@Thebirdienumnum I have been OBSESSED with the Titanic thing. The one thing that really sticks with me out of everything I've read is when they said the ship got pretty verticle and the NOISE of the tons of crockery and cutlery breaking and crashing. You can easily imagine that. That is when you KNOW it's serious.
As a thirteen year old I loved the beat and found the portent and doom quite scary. A wonderful song. WTF is with the hate comments below me???? Scary. Can't they all go cage fighting or something? Where would Aussie music be without Vanda and Young? I visited their office and studios (well, the foyer) in King St in Sydney once in 83 when I first started work there. It was like walking into The Vatican except MUCH smaller and without the pretension and treasures. Just LOTS of gold records.
@PeterHBne1 i can tell you exactly where aussie music would be without vanda and young, in the trash. i was only 6 when this came out i discovered it in the 90's when i raided my older brothers record collection. only found out recently that this was vanda and young had heard of them from the easybeats but didn't know this was them. great stuff though.
Maybe W Bush should have claimed the Twin Towers hit an Iceberg...
I-Guess it's possible 911 in New York was an argument between the evil Jews appearing to oppose Lucifer as an angel of light & the angelic Jews supporting him as Satan & both combined are Ancient Wisdom & thus it was an Iceberg full of thermite in Osama Bin-Vanstone's arse in a cave that brought the Twin Towers down because heaven forbid the same type of lies are used both for a cover story & for plausable deniability...
@Espie1979 It isn't a bad song... you have got that really wrong... the arrangement is good... the vocals is an early example of white rap and the 'rapper' is no other than Angus and Malcolm Young's big brother George... AC/DC!
You've seen how easily Zionist Illuminati used THEIR media to spin post 911 over everything well the Titanic was the same so before you high-born high bred Sons & Daughters of Solomon (Illuminati) gp to meet & greet with the god of this world you should know not everyone believes in you anymore & not everyone follows you for money (Many do) but many who will never give up wait in the darkness outside of Lucifer's light & they'll get you murderous genocidal creeps & tear your Grand Lodge apart...

