Midnight Oil - Power And The Passion

[KDolphins12]

Isn't it funny how what hes wearing at the start of the video is now what us young ones are all wearing. Its a vicious cycle.

[dewaynecullen]

I got it! He's one of those Blue Men fuckers!!

[FalloutCOGDude]

I remember when he came to our school for a visit. One bloke in my drama class got upon the stage and started dancing like him. Hilarious XD

[1234liamclarkson]

Irregular People Movement

(Yes We Canberra fans will get this.)

[lynda19712007]

peter one of a kind dancer great aussie band

[alexpas1974]

Ver bailar a este tipo, y ver "el amanecer de los muertos" es lo mismo.

[FRANK101101101]

top clip, top song, not from 97 however, touch earlier i be thinkin

[fardaypu]

@FRANK101101101 this song from 10987654321 album 1982, :) cheers mate

[driftwoodvevo]

i think Mick Jagger can learn some moves from Peter Garret :P

[ardvark181]

has peter garret aged at all?

[SediluWarrior]

The reason Peter Garret is "hot" is because he pays attention to reality and uses his brain, instead of wasting his time worrying if he's "masculine" enough for a bunch of insecure little boys who are obsessed with acting like all the other monkeys.

[mnpd007]

Moves? I always thought that if Frankenstein learned how to dance... it would look like that.

[ball3rinabab3]

Happy Australia Day, now let's all bust a move like Peter Garrett ;D

[TheHappydazz]

@ball3rinabab3 I walk to work everyday like Peter Garrett.

[meleastravels]

happy australia day. get ur midnight oil on!

[ravenlordnz]

FUCK KFC!!!!!!!!!!!

[zarathane]

I really wish he actually walks like that. Imagine him walking into the Senate like that XD

[lawandatylr]

Tell me, why does he look like Voldemort?...LOL

[cp1mx]

Le dio una chiripiolca... juar juar

[thegiverofbreath]

I don’t want moves like Jagger. I want moves like Bowie, but I only have moves like Garrett.

[Dragovichful]

The lead singer dances like a zombie with Epilepsy

[vars666]

@Dragovichful POSSESED BY IAN CURTIS MAYBE?



[Dragovichful]

@vars666 might be :)

[URturn2njoy]

probably their best song. Love the drum solo @ 2:25 in the song. Very passionate. I agree with some of the comparisons on dance move with Peter Garrett and Ian Curtis from Joy Division (RIP) - robotic and seizure-like. Haven't heard this one for a very long time and still sounds fresh today. Bought the 45 rpm/7-inch record when it came out.

[kinkyreggae93]

its like funky voldemort.

[lando30001]

peter garret was ian curtis's secret apprentice.

[MickyRT17]

Maroon 5's next song should be "Moves Like Garret"

[maskeddebator1]

I never saw the Observers on Fringe dance like this... I feel this needs to be rectified.

[rminister1971]

This video was filmed in Sydney (near the Domain) I remember driving on the road that's next to that park with all the anti-capitalist propaganda. I just wish I was in the area that night when they filmed this clip.

[66feebee]

dont know about you guys..dances a bit like jerry lewis...lol..

[Vinniejster]

That awkward moment where you don't know if Garrett is dancing or having a seizure

[allysha1990]

peter garret pushed our car to the servo when it ran out of fuel lol

[Mrkyle2529]

i used to dance like that. then i took an arrow in the knee

[cobboGHS91]

3 people dont like how garret dances

[Haley2465]

This made my day.

[n4wgt]

Sometimes you've got to take the harder line. And evidently, sometimes you have to sell out and become part of the establishment.

[trb102209]

DAMN I CAINT QUIT LAUGHING

[StreetBoyWill]

Forget Michael Jackson, Peter Garret has the dance moves people should copy, and get paid for!

[DepletedUranium1]

Man, I'd give anything to see these guys live.

[StreetBoyWill]

@DepletedUranium1 I almost got the chance back at Sound Relief, but my sister, being around 10 at the time, felt uncomfortable, so I never got to go. Now, at 17, I still haven't been to a good concert, and I would give everything I have, even my own sanity, just to have seen them live.

[DaQueenBionca]

LOL best dance moves ever!!!! BAHAHAHA!!!! :D

[Epicfailnonsence]

wow he dances like a crackhead

[CrazyCessnaPilot]

goddamit VEVO...

