You take bands like this for granted when you are younger, only later realising how great they really are. I grew up loving the harder stuff, AC/DC, The Angels, etc, but Mondo Rock are a superb band, I hope they are never forgotten.
Couldn’t agree more. Mondo Rock were never anyone’s favourite band and never sexy but as I get older I appreciate his brilliance. From Daddy Cool to Mondo Rock to producing The Johnny’s to writing for John Farnham, Ross is brilliant and the Australian music industry should give him more credit. Rick Springfield covered this song too.
I'm the same. Mondo Rock was never on my playlist when I was younger. Now I look back and know they should have been. They still sound great in 2022. And I think they will always sound great.
What a thoughtful comment. I often find myself now in my 50s re-visiting these artists and appreciating their musicianship and song-writing skills. Thank you for your comment.
I understand you.... I feel the same way Good times, huh ? i was like 8 years old haha Feels weird saying that , especially since i'm 47 now i remember this was on the radio all the time i had a little pocket radio that was in those old black leather pouches. if you remember yeah.. remembering this definitely brings a tear to the eye
Dont know if you guys cares but if you're bored like me atm you can stream pretty much all of the new series on InstaFlixxer. Have been watching with my gf for the last few days =)
I was listening to this song as a young boy when I heard my father had died. The song had just been released that week. Still haunts me 41 years later. Beautiful song.
it IS a beautiful haunting song ...im so sorry for all those lost this song reminds us of...may they forever live in the sunshine of our timeless memories and heart.
As an 18 yr old apprentice listening to this hit in the workshop in the early 80’s in Adelaide .. brings back great memories... cars, girls, mates, music.... simple times, but great times.
Better music , nice , more humble non woke women, could buy a paddle pop=40c; play an arcade gme for 40c as well! And i remember wrigleys chewing gum could be bought along with 3 or 4 footy cards in early 80,s
A beautiful timeless classic. I remember being 10 years old sitting next to the family record player playing this single and now I am sitting here tonight listening to it on my laptop 35 years later, loving it just as much.
Today I walked into a shop that had this playing. I stood with tears in my eyes. It took me straight back to a time when, for me, things were so much simpler. It is a beautiful song 🖤
I'm a 57 year old man and I'm not embarrassed to say that I too tear up when I hear this and other songs from this wonderful time. I don't recognise anything anymore. I feel like a visitor from another planet.
It is a beautiful song, although I doubt that 1981 was a simple life, even as we look back, it seems so. I bet your chemicals and thoughts were rushing back and forth, your doubts and dreams were throbbing and plummeting moment to moment. Unresolved. It is still great to be alive.
Another Aussie classic. Used to play this song at our nightly teenage beach bonfires at Greenpatch in Jervis Bay during a summer long ago. Stanley Leasingham, Winny Blues and life without care.
I'm annoyed that no-one here in the UK knew about this band in the 1980s. I'm sure their songs would have been very popular if people had been aware of them.
Another classic from the 1981 Chemistry album...this album deserves much more recognition and appreciation as one of the greatest Australian albums ever released.
I recently found an old and very heavy sharp radio cassette ghetto blaster in a council hard waste collection ! a mondo rock tape in the deck ! I get if home plug it in and presto old school Aussie 80's music it doesn't get any better and probably the first time the tape has been played in decades ! as I get older I'll always be grateful to have been old enough to remember this music when it was first released even if I was only a kid !
Everytime I view these guys, oh the memories take me back to the best days of my life. My teenage years, tears come into my eyes, the 70, 80's. If I could turn back time. XOX
But do you like to have got older now and had kids maybe Grandkids? Are you retired yet ? Yes we’re great times and everyone tends to make the same comments so does mean that you wanted to be a teenager forever ? Never grow up , get married , have kids etc ?
I love everything about the 80’s. Being a little girl in the 80’s & a teen in the 90’s. I’m so stuck in this era, so much great music & great memories of the world.
I THANK GOD...THAT I WAS BLESSED TO BE BORN IN 1961...TO EXPERIENCE THE BEST MUSIC HAS TO OFFER...AS I LOOKED LISTENED & LEARNT MY WAY TO ADULTHOOD...THANKYOU.
well. i'm going to have to be the middle man amongst you all we have a few 60's born we have 1 81 born I'm born 73 in Sydney and yes this was an awesome time for me , Very fond memories
