This is one of the best Australian song ever. What fuck stick would dislike it? Anonymous shits that whinge about everything...now pass me a VB and turn it up.
This song has not aged.... it still invokes the same feelings for me at age 40 as it did when it was first released...in 86 when I was 15!!!! Love it!
I stumbled onto this band on wikipedia and when it started I was like "oh, more cheesy britpop..." and was about to click away but something about it locked me and compelled me to listen to me, it just kind of grows and becomes like this fusion of britpop and REM... this is great...
The live version is better. It isn't so 1,2,3,4 and again with the rythm. Hearing it live is like blood moving through a heart, warm with beats at the right times, not to a clock.
Google Mark Seymour live (the lead singer of H&C) get a bottle of good red, some tissues and listen to this song.
This was played at my Grandads funeral a few weeks ago now. R.I.P Norman (Grandad). im think im going to cry now. all the things that ive done with him. all those toys that he gave me and i loved and still do. R.I.P
See this iconic aussie band for the last time,,,or first time,,, realigning again in Sydney on Dec 04-11 at the V8 Supercars final...... Man,,,, I'm SO happy !!!! Life generally sucks balls,, then stuff like this pops up !!!!! WooHooooo !!!!!!!!!!!!!!
There are two deserts in Africa bigger than the largest in Australia... I'm not entirely convinced about the snow either, I suspect it's snow covered area rather than volume.
i am going to give this phenomenon a name becuase it hasn't got one and i am sure everyone suffers from it. it will be called "whiteley's syndrome". if footscray were in the grand final today i would be barracking for the other team even if it was collingwood or port adelaide just because juliar barracks for footscray. ever worked with someone you hated but previously you liked their name but now couldnt bear calling one of your children it......this is "whiteley's syndrome".

@hannotn Hey, he's not looking too shabby now! :) There's a recent picture on the Net of him and his brother (Nick, from Crowded House) together and I honestly didn't realize it was new at first.
@Robertcotton Thanks for the kind comment. This county is so badly governed but when I feel that I walk to the beach and realise how lucky 20 million people are to have a country that has the best beaches on the planet, more snow then Switzerland, a lager desert then Africa but a better salary then the USA. It's the small things that slow you down but focus on the big ones, no mater what anyone says!
@gnarkillkicksass . Thanks for those comments about Australia. You just made me think what the f**kam I living in the UK for. Its been 12 years now but your words have given me the motivation to book a one way ticket home....Oh and the song is great also, one of the all time greats..
@ashone0one UK is good, I lived in Leeds for a while. Not the best place but I loved getting out of town, enjoying the history, countryside and very good people!
This is still one of the better gigs I went to for a University Orientation ( Otago - 1984 ish) - despite the Speights beer being served in milkshake wax cups, and the great puddles of it on the dance floor!!
My fave song of all time... i like to think it means different things to different people .. but to me it's about a bloody good one-night stand or a 'friend with benefits'.. Either way, it's a beautiful song.
will always remind me of Shane's death in Home and Away. The most beautiful death and marriage song of all time, even though that sounds weird in the same sentence!!!
I've found that most of Hunters songs have suffered from being way too over-produced on the studio recordings. As a result of this they always sound about 5 times more vibrant than on the record.
And I'll shout it to the blue summer sky And we may never meet again So shed your skin and let's get started And you will throw your arms around me Yeah, you will throw your arms around me I dreamed of you at nighttime And I watched you in your sleep I met you in high places I touched your head and touched your feet So if you disappear out of view You know I will never say goodbye And though I try to forget it You will make me call your name MY BABY NANA......
TO MY SWEET ANGEL NANA....... I LOVE YOU I will come for you at nighttime I will raise you from your sleep I will kiss you in four places As I go running along your street I will squeeze the life out of you You will make me laugh and make me cry And we will never forget it You will make me call your name And I'll shout it to the blue summer sky And we may never meet again So shed your skin and let's get started And you will throw your arms around me
this was played at my sisters funeral last week with a nice slide show of photos to the music. i'll never forget this song now. R.I.P. lizzie and i really hope we do meet again.

