Icehouse- Hey Little Girl

[WinchesterRanger]

This song will drift out into space, and alien civilizations will know without question that we are, or perhaps were, the coolest race that ever existed.

This is the finest song ever written by the hand of man.

[angryassdrummer]

love Icehouse! they wrote such great adult pop tunes, and still the biggest selling aussie album in australia

[Musemaniac247]

1980,81,82,83,84 are still the best and most original years for music,fashion everything.Miss them so much.

[Christopherkelly1888]

Brilliant just going through my favourite musicxx

[InnuendoXP]

if only it actually had the live audio track :P

[riandata]

Great song, I'm getting old...

[soloist777]

Yes, I think it was the summer of 1982. I was just out of high school and used to listen to this on radio on those hot summer evenings in Brisbane. Life was stretched out before me, full of possibilities. So many memories!

[giantcivils2011]

this pure blast from the past the 80s lives on do listen to any thing but 80s truly amazing ice house !!!!!!!!!

[andy49288]

pure class

[ivadavies2011]

This takes me back this song goes right through you.

[84DTinman]

So lame, but I like it, sooo ya.

[deska76]

simply GREAT!!!

[lejeune1945]

The hairs still stand up on my neck when I hear this and I am 66yrs old this year.Who can stand still when this is playing?I remember seeing them live on "The Tube" on TV and the singer was using 3 or 4 keyboards WoW!Many thanks for posting.

[TheCrocHunter1]

Have just uploaded a classic AUSTRALIA TRIBUTE involving Michael Jackson.....Cheers AUSSIE fellas and sheilas

[halatono7]

Iva Davies looks like a Mormon missionary in that haircut, LOVE IT though, better than the mullock he sported in the Electric Blue video. I was really just a little girl of seven when this came out; much more appreciation for it now than I did back then!

[AdmiralofU2]

Man, was Iva Davies' hair really that short?!

[TheSandsie13]

this is the album everybody should have in their library. it really does rock.

[fernhem]

Was 17 at the time & will always remind me of my 1st steady girlfriend. Great Album

[sonnythetwit]

This song is way too cool, love it!

[MrDaveLogan]

Australia's best musical composer who somehow became a writer of three and a half minute pop songs and didn't thing it was all that bad.

[318i]

The problem with the 80s was that there were SO many awesome bands. I wish we had that problem now.

[MarkMuses]

To this?

Smacks a chord. 1 pint maybe laughed, 2 pints listen, 3 pints cry your heart out. It's a tough world. Live it as best you can and look after the ones you love.

[MarkMuses]

Beautiful.

Laugh at the 80s with a pint, simply listen with two, cry your heart out to this after three.

[Abarthcar33]

Ace, 80s song. Fab Thanks!!!

[spikeoscar]

i never head before, is beautiful "No Promises" i liked much viva icehouse

[SSsupercharged6]

I was only a young lad when i heard this song...loved it plus many other songs from this era...i now have a 10 yr old daughter who has a great appreciation for music from 60's-00 and 80's stuff is a big part of it ; ) her fav's are icehouse, tears for fears and men at work...she also loves cold chisel!!!

[sheebaridgeback]

Ichouse had many hit singles in Australia. Not sure about their international success. They were and always will be a very important part of Australia's rich musical history.

[retrosound72]

awesome song and band

thanks for posting

[adinufc]

fantastic song,after all these years , just love listening to it,personally find it sad,but my daughters will always be my little girls.

[cantonadenmark]

great song from the 80's...sadly it was THE only song they had in them...they acctually scared Ferry and Bowie for about 5 seconds....

[patmac56]

@cantonadenmark , never heard of "Great Southern Land", Icehouse, Street Cafe, etc,etc,etc..........

[lylymad]

Great song! Thanks for posting this performance.

[2309brenda]

great song

[MajorManny]

@bartonim - Guy Pratt did go on to play with Bryan Ferry as a solo artist and has more recently played with the re-formed Roxy Music. He actually got his first taste of the big time playing with Icehouse, who were sometimes derided as a Ferry/Roxy/Bowie wannabe band. Pratt met Ferry's producer while recording with Icehouse.

[electricfirecracker]

Iva Davies is God...

[KingStevoPunk]

the aussie david bowie! :P

[stevechavura]

@KingStevoPunk I've always thought that!

[mitchmeister111]

the aussie gary numan!!!

[nellydemode]

Simplemente lo maximo!!!

[27webber]

Great Track, thanks

[voicebeyond]

no puu, is good. yes, this Australia musica. Yip ha. Torro, torro!