Hadn't heard this song since the early 80's when I was about 10 years old....hearing it again takes me straight back to those beautiful summers when your a kid in Australia. Coming at the song now as a musician, I realise just what perfect songwriting it is. Great musicianship, the drums and bass lock in so well. Had to learn to play Mondo's Cool World in my band (another brilliant song) and started to listen to some of their other stuff that I hadn't listened to in 30 years....glad I did.
In the UK we didn't know anything about this band which seems totally ridiculous. I'm sure they would have been popular if the record company had released their records over here. Summer of 81 and Come Said The Boy are my favourites.
Aussie rock is stronger than its ever been, unless you're an old guy who rages against clouds, complains about the youth of today and stresses about their cassette tapes not working anymore.
Every Mondo Rock song was fantastic. They were awesome to listen to during the 80's. Ross the Boss Wilson was successful with Daddy Cool and over ten years after Mondo Rock just as Big.
Mondo Rock was the first live band I saw as a teenager. It was at a place called Stewarts Hotel in Maroochydore on the Sunshine Coast, one of the best bands I've seen and still love their music some 25 years later.
I never knew about this version. I had only heard of Rick Springfield's cover. Both are very good. I also like his former wife Pat Wilson's Bop Girl. The 80's were so good music wise.
I was only 5 when I first heard this on radio and I only just heard it again after so long...Brings some peace and serious contemplation in 2020 as a 42 year old now...Makes you think about of a lot of things but in the end you can just chill to it, ages like fine wine.
i met ross Wilson at a gig in Albury 2004. he was a legend. took time to meet fans and sign tickets. very friendly. and the performance was unbelieve. true rock legend
Saw you last Saturday Ross and this is still my favourite song. A timeless classic. Love it. Thanks for the photo and the signed CD. You wrote Stay cool Leanne. I am so touched. xxx regards Leanne
One of my fav songs from the Australian music era of that time. Living on the Gold Coast were you could experience iconic Aussie bands at the Bombay Rock at Surfer's and the Playroom at Tallebudgera. Both pulled down many years ago!
Bombay Rock at the top of Cavill Avenue if I remember rightly. I lived in Brisbane from 82 to 87. The Rock, The Calamvale and The Roxy in The Valley were the 3 big venues for touring artists. I saw some great bands in those venues during a golden age of Aussie pub rock. You don't appreciate how special the times are until they are gone and all you have left are the memories.
@@MisterRSG remember the Jet Club? It was a little further down Cav as you headed to the beach. Then there was Hemi at the Beer Garden on a Sunday arvo.
this reminds me of when I was really little in south Australia now im in chilly usa and I still can imagine listening to this on the car radio on a summer day
Lived in Adelaide from 2001 to 2003.Best placed I have ever lived.Planning to move back there when I retire in 10 years.I still return every couple of years as my fathers resting place is there and pay my respects,visit friends/family.
Immensely grateful that Garth Davis' film "Lion" brought me here. What a fantastic and underrated song especially here in the States where the Rick Springfield Cover played mostly. The cover by RS being exquisite too.
The window man came as i played this song,he was so Happy!! Said aww wow i was at the Countdown show as a teen 😊 Memories for All..Least we can hold onto those 💜💜💜
81...a tumultuous time in my young life..moved suburbs,1st year of high school at a place where i knew nobody and had to fend for myself...great oz music like this transports me back to that time..
Reading the comments and listening to this, bought tears to my eyes. Tears of happiness that I grew up listening to these songs. Tears of sadness that the world has serious;y turned to shit. To all us 70's babies, we are seriously the lucky ones.
Wow.... this was a magical song to me. I remember camping at Moreton Island and hearing this. My boyfriend came over to see me. So nice. I was 17. I wish I knew what I knew now. Sigh....
I remember arriving Oz in "76, a snot-nose kid from NZ for a one year backpacking holiday and discovering the Aussie music scene, and never left...until 22 years later to work here in Singapore. Give my left testicle to go back to those days, awesome. Still remember (although fading with age) seeing INXS live at the Trade Union Club in Surrey Hills as one of many fond memories,,fuk lol
Heard this during a scene in the movie Lion, had to find it, after hearing the whole thing I remember hearing this as a kid....so happy to hear it again...great song!!
I thought the song was appropriate for that Qantas jet scene in movie. Saroo is a confused state of the heart. Although he is moving on to a new and better life in a first world nation, he longs to see his natural family in India.

