No joke this song is actually about temporary erectile dysfunction. Listen to the lyrics ... ' this is no way to end the night... I am victim to the feeling and the feeling is not right... this is no time for my confidence to leave me all alone....so you comfort, kiss and hold the helpless hand.' I'd been listening to it for over 20 years and it finally all made sense.
Ok I don't post much actually this song is about a great Aussie artist and his band about deadlines and coming up with the goods and that's exactly what the boss has done here over and over again. Respect people. long live great aussie rock.
That is an all time fave song of mine. The Mondos pumping it out in venues across Australia in the 80's. Great to be in my 20's in the 80's. McCusker and Ross the Boss made a great song writing duo.
Summer of 81 and Chemistry are brilliant songs. They should have been hits outside Australia in my opinion, but I don't think the band was promoted in the UK and USA.
I remember hearing this song for the 1st time in the car with the old man on our way fishing when i was 10yo. I straight away asked my dad if he would give me money so i could by the single LP.
What style! What musical genius. One of the few truly talented bands whose songs were unique and original. The Aussie rock style of the early 80s had its own flavour.
Brings back memories growing up in Perth in the late 70's and early 80's Holidays on Rotto and down at margret river Feeling nostalgic such along time ago
Hi i have still got a video of the best aussie bands of the 80's including this and inxs cold chisel moving pictures to name a few still 32 to 40 years later still loving this music . Denise from Nottingham
I remembering going to see Mondo at The Patch Coolangatta 1982 NYE playing this song and back then they would start the song as SAVE THE WHALES SAVE THE WHALES..as they were asked by Greenpeace at the time if they would to get the message out.
Love the backing vocals in this track. It would have been hard to get them so spot-on with Ross's lead vocal phrasing, I'm guessing. Who is singing that high vocal part, Paul or Eric? Whoever it is they picked a bloody good note. Really adds to the sense of urgency.
I used to go to Tracks at Epping as well, back in the early 90's. Then in 2003 every Friday and Saturday night. Now my son and his mates go there... the apple doesn't fall far from the tree!! :-)
Just bought Nuovo Monda and Rabbit's Too Much Rock 'N' Roll on Discogs. I wish there was an Aussie online store like discogs as postage woud be a whole lot cheaper especially if local or from Victoria.
DIRECTOR: "Ross, we want to put you in a straitjacket and nail your feet to the floor for this video. Sound OK?" ROSS: "But I've got some really cool dance moves I wanna bust." DIRECTOR: "Errm... OK... You're the boss Ross." (whispers to the rest of band) "I tried." BASSIST: "Fuck, here we go again."
Gee, Mr Wilson your a grade above john farnham for sure, look how they tried to warn New Zealand but no- one is paying attention, i mean john doesn't hold a candle to you

@@doobiedanable Yep. it was Wilson's and McCusker's take on it inspired by the Beatles' "Don't Let Me Down" which was also written about the same thing.
I think Mondo Rock is one of the greatest Aussie bands. I grew up with this song; can still sing it word for word.
I totally agree… so cool 😎
@@kenhartley5736 : cooler than...and I'm 73
I saw them in 85 Summer Jam in Bellingen. Brilliant
Their smoothness belied the toughness of this great Aussie band
Go Daddy cool. He was the catalyst and God damn what a lead vocalist. Had the moves, had the emotion , had the drive
Aussie f#$%ing legend.
"it's 2020 now and
I wished music like
this was still around,
wait a minute it is
here on You Tube,
Great Music for
2020,thanks."-😎.
Love that Eric is using an Ibanez Blazer guitar in this video. He is one of Australia's true original Guitar Heroes.