[Hunkyfish20]

I rkn as a prank, everytime Peter garret displays a video of his works as minister that someone puts this in just to annoy him XD. i'd laugh my head off.

[Steinbacker4001]

Tom Horn - No - Peter Garret - heyyyyy - Voldemort has mad danceabolical spells...

[chorister20002000]

what would people think if they heard this at 'occupy melbourne'

[Lovz2killz]

@chorister20002000 Those people are just No lifers w/ no job or no money...

[Munchy468]

someone give him an instrument or something to get him to stop moving like that... =P

[mlawren7]

I've got the moves like Garret, got the moves like Garret...

[bhyat1]

4:10 for the awesome horn section

[1BlastTyrant]

peter garrets moves get the bitches wet

[dewaynecullen]

@1BlastTyrant garrets' peter gets the bitches wet !

[MrBogmanify]

If Peter Garret could be a politician like he dances he might actually be an influance.

[JustinFromSydney]

Garret was tough 'till he hit the rough; Uncle Rudd and Murdoch were quite enough.

[bhyat1]

I think there is a problem with youtube its only showing my views

[cjhrjone54]

At least he's having fun.......

[mrsolofeo]

Peter Garrett sort of looks like that dude in The Hills Have Eyes.

[mrsolofeo]

When I first saw this video, Peter Garrett actually frightened me.

I thought--what loony bin did they get him from?

[xXJayW96Xx]

Matty Primus, wouldn't want his job for any price

Ohhhhhh ohh the Powers lost their passion

Thumbs up for Sam Newman's version.

[BundyUnder12Boys]

That spazzing dude is now a federal politician!

[ShroudedInVeilz]

[porterhouse101]

also to think that the lead singer spaz is a federal government minister now.............

[porterhouse101]

sam newmans send is so good hahha

[2mixy]

ehh this video send a shiver up my spine

[kaarankin69]

hahaha this song makes me laugh but its the best haha!!

[dogluver2398]

The only awesome bald lead singer is Michael Stipe. :P

Sorry, guys.

[MrMatt2122]

whooo oooo the powers lost their passion on them other teams dine whooo ooo its Fitzroy their rehashing their faiding quicker than warnies waist line 

[chorister20002000]

your career in politics is washed up but you can always go back to singing.

[siomos123]

SAMMI NEWMAN!!

[Carnage2K4]

I see a fking mullet...KILL IT WITH FIRE

[greatmuta1]

J.R. Ewing @3:31

[Extraterrestrialz]

Best Wonderful Lovely !!!

[zamycast]

its so fucking catchy

[nextel99]

midnight oil and inxs the greatest rock bands that ever came from down under

[TheYTmagic]

@nextel99 uhh, kinda leaving out two crucial ones. ever heard of ac/dc or cold chiesel?

[mother1710]

@nextel99 that is until MH died and PG went poly....lol

[leunaticable]

@nextel99 they are two of many great bands

[Tranquilbez22]

I got them moves ilke Garrett!

[MsDizzyBunny]

I love Midnight Oil.

Everything about them.... Except the way Peter Garret dances lol. He dances so freaking wierd, it's all jerking motions and such.

[daaskapital1]

@MsDizzyBunny hey, don't go mocking lol

[yamumsbum007]

1:13 epic turn into camera and groovy dance back out of frame LMAO

[carlosjames64]

i have a teacher that looks exactly like peter garret

[Crosleyq]

Still so damned relevant, man we voted you in to change this country Peter, not to continue the same crap. No sympathy, I expected better you sellout.

[zamycast]

@Crosleyq fucken-ay and that carbon tax wats the point its a theiroe dosnt mean its been proven yet i reckon its just the bloody corparations

[TheManThatLovesAss]

While Peter Steps Up To Talk In Parliment House Without Him Knowing They Should Blast This Song *_*

[peterrabbity]

Rob Hirst was HOT.

[peterrabbity]

Now I'm on the way to the UK to live I need all the great music that Australian and NZ bands produced to take with me. No way am I going to live on the other side of the world without Split Enz, Midnight Oil, Cold Chisel,...