[fotoracing]

puuuuu que jovencito estabas no dejes de hacer musica!!!! la musica es para siempre hasta q mueras!!!!

[MajorManny]

Check out Guy Pratt on bass! He went on to play with Pink Floyd/David Gilmour, Robert Palmer, Jimmy Page and tons of sessions. I think he was the only British guy in this lineup of Icehouse.

[bartonim]

@MajorManny I think he was in Roxy too, wasn't he? You can hear a Roxy Music/Ferry influence--no bad thing! I loved this band!

[kiwimork]

Iva Davies ruled the 80s and beyond - sucha fab singer

[mtrowest]

An absolutely great track. I just cannot believe that Bryan Ferry did not write it. If I was Bryan I would have clamined it...

[noonyis1]

is it Chris issacs??...i dont know,,but ive always loved this song..x

[Mariekesone]

Great song...Lovely low down, warm vocals...always thought it was Brian Ferry who sang this...

Icehouse a really good eighties band!!!

[ejv208]

The guys name is Iva Davies, good hey.

[frigate100]

Methinks they were called the Flowers when this song came out........? In Britain anyway! I might be wrong but I remember being in the UK when this came out and I'm sure they were called the flowers ?

[frigate100]

Thx Tredman, I thought so...... Was a long time ago but I remember this song when I was still in Scotland b4 emigrating to Aus and they were THE FLOWERS

[TheMonolith75]

Oh!! I remember this song! This is waaaayyy back...I didn't know Icehouse made this!! Cool song!!

[MTCatman]

I like it, thanks!

[alexandre210613]

Merci, merci, merci ! Nostalgie quand tu nous tiens !

[dirkbogarde44]

Didn't he sound just like David Sylvian ?

[steve77london]

Fantastic - so smooth, Great days.

[qtkitty4u]

Iused to fall asleep to this song in the car when we where on long trips

[TheGodParticle]

i remember this, time has stood still since then...

[blondie1159]

Markus Hofmann from Days Of Triumph sounds exactly like Icehouse.

[mariasalten]

this is sooo great. I was teenager when this was a hit. Brings me back in time, for sure!

[kevos65]

how i wish,meant to give u a thumbs ups but hit the wrong button,sorry

[redredreds100]

@mariasalten so was I, you now must be an old timer haha

[mariasalten]

@redredreds100 Yep, but only on the outside!! c'',)

[mariasalten]

@redredreds100. yes, I am not the most fresh meat, but I'm only old on the outside! c'',)

[Islandsprincesas]

Exquisita!!! Gracias

[DrHeckill]

great great great, thanks!

[sarcasticbyfar]

class

[bob22222269]

I heard this song when I was 8 and have been a fan of Icehouse ever since!!

[shokwave321]

Another Superb song..the good old 80s eh ??? stick this up your rap crap arseholes you stupid little chav sheep tag along white niggers ...........oh good what price is individuality.........

[alexandre210613]

goose bumps !!! so many "souvenirs", sure the same for all of you !!!!!

[jbl456]

This groove flows real good, love the synths in it!

[lisalone]

i remember hearing this song for the first time at an "after party". i thought it was bryan ferry (you young'uns won't remember him) cool song any way!!!

[suki9533]

When I first heard this I too thought it was Ferry/ Roxy Music. However I also noticed a similarity to David Sylvian (Japan). Odd really as Steve Jansen (Sylvian's brother) ended up recording with Icehouse later on.

[kevos65]

remember those type of partys,think we need to sort a party of collective times..............i miss them

[Merlleena]

Smooth as a bar of Cadbury Chocolate.

Yummy yummy yummy. Mmmmmm lol

Numan my ass.

[SPERANZA65]

he tried to take off numan in this..

[suki9533]

I see what you mean - similar looks into the camera, small openings of the mouth, lifting of the eyebrow.....

[SPERANZA65]

Have to agree with you suki...David Sylvian def!! ( hey and cheers for the neg. comment guys!...i love you all.... i wasn't actually saying anything bad... hehe!! )

[nencyli]

good old music...

[frantheod]

During a long time, i thought it was Peter Godwin, if you remember...

[kristianjoneid]

just an awesome track reminds me of being in primary 7 at rockwell school halloween party in assembley hall just awesome memories xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx­xxxx sheer brilliance xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

[Seannie686]

cool!!!

[bigjoea2k8]

Is this guy smoother than a bagfull of smooth things or what....

[geprgiegirl]

Loved this song .....It was in the charts ,the first week that I started my first job......