Captain Smith is being attacked rather a lot here. How much was he really to blame for the Titanic hitting that berg and sinking; as I understand it (from documentaries which I've seen on and off over the years) he tried his best to avoid it. Also apparently the fog made it hard to see waves breaking on the bergs, so they couldn't be spotted early.
are you aware that this is the older brother of angus young! did you know that the foo fighters last 3 albums were written about what i have discovered? dont believe me? i have proof. read my 2 comments below to find out why. i am not lying. honest. regards from the forth inlet tasmania.
i came up with a theory that involves the book of genesis (fig leaves) buddha (sitting under the bodhi fig tree) jesus (many sayings aobut figs) ross horne's book (new health revolution) and science (figs are the most important source of food fro fruit eating rainforest animals). i then expereimented on the figs by eating mainly dried figs(same brand) for over 6 years now and found cycles which i related to the numbers in psgs 11/12 of the book of revelations. this theory has gone everywhere.
so far i have had eliminations at days 504, 840, 1176, 1512, 1848, 2184, and expect my 7th at day 2520. today is day 2345. i have definitely found something. i am not lying. what i have discovered has gone around the world and many songs have been written about it......the foo fighters last 3 albums...."vertigo" by U2 (my first name is phil)....coldplay's last 2 albums. an elimination is a day when you experience strong flu-like symptoms and feel terrible. bad stuff is washed out of your body.
I LOVE THIS SONG!.......want to know some juicy gossip about this band that they dare not print in the magazines.....go to "eleanor rigby nzoz1971" and read my 3 comments. regards.
@MrCriticOfAll for some odd reason I make mistakes like that now and then it's like my brian is saying one thing and my fingers want to do something else.
@MrCriticOfAll OK it took me quite a bit to work out why i wrote that i didnt mean to offened you as i was only trying to funny sorry i mustve taken 2 pain killers.
Yes, there were music videos before MTV -- and they were pretty bad then, too! ;) Love the song though, and "Man in the Middle" is a close second for my favorite from this album after this one.
At 3:08 the First Officer looks like he wants to "make a lady" of the Captain. But where oh where are the white carnations? Without those they are never gonna fall in love again.
(Prologue: The First Officer did survive the disaster. Not long after became a young Doctor. And several years after that, he hassled the Hoff.)
You'd never pick that George is Angus's cousin or something would you ?? Not a big fan of acca but HUGE respect. Smart moves=Good vibes= Sales. Long live the Lads.Formulatic pub rock which has endured the test of time . THAT'S THE TEST!!!! These dudes are now up there with the Stones and Aerosmith as enduring bands
this song is a gem. The combination of piano, violin, throw in a horn, and music and lyrics by Vanda and Young, and the end result is a timeless classic.
just heard this song because I read a guy saying that Radiohead borrowed some of its elements to one of their tunes, "The trickster", which I do love.
sounds a little similar, but it's far from being a rip-off. besides, I liked this song.
They were a great band ! What the fuck is wrong with people ??? They cry like babies when sick , pedophile dies but lose interest in a great band. Maggots.
True Classic. Love the song and love the clip. The Captain is a star, and I wish I had the big bawdy wench's phone number that he was dancing with!! ROF
As a matter of interest, Radio Netherlands did an interview with Harry Vanda some four years ago, at his Flashpoint Studios, recalling his early days in Australia. This can be seen and heard online.
See: Anonymous émigré became pop star. Radio Netherlands Worldwide.
@TheGroovyRecordStore You might like to buy a copy of "Vanda and Young: Inside Australia's Hit Factory" written by John Tait, and published by the University of N.S.W. press.
@nzoz1978 Derpderp, I recommend reading it a little better.
@BadGirlOfAutism is suggesting the writers of "Holding Out for Crappy Bollocks" listened to this track, as say, a muse for writing that song, not the other way around, which you've presumed it to read.
Miles Morgan Travel (UK) are currently taking bookings for the 100th Anniversary Titanic Memorial Cruise, leaving Southampton on the 8th of April 2012, and will follow the RMS Titanic's orginal itinerary, arriving at the Titanic site April 14/15 where a memorial service will be held, before continuing on to Halifax, Nova Scotia, then New York.
Presumably if they hit an iceberg, as did the original Titanic, there will be no extra charge.
Awesome Band and they don't make them like this anymore!
Best time in anyones life was to be alive in the 80's and dancing the night away to awesome music like this in the clubs. Kids today don't know what they missed out on!
"This is a song on pirates", said an announcer of Radio Australia in a programme for Japanese listeners in short wave, over thirty years ago. One or two years later, I bought a copy of their monumental LP and came to know that this song tells about the wreck of the Titanic. "But.....where are the pirates?" The question had remained unanswered for thirty years. And finally...I have just found the pirates here!! Thank you very much for the post. This is one of my best 5 songs in English.
Should we think nowadays about the climate on Earth and the smelting ice on the North Pole? And nowadays, it is not a ship ;-))) What a great video from Flash and the Pan!!! Always have liked the music, but clips as these are incredible!
What a Winner!!! Thanks to all concerned But, it's terrible! I cannot think of, not Harry Van Der's "name",but the other fellow's name- I've got a mental blank -he's "AC/DC's" Lead Guitarist's, Angus Young's brother( I think....) & looks a bit like, you know,.........Help!!
Harry Vanda and George Young. One Dutch Australian, the other Scottish Australia. Both in 60s band The Easybeats before this sort of thing and production.
I thought Donnie's brother died at age 14, which inspired Donnie to take up horse racing (his brother being a horse racer).... I know Donnie (not bragging), I'll ask him if he has another bro...
hi nzoz, why did you remove "welcome to the universe" from YouTube, I've just put it among my favorites, such a great vid or maybe it wasn't you? lol from Poland
Thanks, I've just found it :). Bought two records "Ayla - the best of F&the P and Flash & the Pan, now I can listen to my beloved "Atlantis Calling" and many other brilliant tracks. lol
I will add, I have such a soft spot for what Vanda and Young and Ian "Molly" Meldrum et al did for music both Australian and overseas in the 70s, via Countdown, Sounds Unlimited etc and the profound influence it all had on me. Here I was in isolated Western Australia (I live in Fremantle where Bon Scott grew up and is buried), where so much genius is born... and then leaves for bigger things i/s and o/s. Yesterday Bon Scott, today Tim Minchen and Eskimo Joe...
Lucky you! My best friend's mother has known Harry Vanda for about 40 odd years. Nice to know that rock legends can still maintain normality in our local areas.
Never saw this before.Just remembered it from when I was a kid in the 70's on an LP record called Midnight Hustle.On the album it was called And the Band Played On. I never bothered reading the write up here, but was amazed how the lead guy reminded me of Angus Young. I couldn't believe it when I finished watching the video and read the comments. AC/DC are my favourite band !! No wonder he reminded me of Angus !!
Now I understand the idea of the song.You don't when you're 8 years old.
No, I know it's not Angus ! That's not what I was getting at.He just reminded me so much of him.And me being such an AC/DC fan immediately saw that similairity between the two.The reason for the similairity became clear once I read the comments- because it is his brother.
Watch the clip `Hey St Peter` half way thru it George partly dresses like Angus with an AC/DC shirt on.... looks heaps like him in the early days. Im a HUGE AC/DC fan also : )
Flash and The Pan = george Vander & Harry Young... Both EX EASYBEATS and Harry Young IS the ELDEST of the YOUNG Brothers with ACDC.... And wrote most of Australias early songs
fucking awesome.