One of the few who actually realised what he was singing about,
And very brave of Ross to write about it
I wouldn't know, I've never had the problem 😂

Wait till you find out what Turning Japanese actually means.😂
Alcohol and sex don't mix
This song is perfect. There is no time, do what you want to do, your life is a one shot deal.
Man. Almost 60 yrs still listening 2roz and the boys reliving my youth boss 🎉🎉🎉🎉
The eighties music is the best and it's a pity we're not in that decade anymore
That's a classic comment especially when there is a big clock in the video. Spank that naughty clock, that's for sure.
As someone born in the 1990s I’m glad we’ve left the 1980s. But yes, the 1980s culture was something special.
Dear God. Send me back to the 80s. My heart aches.
Same here
surely one of the best f#king guitar solos ever? absolutely ripped it!!!
It sure is. Very underrated.
Rick McKusker is a master of phrasing and interpretation on the guitar. He's the consummate musician.
@@grantharrismusic Eric
@@grantharrismusic eric mc cusker
I haven't heard this one for DECADES! It's a bloody ripper.
Five years later, still a ripper
Reminds me of 1982 science labs p.e and the weird teachers of the 80s. What a decade.
Great peice of Australian rock...loved by kiwi guy.
Some just as good Kiwi bands around that time too
Mondo. Rock , great Aussie Band ,so underrated, remember seeing them at Shellharbour Workers Club in the 80’s
That is an all time fave song of mine.
The Mondos pumping it out in venues across Australia in the 80's.
Great to be in my 20's in the 80's.
McCusker and Ross the Boss made a great song writing duo.
It’s good.
Growing up in the eighties, mondo rock were such a good Australian band. Great arrangements. Perhaps a little underrated.
Straya's like that - gems get passed over every day.
greatly underrated
Summer of 81 and Chemistry are brilliant songs. They should have been hits outside Australia in my opinion, but I don't think the band was promoted in the UK and USA.
Hugely under-rated!
The chemistry is always right with this super underrated Aussie cats.
Chemistry is one of their best songs.
@@ajs41 In the Summer of '81
An anagram of cats is acts.
Such young faces. Now I know I'm old.
Texas Gurl Here ..OMG Luv This Band so do my Gfs Australia's Awesome
Bless you!
If you love this you’ll love Ross’s earlier band Daddy Cool
👍🇦🇺
WELL G'day they were bigger than TEXAS in their TIME 💯💯 percent 👍😴👍
Def one of the most outstanding bands of the 80s and 90s. Daddy Cool become Ultra Cool under Ross Wilson!
This reminds me of driving up to Collaroy beach for a swim and a cornjack
I remember hearing this song for the 1st time in the car with the old man on our way fishing when i was 10yo. I straight away asked my dad if he would give me money so i could by the single LP.
It was that intro right?
How did he respond?
@@kdegraa he said no lol
Great story mate, love it. Cool.
What style! What musical genius. One of the few truly talented bands whose songs were unique and original. The Aussie rock style of the early 80s had its own flavour.
great band
men wore suits....classy👍👍👍👍
So much in this song great beat!
Every song was a winner with this band 👍
Awesome songs always sound awesome. Here is a perfect example
Brings back memories growing up in Perth in the late 70's and early 80's
Holidays on Rotto and down at margret river
Feeling nostalgic such along time ago
great tune, used to drive to work listening to Mondo Rock greatest hits on CD
Yeah all I can say is Wow! What a great song, an all time fave of mine, great musos and Ross Wilson, what a voice and stage presence!
Eric McCusker - so many great songs. Very under rated
WHAT a time to go out and party with tracks such as this!!!!!
Nothing like the 80s Aussie pub rock scene ..
Of many brilliant, Ross Wilson is THE genius of Melbourne music!
One of my favourite 80s Aussie songs 👍🏽
Apart from the great boxy driving bass sound, that guitar solo is VERY good - I didn' realise until now. One of Ross's best tracks for sure..
A well crafted pop / rock song; bloody awesome!
Hi i have still got a video of the best aussie bands of the 80's including this and inxs cold chisel moving pictures to name a few still 32 to 40 years later still loving this music . Denise from Nottingham
