Thank YOU! :) ;)

[kenpochinko]

I was drumming to Scotland the Brave bagpipes if you want to know what REM and their crew was doing. They had a big black banner that said REM and thats the only reason why they let this band in front of a bunch of wealthy kids. I grew up and became the Prussian Royal Family King and Kaiser Fernidad Frederick.

[kenpochinko]

Extra pesma!Pozdrav iz Srbije

[91joelt]

This song is so addictive. I mean, there's something about this song that I can't get enough with especially the part where they sing together before the chorus which is by the way a killer chorus with kick-ass lyrics.

[kiran2368]

The coolest Aussie of all time...the guy is so cool.

[karter77]

@1973mazdarx4coupe I'm a Native American. I believe you are right that handouts won't help people be self-sufficient. However, success defined by my tribe isn't success defined by the Euro-centric society I live in. The former success is much less attainable in this society. To succeed in the latter is to put one's culture second for another. Therefore, there is no clear win, just the lesser of two evils. I believe that native aussies have a similar problem.

[gleengetz]

i really love this song!!!!!!=)

[Midnightryder7]

This song still makes me want to get up and dance..

[1973mazdarx4coupe]

i think its hard to not be an aussie and fully understand what it means to be aussie. its also important not to throw money after bad, stop giving for free to the native aussies, but let them at any time they want to improve their situation, to help and support them in any way NON FINANCIALLY. its time we said were all equal, we cant change history, but its time for no handouts and community charity, hope, and faith in ourselves as human beings.

[snuffleguff]

Loved it in 87. Love it today. As an adult, I realize the message is still relevant. Kind of sad. I hope now for a day when Midnight Oil is no longer relevant.

[alotastars]

this is not today that is oooooollllllddddd

[Death2theNWO777]

music today is shit, no meaning in the words etc...

80's was wsome...

[jamestheawsome100]

@Death2theNWO777 finaly someone agrees with me. rock today in my opinion is just junk and rap is bad for people. i beleive it influences violence it sends a negitive message.

[mandaloolu]

what country are these guys from?

[Supersweetguy]

@mandaloolu Midnight Oil, known also as "The Oils" to fans, are an Australian rock band from Sydney originally performing as Farm from 1972 with drummer Rob Hirst, bass guitarist Andrew James and keyboard player/lead guitarist Jim Moginie. While vocalist Peter Garrett was studying at Australian National University in Canberra, he answered an advert for a spot in Farm, and by 1975 the band was touring the east coast.

[amber7743]

WTF,MY FAV SONG,AWESOME

[yantanino27]

this song reminds me alot back in the day...great....excellent...

[azl65]

nobody comes close to the oils...not ever

[mjsarzadon]

one the cool song of the 80s

[szewei85]

haha i love the 80s...the real music era unlike the lady gaga hip hop crap that has been shoved up our ass now damm

[cw3le]

@szewei85 Say what you want, but "Bad romance" by Lady Gaga is, with it's 180 milions of views, the most viewed video on YouTube and this one has nearly and only 4 milions. ;-)

[szewei85]

@cw3le because there is 180 million idiots viewing it n i m not one of them hahaha

[Dullence92]

@szewei85 hahah i agree. Gaga sucks. knowing the IQ of her fans they can't start song in one try. so 1 man needs 1000 times to try. it's not then so much people.

[drumcatf8]

@szewei85 right on brother....and dont forget we didnt get any lube either

[yoanncr]

i live in france, video not aivable in my country, please upload another one with english subtitle please

[ksenijaaks]

strong song ,singer gives me a creap ,but i like it ..

[Lurkzz]

Is this Garret guy a faker? He sings about give the land back to aboriginals , and now he's some kinda minister and don't cares aboriginals? True?

[Danteklfg]

Well, I think many people these days are disappointed with him.

[calvinisafatty]

fuckin fantastic

[mknbugs]

GREAT song-- be nice kids

[BlackDJ123]

we know that the whites take all things needed. let them have at it an let see a change . i don,t think it,s possible!!

[BlackDJ123]

maybe we need to be more in touch with our plant called earth. our home  .we can,t leave .think about it ..

[MikeKool86]

His voice is so eighties

[bama3417]

Good song.

[1980MF1980]

This music is about passion and emotion not so much cool snobism or intellect, it flows from him, he doesn't hide behind it

[vampayerLestat]

right on!! I love this type of music!

[PRFCHEWY]

well i dont sleep on my bed when its burning i sleep on the ground

[Bassmaster86]

simple solution.

[Tinyoak2]

he reminds me of Michael Berryman (The hills have eyes 1977 version), which is kinda creepy.

[AussieNewsViews]

Well Australians have this Moron as a Labor Member of Parliament, and he is just as creepy in every way

[rosiebowden52]

Bull shit. He's quite a good member actually, and even though his movements are somewhat , well, stupid, the music is Awesome

[1980MF1980]

his movements aren't stupid, he's got so much badassness coming out of him he can't help to be thrown around by it

[rosiebowden52]

Yes, you are right. I never thought of it like that. Although I think he's really a gentle soul under all that movement.