godawful song.
i fucking hate this song so much.
hunters and collectors started out as one of the most innovative bands you could ever find with songs like 'talking to a stranger' (friend of mine played the oxy tank on it then went to be a rigger on mad max 3).
then they had 'jaws of life'. insanely brilliant.
then marketing dickheads got to them and they ended up sounding so fucking generic it was a tragedy.
@Pook365 Uh you are crazy if you think DAAS were better than the Hunters. They are the best live band Australia has ever produced ever. Seymour was pretty lousy in his solo efforts but this song is up there with the greatest rock anthems of all time. Every track on Human frailty is a work of pure genius.
@Pook365 I never said anyone was rubbish. I simply stated - because it is true - H&C are the best live Australian band of all time. ACDC haven't been Australian for over twenty years. I'll grant you INXS wrote some good songs but their live performances were nothing to write home about. Ice were great too. I wouldn't pay money to see Savage garden or Powderfinger. I think they are boring.
Where did the time go? I'm standing in the Espy or the like... Mark is doing his Jesus pose to this... I shared a beer or two with the guys back in the '80's... must be getting old.
i just remember that dude dead on that big rock with his missus bawling her eyes out...that was the shittest episode of homos and gays i ever seen....lol
wow, i never thought i'd see the day where i actually admitted to liking a different version of this song. Mark Seymour wrote it, yes? but who performed it first? i'm not comparing this to Neil Finn's (CH's) version because they are very different. but this is awesome!! that being said, i guess i still prefer the harmonies of CH. but as i said, they are both different. thanks for posting this, chepickle! :-)
Saw Hunters play live in Perth in the late 90's. Without a doubt one of the best "live" bands ever. Mark Seymour could barely talk at the end from the effort he put into the singing. A truly fantastic concert.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
THESE FUKKIN GAY ASSHOLES JUST DMCA'D ME. fukkin song is all over youtube.... i'll make sure and torrent all their shit right now so i never have to buy anything they ever make again.
I prefer this version to that which seems to get played on the radio all the time these days (which I do not believe is live either - just another studio version).
@Neilidity From my recollection, the original single was mastered from a 4 track cassette recording but none of the radio stations except 2JJJ would play it for the reason that it wasn't hi-fidelity enough for FM radio. For me the original recording has far better lyrics than any subsequent recordings of this song.
When I worked radio station at Purdue WXLAY 106.9 Lay radio(free music and cd's) we recieved original ep on vinyle. which i still have to this day. we played at my wedding (yes cheesy) but my wifey loved it.
No offense to H+C or anything, but this song sounds a hell of a lot bette rodne live. There's something about the studio version that make sit sound too overproduced IMO.
You have no idea how jealous Neil Finn is of this song. I think Crowded House have sung this song live more than Mark Seymour has!
this song always reminds me of my pet cow. God I miss her and all the sweet cuddles we had. i never had a cow thats been able to take my constant affections since. R.I.P. daisy
H&C recorded a version in 1984 as a non-album single... then again for the Human Frailty album in 1986 - then a third version in 1990 for their "Collected Works" compilation.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
He's right you guys are wankers and the Saints have got as much chance as me and Jen Hawkins. Bombers top 6 and pushin next year come get some fockers. Also Crows can officially embrace the 'Finals Chokers' tag. Bless 'em.
I was asking about the video location, not the version of the song, as it looks like it might be the interior of The Venue (sadly now torn down). This isn't necessarily their "original pub version", but the studio version from their 1986 album 'Human Frailty'. Performing live, their pub versions varied greatly - all excellent!
I presume the "eventual release" you're referring to is the slow acoustic version relsaed on their 'Collected Works' album in 1990. There was also a live version on their earlier 1985 album 'The Way To Go Out'.

you always left h&c gigs buggered from the singing and bourbons...it was like being in a choir when these guys played. Good times.

Sorry, but these guys are great.
If you ever had seen them live you would likely have a different opinion.
Be nice.
Your mother raised you for better.

this song rocks, what year was this mad in?

Wikipedia says it was recorded in October 1984. Presumably it calmed down after that.

H&C recorded a version in 1984 as a non-album single... then again for the Human Frailty album in 1986 - then a third version in 1990 for their "Collected Works" compilation.

He's right you guys are wankers and the Saints have got as much chance as me and Jen Hawkins. Bombers top 6 and pushin next year come get some fockers. Also Crows can officially embrace the 'Finals Chokers' tag. Bless 'em.

Great song - this video looks like it might have been shot inside The Venue in St. Kilda. Any idea if that's right?

This is the original pub version.Faster than the eventual relaease.Great shit at 1130 at night with a good toke of hash!

I was asking about the video location, not the version of the song, as it looks like it might be the interior of The Venue (sadly now torn down). This isn't necessarily their "original pub version", but the studio version from their 1986 album 'Human Frailty'. Performing live, their pub versions varied greatly - all excellent!

I presume the "eventual release" you're referring to is the slow acoustic version relsaed on their 'Collected Works' album in 1990. There was also a live version on their earlier 1985 album 'The Way To Go Out'.