Reflected more cruisey laid back times!

I'm 55. Anytime I feel down or need to escape today's crap. This is where I go. Late 70s early 80s music. The ultimate lift.❤
Same with 80,s movies! > take me back!😢
Helps escape the madness
Fills my heart and breaks it at the same time that these days are gone
I understand you.... I feel the same way
Good times, huh ?
i was like 8 years old haha
Feels weird saying that , especially since i'm 47 now
i remember this was on the radio all the time
i had a little pocket radio that was in those old black leather pouches.
if you remember
yeah.. remembering this definitely brings a tear to the eye
But not forgotten , they were good times , am happy to have moved through to now..
ohhh how true :(

Well John, we must be the same age. I remember being 18 and a 3rd year apprentice and listening to this song in our workshop...in Sydney.
Couldn't agree more,best times living back then as a teenager could not have been better ,shame about today's questionable noise

Now THAT is nostalgia!@@MAte925
Mondo Rock were are great Aussie band. This is a classic song. Us Aussies were blessed with great music back in the day.
Today we ignore this. Of course we neglect those before us. Who can say what was the pop music in 1834?
whatever was played on their radios, I guess@@kdegraa
A beautiful timeless classic. I remember being 10 years old sitting next to the family record player playing this single and now I am sitting here tonight listening to it on my laptop 35 years later, loving it just as much.
A classic I grew up with I can relate to this song
I was about 9 and this song brings back such great memories
I was 7 and doing the same.
Legends
Takes you back in time, Love this song so much.
Today I walked into a shop that had this playing. I stood with tears in my eyes. It took me straight back to a time when, for me, things were so much simpler. It is a beautiful song 🖤

I don't recognise anything anymore. I feel like a visitor from another planet.
We're you born in the early 70s like me,I feel it too,my grandmother was a mc intosh and I have an aunty liz which is her daughter 😊
It is a beautiful song, although I doubt that 1981 was a simple life, even as we look back, it seems so. I bet your chemicals and thoughts were rushing back and forth, your doubts and dreams were throbbing and plummeting moment to moment. Unresolved. It is still great to be alive.
@@dondrapper3275 I am a 73 year old man and I tear up too.
I'm reading the comments & nodding
one of the most under rated pop tunes ever. it songs like this that demonstrate how pop can be classy and tasty yet be fun. fantastic era
Great old song
Cool calm and collected.
In fairness Ross Wilson was a genius.
@@Celtic_Thylacine he's still kicking
"You are the Moon
I am the Sea..
You pull me in
And gaze on down at me"
Amazing lyrics, Ross Wilson's voice has such depth and such range. Love him!
Ross is a bloody legend.

I had their album "up to the moment" on cassette. That had this on it too
Summer of 81 is a brilliant single.
The best song ever written! So privileged to have worked with Mondo Rock many years ago. Wonderful people, with immense deep talent!
You would have such great memories
There is such a romance in this song.... Such a classic.. Literally a master class in how to write and perform a song!
1981 I was 16 years old my teenage days are over but this song will never get old wish I could turn back the time
Me too. I was 16 too. I'm in Japan, but when I want to go back in time.... this song does it.
great song. it's rediculous it didn't chart here in the USA. Thanks for posting this Gem. 😊
Never knew it didn't chart here, but I remember it from MTV.
Rick Springfield's version did hit the charts here though, peaking at #22 on the billboard hot 100 in 1985.
Everytime I view these guys, oh the memories take me back to the best days of my life.
My teenage years, tears come into my eyes, the 70, 80's.
If I could turn back time.
XOX
There is a song in that
Oh, absolutely!
But do you like to have got older now and had kids maybe Grandkids? Are you retired yet ? Yes we’re great times and everyone tends to make the same comments so does mean that you wanted to be a teenager forever ? Never grow up , get married , have kids etc ?
The cruel side of life is not that we age, but the fact that we have the unfortunate ability to contemplate it.
I loved this song back then & still do in Aug 2019.
certainly one of his very best
songs like this never gets old. Songs can hold memories and listening to good music like this never fades.
I love everything about the 80’s. Being a little girl in the 80’s & a teen in the 90’s. I’m so stuck in this era, so much great music & great memories of the world.

www.ralphnicoloffart.com I often think the same thing. I was born in 65, all the best music ever we had pretty good
Me too 61 in Sydney. Amazing music!
Born in 81, looks like it was the best time ever
well. i'm going to have to be the middle man amongst you all
we have a few 60's born

Aussie 80s music---ahhh, classy classics...
Australian-born artist Rick Springfield covered this song and took it to Number #22 in the Billboard charts (in 1985)
Wow. I didn't know that. Didn't he sing Jessie's girl ?
This is one of my favorite songs of Rick’s. I didn’t know until now it was a cover.
Aussies are great musicians
Great vocals. Perfect piece of music.
I love this one and come said the boy. Smooth music.. long live the 80s music
Saw them again for their 40th anniversary still as damn good
Some bands get better with age
Do you reckon they will tour again?
Mate wot times.
Growing up in 80s in Strayla.
Best times best vibes.
Never to be repeated.
In the UK we didn't know anything about this band which seems totally ridiculous. I'm sure they would have been popular if the record company had released their records over here. Summer of 81 and Come Said The Boy are my favourites.
true aussie rock is dead now, in mainstream anyway.. im blessed to have grown up in that great era of 70s & 80s can always look back and smile..
+hazard3331 thank the government for their noise restrictions....
Government don't have any....Local councils do, and Melbourne has been largely unaffected.Sydney's music scene was killed off by them for sure.
God, this takes me back!
Auditory memory kicks in -- life so simple, powerful youth, summers, friends, music, dreams of rock stardom...
Hazard3331. I dont think it is dead, it just isn't the same as it was when we were growing up
Aussie rock is stronger than its ever been, unless you're an old guy who rages against clouds, complains about the youth of today and stresses about their cassette tapes not working anymore.