[peterrabbity]

I wish New Zealand has produced an equivalent band to Midnight Oil. Thank goodness we didn't produce an INXS equivalent though. One up to EnZed in that department.

[tweekbrothers]

There's only one person who can teach you to dance that bad assedly--CHUCK NORRIS!

[conchrocks9]

Peter Garret should join blueman group!

[llMasterCam]

i wish i could dance like that

[james450cc]

i dance like that at the pub. pullin all the chix

[prodasspro]

kinda makes me wish I was around when these guys were still together and popular

[dasham678]

2:51 what did he break?

[dasham678]

what kind of dancing is he doing lol????

[missjessieeeeeeeeeee]

He must be so shame now.

[missjessieeeeeeeeeee]

His dancing makes me want to cry.

[RageGazm]

good song its a shame peter garret dances like a spastic though

[ChrisTheChronic]

@RageGazm he dances LIKE A BOSS!!!

[XxXScirishWarLordXxX]

@RageGazm It's not a shame! it's awesome!

[Teejwano8]

@RageGazm I reckon when Mr Garrett is dancing his mind is far away from yours. He is one of the most stand-up people in the land. Save your silly comments for something useful.

[RageGazm]

@Teejwano8 Why are people taking offence from my comment? It was just a joke. Almost half the people here commented about his dancing. Did you complain about all the other comments too? I think Peter is a great man and I agree with you in saying he is a 'stand-up' bloke, because that's the truth. I think YOU should save your silly comments for something else mate, because you clearly didn't think your last silly comment all the way through.

[FalloutCOGDude]

@RageGazm That's what makes Midnight Oil awesome though XD

[Llamasissmartisays]

@RageGazm not his fault, someone just fed him after midnight

[youbetzler]

@RageGazm You watch your tongue good sir, Mr Garret would destroy all these little bitches on these dance competition shows. It has been scientifically proven that these dance moves directly increase the gravity around all panties within a 10 kilometre radius.

[BlueLimeMan]

@RageGazm lol

[QF97]

his dancing

[DenielleFEdwards]

Keep comin back to this song just love it STILL RELEVANT!

[Medafets]

If only he was as good a politician as he was a dancer.

[happyhead64]

he dances like a spaz, but I love Midnight Oil. This is the first song I ever heard by them. Love it.

[MarsMoonEuropa]

The biggest pain with you tube is when people load up 360p, 480p, and even HD!!!!

Guys, maybe if the video is truly HD, but as we can see in the above video 360p IS THE SAME AS 240p!!!!!!

It's a waste of bandwidth and it's ANNOYING!!!!

THE RESOLUTION WILL NEVER BE GREATER THAN THE NUMBER OF PIXILS IN THE ORIGINAL VIDEO!!!! PLEASE!!!!

[MissPoppy1998]

owww my stomach hurts from laughing to much! he is so funny i think i find them funnier than the proclaimes

[catfishy08]

Hahhahahhahahhahahhahaajhdjlsa­hsdjl;ahs;ljan;jsadfna;df

[Teolive]

Awesome vid, and dancing

[TommyDeBest]

i'll have what he's smokin

[BeNjI6576]

gotta love his spastic dancing....

[DenielleFEdwards]

Peter Garrett you are a bloody legend :)

[Burleism]

vevosux

[TheKyoGer]

The singer sounds kinda like the singer for Korn imo.

[JoTheSnoop]

My favourite Midnight Oil song, very closely followed by Blue Sky Mine.

[mar777ism]

whoever voted these guys down on the thumbs need to reconsider

[yxrated87]

loves the acid

[RetroBoyWontDie]

you can skip this ad and go back to when music was music in 00:04.

[roelran]

I love a plundered country...a land of corporate gains...

[larryluvewf]

He's doing in the Frankenstein!!! the lyrics are still RELEVANT!!!

[Pendarves1]

Been hitting the suggestions for all the good Aussie rock. Now Vevo's got me I'm fucked, gunna have to type, 'Run to paradise' baby.

[SockMunsta]

4:03

No offense, but i believe that is Voldemort

[prodasspro]

its better to die on your feet than live on your knees

[GoDaddie]

My ex dances like this...didn't find it so entertaining when he did it:)

[mamasankiley1]

Amazing now, amazing then!!

