!👍 BloodRed.🍒
Looking chillaxed there guys. Only the Hoodoo Gurus could film in one of the hottest, dryest places on earth and make it look cool and relaxing like they've all just woke up and showered. Love this band.
You guys ROCK! I remember listening to you guys on KROQ and 91x back in the 80s. All my surf buddies use to drive to LA or SD to see you play live! Good times!
I saw them in Liverpool UK in 1985 and 1989. The 1985 gig in particular was so good. One of those great concert memories, which act as some compensation for being 63 now.
a daily staple of rock FM radio stations in the 90's in Australia. I've probably heard this thousands of times, it always chirped up everybody in the workshop when it came on.
Thank you. I had tix to see you at the Orpheum in Boston, '86-87ish. What happened? I did get my $ back, that day. Hush? ...but I never got to see you live. SOB.
I have a dedicated playlist for 80s Aussie music because it deserves to have a solid genre of it's own.
I must agree. I wish I was there... at this time. 😢
Absolutely. Same here.
Still got my concert ticket from the 80’s when they played in the UK. How can I remember all the lyrics but not what happened yesterday? 😂

Well you’ve done the right thing by listening to them again 👍👍
I'm 48 and can relate to everything you said. Well put my friend.
This song is timeless - it's as good as the very first time I heard it in 1986!
how does one band make so many totally epic catchy songs?
It shows that they are LEGENDS!!❤
Lots of hard work.
black magic
Dave Faulkner the greatest Australian songwriter ever and the Gurus one of the country’s finest
I often come and listen to this, great song and great band.
I love this song. It was the first Hoodoo Gurus song I had ever heard and it got me hooked. Definitely one of my all-time favorite bands.
This beautiful classic takes me back to beautiful 80s and 90s and to great days of high school.
Love it. Australian music at its best, bunch of legends.
An all-time favourite of mine.

So good - I'm a few years older and they were the business live - massive fun...🎸🎼👍🍺

I hear you on the battery dilemma! Good times though...😄😅

@@STOKEOZ1967 Bloody hell!, moving from Stoke on Trent to central QLD - Culture shock!! Nice one...
Seeing 'em tomorrow at the Bluebird,can't wait to finally hear 'em live!
They influenced bands that didn’t even know they were their mentors. Scarily good.
Caught myself singing the chorus ladt... It has to be over 15 years since I've played this song.
I have loved these guys for years! My husband and I first danced to “should I stay or should I go?” I have so much respect for this band!,
Singing this with my 2 yr old daughter, I would love to hear a modern version of this song, it would rock the country
why have a modern version?
The only thing that rocks the country now is wokism. Which people adore.
Hoodoo Gurus -a hit machine!
I saw them at the Prince of Wales in St Kilda about 5 years ago. And at the Adelaide University Bar on a Friday Lunchtime gig in 1985ish.

Always bloody Beauty's of OZ Excellence. Grateful. Thanx.
Thanks for the memories. Wish hair was a given.
Seen in Sheffield 85? Loved ever since
I haven't heard this one in awhile - they've got that 60s' surf energy or something.
Underrated
In 2022, this is now known as the Mr Poopybutthole song
OOOWEEEEEEE!!!!
Saw you guys at The Roxy a couple decades ago - loved H.G. for years
Doyers!
Hello youth... it’s been a while
Same, but isn't it grand?
Hahahaha..🎼🎸🍺👍
Great video...back when Australia was a relatively free country, too.
If there was any Aussie band other than ACDC that can be associated with mullet music it would have to be these guys!
We've got our tickets for St. Petersburg!!!
A melhor ❤❤❤
the best
Oo ee!
HG come back to Brazil please!!!!
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

Oowee.....seriously. I fucking hated this song getting stuck in my head as a kid.
*'OOOOOOOOOOOOO WEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE'*
Is this an alternate take/mix of the album track?

Iva Davies and the whole of the Mentals say bullshit !!! 🇦🇺💥
@@freddyhitler3332 Definitely catchier songs than Nick Cave. Not to say Nick's songs aren't genius though, or more genius.
Sad indictment of Oz