What swagger from Ross the Boss. One of the best solos ever from Eric.
love this song great music and great memories 😍
Great song and catchy song to sing to . Great band to .
Love his too Ross is a legend !!
What a cracking tune. Ross Wilson was such a great writer and the guitar solo is an underrated classic IMHO. Great arrangement too.
Wilson didn't write this song. It was Eric McCusker
great song played loud.
I cannot get my head around Ross .. champion , you are 72
Gold
great australian band great song
What a great groove!!
I've got NO TIME for people who click Dislike on this song
Love this!
One of the BEST Ross Wilson.
Shit yeah.
Another Quiet Achiever Thanks Mate.
;P
Probably Ross Wilson and peter Garrett were 2 of the most unique australian lead singers. Real good frontman singers.
I forgot about this band
Great Song ! Sounds very "Foreigner" like.
one of the best ever!!
Mondo rock ,top 10 of the best Aussie bands ever, ross Wilson you are a fuc#ing legend
I remembering going to see Mondo at The Patch Coolangatta 1982 NYE playing this song and back then they would start the song as SAVE THE WHALES SAVE THE WHALES..as they were asked by Greenpeace at the time if they would to get the message out.
in two years this will be 40 years old. Ahhh!!!!
This is one slick song - I don't think I really appreciated it when I was 11-12 (year released); I guess I was just a kid....
Me either. My word I appreciate its genius now though.
Easy listening 80' I've ever heard this songs at McDonald too
Eric is one of the best guitarists ever
He's a better songwriter
Looking forward to next June.
This was definitely global break out material......still gr8 27 years later
a very underrated song
Paul Christie on Bass went on to form THE PARTY BOYS a few years later.
Ross Wilson very talented song writer.love mondo rock and daddy cool.legenfs.
Such a class act this Amazing band!! So many hits and what a fab period to be around to enjoy. Are we progressing? Sadly not.
Best music back then
Love the backing vocals in this track. It would have been hard to get them so spot-on with Ross's lead vocal phrasing, I'm guessing. Who is singing that high vocal part, Paul or Eric? Whoever it is they picked a bloody good note. Really adds to the sense of urgency.
I remember seeing Mondo Rock at Tracks nightclub at Epping. That was a LONG time ago now I wonder if it's still there
leokimvideo OMG I used to go to tracks
I used to go to tracks aswell
I lived in a small new block of units just down the street back in the early eighties
Ha ha ha - that was a nostalgia bomb to read!!
It's still there but not the same thumping night club at is used to be. I worked the bar 1990-1995
I used to go to Tracks at Epping as well, back in the early 90's. Then in 2003 every Friday and Saturday night. Now my son and his mates go there... the apple doesn't fall far from the tree!! :-)
Coolest Visual AND INTRO EVER...Hey Oh Hey Oh Hey Hey Hey Oh
I Fucking love this
Tell us this is no timeeeee!
Mad Song ✌️

Love this song, definitely one of their best.
No Time? Looks like 11:15 to me....

He's been doing it ever since
Ross Wilson is a great singer
Looks like a split image of simon westaway in his younger years
Which Seal Song do you Imagine GOES with my Continuum
She's stuck in NZ and my 💓 is broken
Their bassist Paul Christie told me it was a very easy song to write, because it only has one verse!
It out Cars the Cars!!!!!!!
As if
Gee, Mr Wilson your a grade above john farnham for sure, look how they tried to warn New Zealand but no- one is paying attention, i mean john doesn't hold a candle to you
come back again I'm now mondo rock fuck never released it was ross wilson for both
I think Ross was inspired by Perth band the boys from their song wheo wheo..
Gail the whale, Gail the way ay ull.
Are they singing “hale the whale”?
No, they're singing "At Oh Oh Ay Oh."
@@davidcarr2649 it still sounds “Hale the whale” to me.
Here. I cheated.

Anybody else know what this song is actually about?
Nope
Its a song about being stood up by a woman.

@@dianasendt9509 well as the song says: "there are some things that a woman can in no way understand."
I think Ross was ahead of his time
