[gailmckennag]

did i see richard pleasance / boom crash opera ???

[RubyRed4eva]

Shit I can't believe this was 29 years ago!!!!!! Doesn't time fly when you are having fun...and I still adore that song!

[colinmauchline]

Saw this band on hey hey it's Saturday way back in 1982...they completely blew me away brings back memories of a musical period in the early '80s that existed for a far short lived period.

[dazincalculation]

@colinmauchline and I think i heard this on Countdown. Yes they came n went too quickly.

[adamcharney]

First time hearing these guys. Sound an awful lot like The Jam. Brilliant!!!

[metemi]

Great song. Love this brief musical period as well.

[jhmagna]

Cool song. Brings back memories.

[greenaissance]

How slick was that!

[Birgos56]

[kanga999]

You might notice that the young Guitarist (yellow Guitar) went on to bigger things with Boom Crash Opera !!!

[javtec]

Lovely little pop gem from our past

[nouveauxdecadence]

DIE for this track, another GREAT one from Serious Young Insects is "I Want Cake". BRILLIANT BAND!

[tonyhic]

i'm ashamed to say that i thought this song was very silly at the time. a few years later, i realised i loved it.

[Tarrant1976]

Brilliant! I still play Housebreaking to this very day. LOVED this band and saw them as often as I could in the 80s. Wonderful memories!

[roxy726726]

Oh wow! I was a serious BCO fan and so fun to finally hear some Serious Young Insects when I used to hear/read so much about them. Look at that unmistakeable Peter Farnan hop. I love it! So cool to see this. Thanks for posting!!

[davecing]

Oh...I meant to say Melbourne band orignally 5 cut to three as you see in this clip..the lads sounding abit XTC'ish

David

[nzoz1982]

And looking a little like the Jam!!!

[HeadlandRoad]

@nzoz1982 with the huge advantage of not having Paul Weller's ego to deal with

[nzoz1982]

@HeadlandRoad

Oh yeah, I'm pretty sure they missed Weller's radar!

[davecing]

Hi Im an older guy here Im 42..I was 18 at the time this was released..had the single and yep still like it to this day

David

[firebird63]

an instant concept by the unstoppable Lofven/Worrall crew....we'd prerared a different song and got told about this 2 days before the shoot! we went out and hired a bunch of theatre props and pirated a book of wierd paintings for the backgrounds..nice to see it again

[nzoz1982]

Cool... thanx for the extra info!

[Hideo007]

I was a massive fan of Serious Young Insects ...Crystal Ballroom days. Anyone have any other SYI video? ...anything? Thanks heaps for this clip nzoz1982 - I've spent the last hour going through your collection, awesome stuff.

[nzoz1982]

ha ha, thanx... i hope you checked out my other nzoz years (1974 to 1983).

[Hideo007]

No I didn't! ...I will definitely be doing that when I get back from dinner! Cheers.

[nzoz1982]

Cool!

[Hideo007]

OMFG nzoz, your collection is absolutely amazing! Thanks very much for the time you have spent to share this with us all. Awesome.

[nzoz1982]

ha ha, no worries... glad you're enjoying it!

[Nouveauxromo]

are yu serious, I typed this song in and it is actually here! I have this on Countdown but never saw the clip. I must watch it now. Amazing song, soooo good

[nzoz1982]

Yes, I do have a lot of obscurities in my collection. I'll be making an NZOZappendix account for the clips that didn't quite make it on these accounts.