[bassgroove21]

someday, i wanna grow up to be just like peter garret

[henryvisdabest1]

why is there a fire extinguisher at 2.45????

[verlyntae]

This video and song still has the jolting power that it had on me when I first saw and heard it back in 1983. Great song, video and band! I wish today's 'musical artists' were more interested in environmental issues than publicity, stealing jewelry, and evading jail time.

[BlondieBitesBronte]

something happened inbetween this to becoming a politician, its like saying what happened to the space in 'in between'

[UndeadShadow20]

Peter Garret has to be one of the best dancers ever

[Slumminbum]

Bald dude spazzing out= awesome.

[chengy85]

@Slumminbum and he is one of our minister in Australia. *Facepalm*

[roelran]

@Slumminbum Ava Adore - Smashing Pumpkins

I think you'll enjoy it ;)

[dependence07]

2 people wish they could dance like Garrett

[ozzyturn]

Probably my favourite Midnight oil song. Just soooo many great lyrics!

[ozzyturn]

Probably mu favourite Midnight oil song. Just soooo many great lyrics!

[slamjam93]

Peter Garrett you dance like a fucking donkey haha

[DrDamnoz]

I am genuinely wishing i was capable of dancing that much like a muppet, dead set the man must have learned off Kermit or Grover. I just end up looking spazzy...

[MrToiletclogger]

0:03 FUCK THIS SHIT *Pours*

[sally65356]

Peter Garrett dancing - #WINNING!

[gsjbaldwin]

How cool is this song. Was the lead singer Peter Garrett? Outrageously good!

[slamjam93]

@gsjbaldwin yea he should have kept to singing i reckon bahahaha

[57rockhead]

I also them for the first time on Alan Thicke's show.If I'm not mistaken,they also did"Short Memory on the show.

[sirroxalot]

Anyone think he looks like the creepy principal from the Motley Crue "Smokin' in the Boysroom video'?

[Artkansas]

I saw them perform this live at the L.A. Street Scene. During one of the choruses of this song, in what appeared to be perfect synchronicity, the L.A.P.D charged through the crowd on horseback to break up the dancing going on in front of the stage. That night, downtown L.A. was in complete chaos.

[devinelines]

@Artkansas I was at that show, 1986 I believe it was. You're absolutely right about the riot police on horseback. That was the last time L.A. held a Street Scene. It was out of control.

[devinelines]

@Artkansas I was at that show (1986 I believe). You're right about the riot police on horseback. It was out of control. That was the last time L.A. had a Street Scene.

[pncwho]

One of my favorite bands from the 80s.  Midnight Oil ROCKS!

[froggyblat]

dance

[69kex69]

this guys doing the hastings shuffle

its just terrible make it stop!!!!!!!!!!

[theart1rm]

I forgot how much he dances around. He should be on Dancing With the Stars. He can win and donate all the money to saving the land.

[Piglatinsuperstar]

@theart1rm

I think he had a starring role in the original Hills have eyes

[robtetman]

THERE IS ONLY ONE PETER GARRETT!!!!!!

[snoopiesdad]

How could you not listen to this song without being pissed off about societys degeneration.? Its just enough to make you want to cry

[daniellreed1]

"it's better to die on your feet than live on your knees"-great line!

[theeartist]

@daniellreed1 A quote by the infamous Emiliano Zapata!

[solosextant]

I love Peter's true rythum.

[daniellreed1]

Capitalism sucks!!!  Even commercials for JZ before a Midnight Oil song. Have some respect.

[mikeellerbeck1]

@daniellreed1 Without capitalism, we wouldn't be where we are today. Your alternative is socialism and we've all seen how well that works out.f

[wellspout]

amazing this band still sounds so good, . best enviro- rock

on the planet, sine qua non

[larryluvewf]

Even tho he looks like sluck on the "Goonies"... and does the mad Frankenstein near the end of the video... he still hits everything dead on point to this day on this song!!! Another different kick ass song!!

[bunsomatic]

I believe this is the greatest music video ever...Especially considering it is...(25?) years old.

Me likey!

[brvsrrbn]

Peter Garrett and Tim Booth should form a superhero team fighting injustice with the power of their dance. Imagine this guy dancing at you in a dark alley. The gods themselves would tremble before such moves.

[MrQuarterpd]

this song is horrible
