  • Jay Z is got nothing on this illuminati guy

  • Thanks for downloading this song, bringing back the memory of my teens and one of the best times of my life. Several years later I found out that Shane's Mum, a nice friendly lady was a barmaid at my local.

  • Hello, wanna be friends ?

    Send me a pm and i'll help you with stuff like uploading, promoting your video, getting more viewers etc..

    Hit me back !

  • Great singer from a great era! Amazing how many pathetic things come here to bad mouth talent! ENVY whats it like to be full of it??? You KNOW who you are!

  • Unfinished sentences is a mate of terrence how little talent. I cannot stand these gutless no face talentless retards that have one claim to fame.excrement comes out of both ends!!!

  • this is the ONLY Paul is dead song EVER Published by the same beatles record label, and it WAS a paul is dead song......

  • Paul is dead

  • @zephiloyd only one thing can prove it are dental records, blah saw some pics and the freckles are in the same place

  • I played in a proto-punk band with Shane in London, 1977-early 1978. The band was called KillaHz...

  • Fabulous song, fabulous talent.

    Kudos Shane.

  • Nah, he was a "baxter!"

  • @ FinishedSentences . . . Shane Hales does NOT have a drug habit, has NEVER been a bum or driven around in an old car. He does, however, have asucessful business as a tiler. One of four ain't bad.

  • Roger that, I played guitar for him just recently at a very big show and got to know him a bit and can quite categorically state that FinishedSentences is talking toal shit.

  • I really can't think of a Kiwi song I like more than this. Many thanks for posting, and thankyou, Shane!

  • sweet as

  • NEWSFLASH !!! "Shane" had a "mancrush !"

  • Really nice version of this song! Thanks, I had never heard it before.

  • PID

  • The best version of this song is me and shane singing it at 3am in the morning at the Onehunga Workingmans Club .......

  • This song was apparently written and performed first by and American Terry Knight (as someone kindly pointed out to me).

    Though with Shane singing it was huge hit and topped the charts here in New Zealand.

    It was inspired by the (thankfully) incorrect rumours of Paul McCartney's death.

  • Im a Beatles nut but Id NEVER heard this before

    sounds kinda like john denver (and the lyrics quote a john song "let me take you down" not paul!) and the horn part sounds like Johns "Hey Jude"

    "I read the news today oh boy-" thats john too- no?

    3.03 then he sings "lucy in the sky with diamonds" again- john!

  • Paul wrote Hey Jude.

  • @geofbrit59 This isn't Hey Jude, It's Saint Paul, there is a difference

  • where is he and what is he doing today?

  • Apprarently he sings a few songs here and there in Auckland and lays tiles to support his drug habit. Drives round in an old car a bit of a bum according to a builder who I was just talking to about him. A very interesting so this one, though!

  • i don't understand Niagaran. You were not even born when this came out. Maybe it takes you back to your pre birth days .

  • I never expected to ever hear this song again and so clear as well...thanks so much!

    Takes me back to my preteen days in NZ with this once favourite song

    Now if I can find John Hanlon's Dam the dam or Space Waltz's Out in the street :)

  • @niagaran You don't have far to travel. Search YouTube for "John Hanlon - Damn The Dam"

  • I was only 9 when the song came out, really left an impression that holds true even today many years on. What a great music era, Scott Mckenzie etc.

  • SHANE WAS RESIDENTS AT AUCKLANDS TOP NIGHT CLUB IN THE 1960,s THE GALAXIE IN CUSTOM ST WEST MAIN BANDS THAT PLAYED THERE WAS THE LA DE DAS .HUMAN INSTINCT .LEO DE CASTRO. UNDERDOGS...AS FOR SHANE WELL WASN,T MY CUP OF TEA IN THAT ERA ...THATS LIFE.

  • I was 11 when I first heard it, still play it today...now if I can get cool iris to play it...I'll be happy...I like "Come Dance Around the World" too.

  • This sure takes me back . I was 11 when this came out. I always looked forward to the Golden disc awards. This was a great time for kiwi music, up until the mid 70's. I loved songs like 'thanks to you' and ' come dance all around the world'

  • Thanks so much for posting, this transports me back to the pop scene in NZ in the 60's, this won the Loxene Golden Award in 1969 for Shane Hale, it out when there were rumours Paul McCartney had died love "Natural Man' too

  • awesome song, Shane is one of my favourites.

  • Thanks for posting this one. Have you got Ray Columbus singing "Happy In A Sad Kind Of Way"?