[LadyScreaming]

Great tune!

[PHXVic]

This is brilliant music form the 80's while being in the military I got to visit Australia and the UK and got to see many of the 80's newwave bands in their heyday. I didnt get to see Icehouse until opening a newspaper in LA and they were playing Santa Monica CC that night with the Woodentops awesome show and Iva and the boys played 6 encores

[exilog]

half roxy music half japan , totally brilliant

[spottydog4472]

more bowie than roxy.......

[redredreds100]

@exilog andlittle gary numan

[microlinCooper]

you are right sounds lot like roxy music,

also backdraft version is good,

[notebookcritic]

Sounds like Roxy and Brian Ferry to me.

Which is the same as saying it sounds awesome.

[RunesAndSands]

Ahh to be able to see that band live...:(( sadly I didn't get the chance to

[spottydog4472]

He was 'inspired' by Bowie..it shows..the only good band to come out of Australia,

[123xxrobertx]

that's right, unforgettable for me too,very nice tune! makes me thoughtful sometimes

[duranasty]

i thought they were nz.still a top tune.

[Keijz74]

Sorry. What do you mean wich nz? :o)

[Keijz74]

Oh, New Zealand of course! ;o)#

[AussieKanga89]

love this song!

[LJ77K]

Nice song. Personally I think Crazy is their best.

[alexbosoni]

Great song

[DarkCentury85]

the guy on the keyboard is definetly

Gay:)

[feefeeles]

do u fancy him?

[johnied8509]

why didn,t he sing live the lip singing looks so obviuos.

[etthewrapman]

it's lip-synching you bone-head not lip singing... and the synchronisation of the audio and visual on the video is out dumbass... it's not him

[johnied8509]

I meant to say lip-synching and there is no need for the negative comments we are all gods children take it easy and have a good day.

[dabombinator]

poopies

[vampyr1960]

My God Im Getting Old !!

[Sh1ekk]

But youn can live for another 50 or more Years :)

[rideltrompeta]

very good, cheers

[joemb1977]

What happened to the mullet from hell?

[kxmpen]

The mullet hit the street around 1985.

OFC we all wanted one -,-

I guess this was b4 that.. 83 sweet memories.

[jdzloz]

whats the mullet mean?

[kxmpen]

Its when u cut your hair short at the sides, but keep it long at the back... was very popular in the 80`s.. and in Tjecko[slovakia] until 2006 when jagr got rid of his.

In Sweden we called it Hockeyfrilla[Hockeyhair?]

[clayholeian]

lol hockey hair

[kropladeszczu1]

świetna:)

[marthadaviss]

EXCELENTE ICEHOUSE

[Ub3rSk1llz]

They changed their name from The Flowers..

[barbarossaUK]

Anyone who associates this song with perversion should have a good look at themselves first.

[psarogiorgis]

Curvlee, ti putana eisai mori?

[WinchesterRanger]

Well here it is, my absolute favourite song of all time.

This song will drift into space and whatever is out there will know that we are simply the coolest thing that ever was, is, or will be.

[vja1970]

Mine too. Brings back memories of sumone I used to know :-(.. Ahhh the good times

[jabbso]

philosphical - I like it!

[adriantabatha]

this is on my all time top ten too, and it's interesting to see all the remixes even recent ones. guess this song has had quite a cult following, but it's so beautifully done. in my case we can thank the old mtv, because i wouldn't have found the song otherwise.

[Railsnorthwest]

thank Axia

[nadine1943]

love it, was looking for it for 3 years.............something nice

[amelhuish]

just amazing. I interviewed iva on Radio Massey University Radio in 1980... great guy. this is just a great song from a great band and an awesome singer.

[JBLateralus]

great southern land is over played still today on the radio, don't hear this one as much, i like!

[WishUWel]

can someone pliz send Don't believe anymore original version ? It was on Utube a few months ago and vanished, this song is so beautiful Thank you XXXX

[philingwent]

I don't get the song lyrically? hey little girl and if you think about it the music is dark too! it's not like a cheerful tune good track though but in this day and age! i don't know but the song just reminds me of perverts. I picture Ian huntley singing it! put this to the lyrics and you'll know what i mean!

[fivecougarsoz]

still just as awesome two decades later

[Railsnorthwest]

I still have the cassette. I first heard this band on a Seattle station in the 80's called the wave. Its amazing how huch now i hear that Roxy Music element now that you mention it. Being a fan of Roxy and Mr. Ferry all those years

[axia17]

The bass player in one version of Icehouse used to play in Roxy Music

[vinayorekondy]

Not sure why this song is so well-known...this has nothing on Great Southern Land, which is one of the greatest songs of all time

[tordoff]

This was the first song to get substantial publicity in the UK and when I talk to people about Icehouse this is the only track they know.

