ol' 55 played in Clown St Wollongong one summer night, with Dragon and some other bands in the late 70’s and they are the best, of that style we had in Australia, just good music, how luck are we to have them.
Taken off everybody's favourite k-tel album....."Ripper 76". We didn't have this album but it had the best album cover and a lot of great songs on it. Day 6060. 2 x 2 x 3 x 5 x 101. All my urine til 10pm then dried figs and American Red grapes. No change.
Just good fun music without all the bullshit messages and meanings hidden in music today, thank God for these old music clips, keeps me sane in today's shitty world.
@The18Angus Ol'55 were top flight in 75. iirc Stray Cats were early 80's. Both bands made excellent ch00ns though... I made the mistake of buying "Take it Greasy" on Cassette though so it's long since died. :-(
yep good things dont last . to many member changes , Frankie and Wilbur left then the slide.drank with Wilbur at the HOMESTEAD HOTEL in FITZROY in the late 70's.
It's 2024 but I still love the 1970s & 80s songs ❤❤

Best night ever!!!!
Love it the old songs just brilliant
Rockin aussie band, love it
One of the best live bands I have ever seen
This song reminds me of my teenage days back 1970s
What a great band they were!!
I remember listening to this song when me and my friends went out on a night out getting into mischief
Waiting for midnight.turning ..ol 55🎉
Still listening to these Legends ....2022
Love love love this song. Still watching August 2022
Saw them as support to Roy Orbison at the State Theatre. Can not remember the year.

Oldies but goodies better then head banging music that just leaves you with a headache

1977 Gymea Highschool Frankie's brother was a teacher. We had them play at our highschool!
Up the Shire! :D
They played at Northmead High School twice - Hush played there too. What an era. How lucky we were.
The good old days
We play this in the band I am in. Rock 'n' Roll dancers love it.
I have the "Take It Greasy" album in vinyl!...Classic
you young ones don't no what you missed out on
Always loved the song - but I think I'll look for the version without the anonymous dancers edited in.
Top stuff. Luv it. Thanks for posting.
When Aussie music was FUN.
They never seemed to get the respect I think they well deserved because of their image as a novelty band. But they were seriously good.
If you look around you can find it on CD...I got mine from JB HiFi..you could also try amazon.com..they have a lot of hard to find CD's and DVD's.

Awh, you cut out the best part of the song! Frankie J. Holden's laugh at the end, you can't leave that out!
Much more subversive than today songs.
