Go Dave! I had a band PG and the Hot Tips, was producing Shazam! on TVNZ too, both us and them had singles with CBS in NZ in 1982. Ours was 'Hot Guitars', an instrumental medley .... Dave's sold heaps, number one for ten weeks i think on Ready2Roll... I think we sold a few too... great days!
Good God! I'd forgotten about this one! I was just a kid when it came out. It's not high art, but it's well crafted and a good laugh. Enjoyed listening to it again. Thanks for posting it.
LOL i still rememeber the vid. i was working on Wellington building sites when this was on, rememebr it driving into Welly City it was always on radio
As for the song itself (as you've mentioned it hit NZ No1 in 1983 - due in part to its airplay in NZ at a time that nearly no NZ music was being played on NZ radio!) lets just say that the NZ music critics and magazines (notably "Rip it up" rated this as amongst the worst NZ songs ever to make it big!
The "Dave" in this band was Dave Luther, a singer/songwriter who originally led 'Hogsnort Rupert', a NZ rock group of the late 60s-early 70s.