[AussieNewsViews]

Under Garretts stewardship, ie the introduction of the FREE home insulation so far in NSW alone 15 homes have been burnt to the ground, and Australia wide two installers, highly inexperienced UNTRAINED installers have been KILLED via electrocution, the most recent a 17 year old boy in Queensland a week ago.

By Labor Standards I am sure he deserves your praise of "He's quite a good member actually,"

This arse clown does not know his arse hole from his elbow.

"Houses are Burning"

[rosiebowden52]

Hmmm obviously a liberal voter. No such drama in Victoria

[rosiebowden52]

Give you people something for free and you still bloody winge

[AussieNewsViews]

So Rudd borrowing $300 billion fron China to BUY PINK BATS AND welfare hand outs from them, so he and Madame Gillard can "give them" to Australians is FREE is it ? so China has cancelled the loan has it?

If not who the hell do you think is going to have to pay it back you clown ? Kevin 07? ACTU? or the Tooth Fairy?Australian TAXPAYERS YA DUMB SHIT and it will be a hell of a lot more than the 300 billion Rudd and his new age dream time crystal gazers have signed up for ,

Enjoy those Bats

[rosiebowden52]

Easily fixed YA DUMB SHIT, piss off and live somewhere else. Dont bother replying, it wont be read.

[rosiebowden52]

Yeh Ok nothing to do with dodgy workmanship is it.

[AussieNewsViews]

Yes it surely is and who has given these unskilled unqualified snake oil salesmen permission to run riot throughout Australia ripping off taxpayers and home owners ?

None other than the Arse Clown's Rudd, Wong and GARRETT.

[elgemini1]

this dude rocks with his cool dance moves!!!!

[thefarmer55]

Une chanson très profonde, tout simplement inimitable!!!

[mr710c]

I have to admit, his dancing is freakin awesome! i wish we still had music like this pouring out into our society.

[migbee]

@mr710c There's still plenty of good music out there...

[sourpixel]

I luv this classic jam but Damn!! that windmill sound gives me the creeps for some reason

It sounds like a freaking sick animal or something making howling sounds or something in a baron wasteland chills!!

[TARH8R]

how can ne 1 say they dont like his dancing fkn rippa awsome as

[thatsit07]

Thats how ravers danced before the melb shuffle...

[TARH8R]

haha yeh but they got it off him they copied him, just like all techno shit most of it are remixes of old GOOD songs that are now turned to shit

[thesofty2121]

Thank you ,y tube for bringing so many old tunes back to my memorey ,and to all that contribute your all great.Thanks.

[TezzaPKS]

I so love this band... they say it how it really is

I have met and so respect 'real' native Indigenous Aussies

[kekonenaafoutre]

We cut trees to pay the trees that we cut !

[iam18iswearreally]

Your subtitles, albeit great, are wrong at 3:45. It should be "It belongs to them, we're gonna give it back."

[danrhcpsk8]

NINOCHIVA im a mexican-italian, but let me tell you, this song make history, was the firts group on take care the global warming situation arround the world and by the way great dance too. GREEN PEACE! THO EVERYBODY!

[timdelvecchio]

@danrhcpsk8 too bad global warming is a farce

[silver8901]

nah i don think they'll pass C02 tax...

and if they do they'll havt to take away fuel tax and all that stuff...

also BCzepa if you live in Australia and watch GWN or channel 7 u would no bout the state of towns in the Northen Teritory

[bellydweller]

wow politically and socially conscious aussies. I thought the just like to drink, fuck, and fight

[iran2025]

this song reminds me of penis

[HomicideTroop901]

oh really, this song reminds me of you being raped by george bush in the ass!

[vaneslayer]

Typical, coming from some iranian.

Low blow I know, but how does it feel???

[iran2025]

it feels ok, i find it funny when a lower species tries to bring me to school ... without Iran (i.e. the Aryans) & the Persian Empire you would still be a tadpole in a polluted lake near an African river...so i just blame your ignorance on society's ills, nothing more. I love you :)

[matixbird]

mediocrity attacks excellence. =]~ you haters, lol

[marlenem93]

my sister lives in NC and just told me her boss wants her to go to las vegas with him and he was n a band called midnight oil and he was the drummer.... wow def didnt know they were this big! haha wierd...but cool. i could get into this.

[queengirlofNY]

belle parole ca ne la pas empecher de vendre son ame au diable

[zempke]

i think al gore took credit for doing this song in the 90s

[thedjlondon]

novaspace - beds are burning . everyone check it out!

[LowBudgetAnimation]

Didn't anyone think to give him dancing lessons before they shot this video!?!?!?

[holl01]

His dancing is sensational, very original, infact, when he starts dancing infront of the setting sun, thats the favourite part of the song clip IMO, goodbye

[BCzepa]

Fuck you man! theres an art to mastering the "peter garret" style of dance. you might not understand it, but that doesnt mean you have to diss it.

[silver8901]

No where not that pissed off...

and Garret deos care about the environment (he is the minister of environment) and Rudd is actually pretty straight forward...

But this song is my Fav by Midnight Oil

[bigpimpin2809]

Rudd is a straight forward mandarin speaking rat..... Carbon tax my ass... its nearly as stupid as making an oxygen tax...