"This is a song on pirates", said an announcer of Radio Australia in a programme for Japanese listeners in short wave, over thirty years ago. One or two years later, I bought a copy of their monumental LP and came to know that this song tells about the wreck of the Titanic. "But.....where are the pirates?" The question had remained unanswered for thirty years. And finally...I have just found the pirates here!! Thank you very much for the post. This is one of my best 5 songs in English.

Should we think nowadays about the climate on Earth and the smelting ice on the North Pole? And nowadays, it is not a ship ;-))) What a great video from Flash and the Pan!!! Always have liked the music, but clips as these are incredible!

hi nzoz, why did you remove "welcome to the universe" from YouTube, I've just put it among my favorites, such a great vid or maybe it wasn't you? lol from Poland
jadzia7911 2 years ago
It's still up there... the one you added was a version i was not happy with... go back to nzoz1980 and you'll see the video is still there...
nzoz1978 2 years ago
Thanks, I've just found it :). Bought two records "Ayla - the best of F&the P and Flash & the Pan, now I can listen to my beloved "Atlantis Calling" and many other brilliant tracks. lol

Could you ask Donnie why he chose "Love's Theme" by Barry White as the theme for his show "Sound Unlimited"? Cheers!

I will add, I have such a soft spot for what Vanda and Young and Ian "Molly" Meldrum et al did for music both Australian and overseas in the 70s, via Countdown, Sounds Unlimited etc and the profound influence it all had on me. Here I was in isolated Western Australia (I live in Fremantle where Bon Scott grew up and is buried), where so much genius is born... and then leaves for bigger things i/s and o/s. Yesterday Bon Scott, today Tim Minchen and Eskimo Joe...

Lucky you! My best friend's mother has known Harry Vanda for about 40 odd years. Nice to know that rock legends can still maintain normality in our local areas.

Never saw this before.Just remembered it from when I was a kid in the 70's on an LP record called Midnight Hustle.On the album it was called And the Band Played On. I never bothered reading the write up here, but was amazed how the lead guy reminded me of Angus Young. I couldn't believe it when I finished watching the video and read the comments. AC/DC are my favourite band !! No wonder he reminded me of Angus !!
Now I understand the idea of the song.You don't when you're 8 years old.

A great group with many unique lyrics and a very different approach to make muzic/songs..
Have anyone seen them live?
I've seen these videos, but I don't think they've ever performed live???
MazterGuitarz 2 years ago
No not Angus, but George Young his older brother, who played rhythm guitar in the Easybeats! The tall blond guy is Harry Vanda!
scottygirlify 2 years ago
No, I know it's not Angus ! That's not what I was getting at.He just reminded me so much of him.And me being such an AC/DC fan immediately saw that similairity between the two.The reason for the similairity became clear once I read the comments- because it is his brother.

I'm sorry, I guess I misunderstood what you meant. They do look a lot alike!

Watch the clip `Hey St Peter` half way thru it George partly dresses like Angus with an AC/DC shirt on.... looks heaps like him in the early days. Im a HUGE AC/DC fan also : )
