I found their Real Live cassette in my dad's glovebox when I was 15 and listened to it on repeat for the entire school holidays. Now I'm 30 and still love it!
Always loved them and the Church - some stories over the years from Steve (Kilbey) make it sound as though he didn't like them very much though :) Can't wait for the new Church LP
Sunnyboys where very hip underground band from Melbourne playing at sell out venues and pubs they where not a real commercial band They where very cool
Japanese have awesome music taste! Still remember being in a Tokyo microbar and picking some music out - the owner only had The Clash. A happy night...
it was better when you could go out and see bands like this at your local for a few dollars biggest issue then was to many great bands not enough time oh gee what a hassle made me a happy man though
Glad to see recent comments, you guys inspire me and know that my teenage boys are at this time discovering the cream of raw Australian genius, thank you !
I first came to Sydney in the early to mid 80s..........the Sunnyboys, The Hoodoo Gurus, Hunters & Collectors & Paul Kelly, Spy v Spy all blew my mind.............. as did The Allnighters & Strange Tennants......the Sydney pub music scene was awesome.
This is my all time favourite song and that’s big cause I listen to the eagle’s AC/DC Australian crawl America red hot chilli peppers John prine and like 32 others
Sitting here in my room The whole damn thing is coming down on me Gotta straighten out, find an answer to my prayer, oh yeah Well everything looks so grand From the position I stand, yeah Stop that sound can't you leave me alone try to understand me now I've gotta hang up I can't communicate I've gotta hang up But I'm a happy man Memories of you tearing me apart I think I'm swimming in a sea of doubt now, yeah I get so uptight I keep on telephoning up now, well alright I have gotta hang up I can't communicate I have gotta hang up But I'm a happy man
iggy did self titled song on party from 1981 too! i play a non reverse firebird.. how cool these came up in my recommendations! never heard about this.
Jeremy Oxley is so good - I could be listening to the current pop charts, but guess what? There is nothing like this - thats why I don't listen to the charts, because this is so good! - Live Long Sunnyboys!
According to wikipedia "Sunnyboys are an Australian power pop band formed in Sydney in 1979. Fronted by singer-songwriter, guitarist Jeremy Oxley, the band "breathed some freshness and vitality into the divergent Sydney scene"
Gee whizz, I had forgotten this song, but not the band. Why isn't there at least a million views? This is brilliant ahead of it's time rock. Their best I love it!
Top song! Used to have it going around in my head, not knowing who sang it, till one day I was paying attention on Triple J at the end of the song the woman said it was "Happy Man" by the Sunnyboys.... whoa, I didn't realize, a band I had seen at the local pub!
Yet another Australian band pulls down all third party clips of the same song (most of which are remastered by people like me in 1920x1080 with new remastered audio) and replace it with a poor sounding 640 x 480 version. I am happy to supply you with my version free of charge to replace this one, if you are genuinely interested please contact me via my UA-cam profile. I don't make any money out of what I do, just a fan of Australian music.
Saw these guys live in early 80’s and were awesome. I’m 60 now and their first album is still on my playlists
56 here, and concurring.
How I loved this album, I can’t imagine how many times I sat on the floor of my bedroom and played this over and over, and yes I’m a happy man.
I love this. I remember the Sunny Boys from my youth and it still sounds bloody good.
Im still here thanks for the sunshine
Great band! Was nuts about them when I was a teen and still listening to them 40 years later.
this band is the reason I play music!
I’ve listened to these guys since I was about 13-14 years old and I’m now 52 😆😁

One of the best Australian rock bands ever produced. Loved the when I was 20 and still love them 30 years later.

Ripping my heart apart as I feel his pain and think of my own battles with the black dog

I reckon I'm the only Japanese who listens to this song

i love that we’re in an era where you can search up music from almost any time period!

Raw Australian genius is right. So well said. Should be 1000's more views than this.
THAT gives me hope, actual music, well done you!
Just kids , Jeremy, aged 20 in 1981, a lyrical and musical genius and the band, a master of their craft. Get some Fun!
en france ..on écoute toujours !! ;-)
The waves at Kingscliff were often good, but the music ALWAYS good thanks to Jeremy and Pete.
YEAH BABY

Had they been born in Leeds, or Manchester etc they'd have been massive sellers.
Classic song and album.
These guys were still teens. I love their energy.
Sunny Boys and the police and Bryan Adams
Synchronicity tour
Sunny Boys rocked it
Welcome to Sidney

Those WERE the days...
New years eve at Kingy Pub................ 17 years old then!!!!!! 42 years ago
Memories man, this takes me back, at the time 16, bought the single.
This is my all time favourite song and that’s big cause I listen to the eagle’s AC/DC Australian crawl America red hot chilli peppers John prine and like 32 others
Just geeking out over the guitars.
2021 and still loving this song
Every now and then I come upon an 80’s song I never heard before. I was away doing a cultural immersion year in college, so missed this one! Love it!
Still a classic
If I was given a dollar every time I plugged in to play Sunnyboys I'd be a rich man today. Hahaha .... Good memories
Awesomeness. The song that takes me to my 21st party preparations. What a great Aussie band
Brilliant band back in the day, very under rated. Deserved more success
Sitting here in my room
The whole damn thing is coming down on me
Gotta straighten out, find an answer to my prayer, oh yeah
Well everything looks so grand
From the position I stand, yeah
Stop that sound can't you leave me alone try to understand me now
I've gotta hang up
I can't communicate
I've gotta hang up
But I'm a happy man
Memories of you tearing me apart
I think I'm swimming in a sea of doubt now, yeah
I get so uptight I keep on telephoning up now, well alright
I have gotta hang up
I can't communicate
I have gotta hang up
But I'm a happy man
Sitting in my room .... in Melbourne Aust, September 2020. Lockdown. Memories of gigs tearing me apart
Oh yea
@@krishammond7860 but I'm a happy man

They were a guaranteed awesome night every gig
Fantastic.. just thought of it in 2023 last day and glad.
Still love the raw talent that they brought to music.
Still loved and viewed very very often, thanks guy's .
Gee whizz, I had forgotten this song, but not the band. Why isn't there at least a million views? This is brilliant ahead of it's time rock. Their best I love it!
Ah! - Reminds me of growing up going to school in Porpoise Spit...
These guys are up there with the Oils and INXS as Australia's G.O.A.T.s!!!!
Tanelorn! 1981 I recall it was so cold we rode home after the oils some bastards stole our blankets!
SUNNY BOYS SAVED ME. HELD IN HIGH :} REGARD 100% "TOMORROW WILL BE FINE"

Top song! Used to have it going around in my head, not knowing who sang it, till one day I was paying attention on Triple J at the end of the song the woman said it was "Happy Man" by the Sunnyboys.... whoa, I didn't realize, a band I had seen at the local pub!