For those who really know the bands work then I think Great Southern Land (the exteneded version from the album of the same name) is without doubt their best.

Couple of other tracks which get my vote are Shaking the Cage from Spin One (Full circle sample Disc) and the Man of Colours from the Video Cassette.

[tordoff]

Sorry should have said No Promises from Great Southern Land

[funkmachine123]

Anyone who does'nt love the 80s music must be mad. It brings back so many great times.

[TREYCEMONE]

I loved this song back in the day...love it still..ove that Australian invasion!!

[REDDWARFV]

Great Song.

similar to David Sylvian/Japan

Check out Swing, one of my favorites

[FLORENT2222]

yes it is a great song, but I disagree when you compared it to Japan: Japan had a very unique style. I don't know any band I can compare to Japan

[jabbso]

I love this song!!!!!!!!

[hanselkksc]

The Australian Roxy Music !

[FLORENT2222]

yes, you're right !! I imagine Bryan ferry singing tha t song. it would be perfect

[kristianjoneid]

brill track reminds me off a school disco at rockwell primary school in dundee i was in primary 7 great memories

[AdyMiles]

great song. very 80's. shame the lip-sync is a bit off

[mukhol]

great track

[mukhol]

great track

[dudits3]

Amazing, makes me remmember the magics 80's

[dudits3]

Amazing, makes me remmember the magics 80's

[timmybelic]

one of my favourites of the 80's!

[madnessmather]

I wonder if they liked Aussie Rules or Rugby League

[hannahspanner13]

Probably League...Syndeysiders

[Seannie686]

COOL!!!

[aliboo30]

Cooooool

[marti652004]

Just reading Guy Pratts autobiography(bassist) He had quite a time with them!

[damo1128]

cool

[alfhalvling]

I use too hear this song

Every time a girl broke up with me

[jabbso]

Tune of the evening for me, its amazing what a bottle of wine and nostalgia does!

[Mattyuk1]

Who cares if its live or not? it still sounds good.

[scribendi777]

FANTASTIC!!!

[jjjacquier]

EXCELLENT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Mbantua]

Iva Davies the frontman and main songwriter for Icehouse said in an interview that one of his influences is David Bowie.

[Waynos73]

True - I can really here Bowie and Pink

Floyd in Iva's music. Legend!

[Xxfancythat79xX]

I always thought this was Bryan Ferry til I bought a compilation album with this song on it! Now I can't get enough of Icehouse lol

[ferfsake]

every thiing on top of the pops then was canned . i cant remember any one doing it live.. i remember bands saying they would not go on because they couldnt play live..part of the b..b.c machine.

[svhresi]

80s rocks...that will never come again...

[Rami8184]

Weiß jemand wo man sich den Song downloaden kann? Oder hat jemand den als Datei, such den nämlich.

[redfred70]

Such a brilliant song. The best that Roxy Music never did. I just cant believe it was 25 years ago !

[LadyRainfire]

Let's face it, Iva Davies is a musical genius and just plain hot... LOL.. Smooth doesn't even begin to describe him. Intelligent, talented, attractive, what's not to like about him? Even if it was a cheap lip-synch appearance? It's not like he probably had a choice at the time, check out his latest "Your God (not mine)" on his website.

[stormynik2]

I total agree what you said about Iva-he is yummy!!!

[badamj2000]

Fuck! IIve never seen this clip. Soul Train! Brilliant . Smooth indeed. Go Iva legend. One of my fav songs

[AeronRune]

Because on different music shows they weren't allowed to sing live...its a loud of shit but thats the way it was...

[cRaBuLaR]

why the fuck aint he singing for real!! great song but if he cant even sing it thats shit

[webaroos]

Mate, this group writes and produces it's own music, this is a low quality video so you have to forgive for that, but Icehouse is a cut above the rest for quality.

[WalkingE]

That might be the worst attempt at lip-synching I've ever seen. ;-) Still, it's an amazing song.

[apeasskicker]

Too cool, though to me, sounds less like Bryan Ferry and more like David Sylvian from Japan. Perhaps I'm going deaf!! Still a great song though, the 80's had a slight edge musically, methinks.

[webaroos]

Sssssmmmmmmooooooooooottthhhhh­h

[LanceMoris]

CHYREEESSSSSSSSSSS SSONGGGGGG
