Awesome track, and one of my all-time favourites from Citizen Band. This song preceded their 1979 release of the 'Just Drove Through Town' album by about 3 or 4 months, coming out towards the end of 1978.
I loved this band way back when I was in form 1 in Papakura, and had their album 'Just drove through town' if I recall the title? Regret that I gave it away. Also really liked their song 'Julia'. Classic stuff!!!
Rob Muldoon borrowed so much money for the "think big projects" that mad dog Douglas had to sell everything off ten years later to stop NZ becoming a third World country.

Don't Give Me Culture was sung by The Knobz. It was their reaction to Rob Muldoon's criticism of the band Mi-Sex as not being 'culture' regarding music, as well as raising sales tax and import duties. I've got the album "Sudden Exposure" it's great 80's kiwi music!!!

I LOVE this song!! Had the CD but it got stolen in a major home invasion - which really f****d me off!! This is a wicked song, an all time Kiwi fav. There was some real wicked NZ sounds in those days. Thanks for the post.
I'm an American who's just learning about this group: Did they ever hit the charts with anything? Was this a hit single down under? Good song, good video, by the way-much thanks for posting!
Hi nosleep. Good on ya for asking. Citizen Band were pretty big here in NZ. Yes, this was a single. Other songs that were hits were Good Morning Citizens and Julia. The Chunn brothers were fairly central NZ music figures.
Thanks for posting. Great song. I remember seeing Citizen Band open for Cheap Trick at Auckland Town hall around 1978/79. My first real rock concert. Chur!
@zenboy64 OMG! I was there too - my first real rock concert too. It has all come flooding back. I think my ears are still ringing from that concert...loved it! Good times!
Well, I confess that Geoff in the "days" could certainly have easily convinced me to have gotten my feet a bit "muddy"...and the REST of me too,lol! BOTH brothers were absolute eye and ear candy! I was VERY dismayed when they dropped from Split Enz;IMHO the band never had another bass player as fine as Mike was...no offence to Nigel. But then again if they had STAYED we wouldn't have had THIS band to enjoy either.
Watching this makes me remember how well Mike Chunn played off his fellow bandmates onstage, especially whoever is singing lead. I used to LOVE watching Mike play off Tim Finn onstage:he actually ENHANCED Tim's performances, something I confess I never saw Neil Finn do even half as well as Mike did. Watch the Split Enz B&W live tv performance of "No Bother To Me" for a great example of this. Mike Chunn was a TERRIFIC showman!
I like to feel sexy....knowing someone is watching me ..wanting me...turns me on!BADLY!

This the best music period in NZ short history,every pub had a band in Auckland and once it shut it was on to mainstreet in Queen st for more great kiwi or ozzy bands awesum memories,cheers for the clip.
Thats right they were from Auckland.Great band Brent ended up drumming for the angels in Australia. PS does any one remember Golden Harvest. I went to school with the lead singers sister. Im Tattooing in Austalia now.
@TattooedScum Yea,I remember GH. I bought the 45 single when "I need your love" came out - I've still got it, they were wicked.