there should be a 'love' button
This is old music for me but when I hear it I want to melt?
Did you melt?
This band and singer are right up there with the best.
A song I love very much. The voice, the melody, the lyrics are all, so cool.
Simply well constructed and meaningful song.
Eric McKusker - such an underrated songwriter
how good is this, all these years later and it still hasn't aged, what a grouse band.
My whole teenage years were all in the 1980s.. So glad...
Wish we could go back in time
What a great old song
So such a good one! First time I've heard it in ages

One of my fav songs from the Australian music era of that time. Living on the Gold Coast were you could experience iconic Aussie bands at the Bombay Rock at Surfer's and the Playroom at Tallebudgera. Both pulled down many years ago!
Bombay Rock at the top of Cavill Avenue if I remember rightly. I lived in Brisbane from 82 to 87. The Rock, The Calamvale and The Roxy in The Valley were the 3 big venues for touring artists. I saw some great bands in those venues during a golden age of Aussie pub rock. You don't appreciate how special the times are until they are gone and all you have left are the memories.
Bombay Rock was an awesome night out
@@MisterRSG remember the Jet Club? It was a little further down Cav as you headed to the beach. Then there was Hemi at the Beer Garden on a Sunday arvo.
An amazing song and the lyrics are fantastic too !!!!.
this reminds me of when I was really little in south Australia now im in chilly usa and I still can imagine listening to this on the car radio on a summer day
memories from a far away place a long time ago ! I was around nine years old when this came out !

Saw Ross and his band at a church hall with about 70 people about 6 months ago,awesome
Immensely grateful that Garth Davis' film "Lion" brought me here. What a fantastic and underrated song especially here in the States where the Rick Springfield Cover played mostly. The cover by RS being exquisite too.

Happy to find this song again after so many years. It's just as beautiful now. Love Ross's stage presence and voice in this! So amazing
This was the best one for me by far.
Best for me too 😍😙♥️♥️
Not many artists could hit the notes Ross Wilson does in this. Bloody fantastic song.
What an amazing transition from Daddy Cool ten years earlier. Ross Wilson must go down as one of Australia's greatest singer song writers!
Amazing how music can put you into that memory,like it's now🤗
one of the first singles I bought as a 13-year-old kid growing up in Prahran spending my pay earned from selling newspapers on Chapel St.
Love that song. We can't always have what we want. Great emotions
Timeless!
да круто
the bass line in this tune works so well
Great vocals. Perfect piece of music.
Another classic from the 80s
This song is so beautiful, from the bass lines to the chorus effect on the vocals...
A song I love very much. The voice, the melody, the lyrics are all, so cool.
This was the best one for me by far.
Seen Ross Wilson twice in the last year and he still sounds just like he did then. This is just a Mondo Rock classic.
This is old music for me but when I hear it I want to melt?
A lovely comment, this. :-)
Did you melt?
Beautiful song. Monday Rock songs are always great.
...er... Mondo Rock... :)
The bridge is simply amazing. Then, the vocal highs. This track is heavenly.
So many memories come back with this and other 80 s songs
Such a classic song, loved it in my teens and I now appreciate it more heading towards the mid century!
I was 11 when this came out. Mondo Rock was 'adult' music but I loved it
Reading the comments and listening to this, bought tears to my eyes. Tears of happiness that I grew up listening to these songs. Tears of sadness that the world has serious;y turned to shit. To all us 70's babies, we are seriously the lucky ones.
Love this beautiful song. I used to sing this song all the time. Love his voice . What a leagend.
Wow.... this was a magical song to me. I remember camping at Moreton Island and hearing this. My boyfriend came over to see me. So nice. I was 17. I wish I knew what I knew now. Sigh....
Great band. McCusker wrote some rippers. Chemistry is still one of my favourite Aussie albums. Saw them live early 2019....they were on their game.
Lying in the back of my van at the beach listening to this with my girlfriend, best time of my life
Theres nothing like hearing music..just true music!
Just a classic Aussie song by one of the greatest singers!
golden era of aussie rock bands....they earned their stripes by having to play live in pubs...No streaming or uploading or you tube etc!
helen Gianis I wish I could give you more likes because it's so true ...
the bass line in this tune works so well
superb music.