[bluey70blue]

This song made Garret a superstar(& very rich).Garret does'nt give a damn about Aboriginal people as he supports the Northern Territory intervention which has been labelled as racist by external examiners.Using the most disadvantaged people in Australia for personal gain is dispicable.Not to mention his supoprt for nuclear power plants.Garret is such a phony & can't sing or dance.This from a once true believer in Peter Garret.Where has this mans soul gone.Or has rudd got it chained.Rudd phony to

[BCzepa]

ok, hold on. If im correct the northern territory intervention is something to do with cutting off money and making them get off thier ass. "external examiners"? haha that would be right man.. external.. you have to live in communities with COONS living dole check to dole check to buy enough emu export and veeno to litter our sacred bushland and waterholes. to understand how good an intervention is. Aboriginals dont live off the land like they used to for a reason.. cause its easyer to bludge.

[liniebee]

if only peter garret would dance like this in parliament!!

[areyouatree]

I couldn't agree more, JacobWeinberg....it definitely needs more cowbell!

[roydstar123]

GAY????? Don't think so

[GoatCarte]

i love the fact that he is a famous musician, a politician and gay. pretty cool.

[ForgotAboutShray]

uhh, not gay. married with 3 kids

[JacobWeinberg]

needs more cowbell

[IHaveAReason7]

got to kinda admire the guy, he's not afraid to dance, no matter what he looks like doing it

[rongravy]

aussies sure are pissed off about alot of shit. more than even us. wheeeeeeeeeeeeeee.

[kayge]

2:52

BEST DANCE SEQUENCE EVER.

hahahahah

[GuppyPal]

I wonder how much coke that guy snorted before this video.

[malonde]

No matter what, this song is awesome. I've always known it was an aussie song, but being an American, I can't go get my own song. I love yours too much :-)

[TheSteelerfan74]

Holy Crap Dogfarts, you sure are and angry LIberal, ain't ya. I just said "ultra left wing", I didnt really insult anyone and fyi...I vote Democrat, but I do not accept crap from any party or politician liberal or conservative, ppl like yourself only hurt causes we take up by giving the real right wing ammunition. "look at the angry liberal" is one of there fav's...Don't play into there traps guys...if I was a rightie, i'd LOVE you right now dogfarts...

[MrGezza123]

How can some stupid yank say this song belongs to america?? its about aborignials and the land plus the stolen/lost generation!! but you knew that already huh??!!!

[chrometanned]

I said APPLIES. Not BELONGS. Or is reading not your strong point? The same thing happened to the American natives. Therefore it *applies* to America as well because THE SAME THING HAPPENED TO THE NATIVES HERE.

[MrGezza123]

Ok gi joe hold onto your horses, my mistake action man, it can apply to america just like most songs can...but this is for us aussies :) go get your own song!!

[chrometanned]

On a brighter note, I think this dude should have his own dance school :o)

[theknack101]

Hey everybody, shut the fuck up.

Don't try to apply this to america. It has nothing to do with us. Just listen to the fucking song.

[chrometanned]

This song DOES apply to America. WE should give our ill begotten country back as well. This country was STOLEN and built on the backs of people we didn't give a shit about: the Irish, Chinese, Africans, and other downtrodden people of the time. Yes, I think this song does apply to us.

[theknack101]

Yes, we did wrong in the past, but there isn't much we can do about it now.

Give it back you say? Okay, lets give it back. To whom though? The Irish? The Chinese? The Africans? Who would we give it to? And what happens to the old oppressors? do their descendants just leave? And to where?

My point is that there is not much that can be done about the past. We just need to do better in the future. I'd say we already Unless YOU have a great idea.

[jacobpro1]

@theknack101

Although I like this video, its good intentions, and classic dance moves, I couldn't agree more with you. It's important for people to remember that just as a child can't be faulted if her parents make poor decisions, a people whose ancestors made bad decisions in the past cannot be expected to pay back those who were harmed. It is unfortunate, but the best thing for all parties really is to focus on the future and make sure history doesn't repeat itself.

[youngdirectorgames]

When they're playin on the car it reminds me of Combat Rock's cover.

[klutz94306]

the lead singer reminds me of michael stipe from REM.

[youngdirectorgames]

agreed

[chickensoup44]

I think he took dance lessons from my brother..LMAO

[killahbong]

exactly lol

[TheSteelerfan74]

Just what the world needs, another musician turned ultra left wing politician...is there any other kind really?

[dogfarts888]

Hey, just what the world needs, another dumb yank trying to inflict his toxic views on the world. Have your economy collapse lately? lol

[axonneuron]

We're not all that dumb.

[Thetyanet]

Classy, typical right wing bigot, you take the whole topic and throw it in the trash, then you start slinging mud.

I guess because you have a hard time with being wrong, so you just get all defensive and shooting everything that gets near you.

Moron.

[TheCommish2008]

LOL

[buloym4]

dance man, dance!

[murf69]

Too bad hes a fucking turncoat.

[schuey7wc]

good old peter "two left feet"garrett!
