[FOX9746]

Did you know Wendy Stapleton appeared in an episode of Blue Heelers? wouldn't be surprising since she is so versatile - and can sing! :)

[Winklepicker1983]

I'd forgotten this song till I came across the clip by accident. Cheesy & wonderful.

[STOKEOZ1967]

nzoz thanks for all the clips on here, you are a legend!!!, i could watch oz&nz music from 81-86 all day until the wife drags me off the computer!, just reminds me of being at high school in sydney in 1983!!, you wont find a more passionate pom lover of oz rock than me!! cheers fom stoke-on-trent, uk

[nzoz1983]

@STOKEOZ1967 thanx for the comment. it's nice to know what these channels do to peopple!

Your different from other poms - you actually attended our school system at sometime in your life! Congratulations for making it through!

[STOKEOZ1967]

@nzoz1983 thanks 4 your reply, that made me laugh!, i dont know how i survived high school myself,!, i went to 2 high schools in perth, 2 in sydney, and 1 in queens land!!!, between 1981+1984, and being from the north west of england, made it even harder!!! but i survived!! but listening to 2JJJ, 2MMM, 2SM, got me thru it!, and watching sounds, countdown, rock arena, ect....

[staffy58]

bugger me dead,adrian dessant.where is he these days,would love to know.saw the band play in st kilda with jd in line up....awesome!!

[calimero1982]

I have this song on a very old music cassette, recorded via microphone. Remember me on a good forgotten music time. The time of "the reflex", "industry" ,"personal column", "my mind with zorro" and "planet P-- why me" and other late identified songs.

[calimero1982]

and:

Space Monkey -- can't stop running....

[Jerpal]

Did Wendy and the Rocketts open up for Van Halen in Memphis, Tn in the early 80's?

[mooneepondskid]

I saw Wendy doing a show on channel 31 the other night. Its an interview show,I think its called Wrok. Good viewing!

Did Geoff Cox play with these guys

[redmanlax]

Great band - saw them a few times in Adelaide & Melbourne at their peak. Totally underrated, I have almost all their LPs and singles and everyone I play them to like the music. I agree "Telling Me Lies" is awesome.

[ouzoaussie3]

I love this song

[ouzoaussie7]

I love this song

[colemann76]

This should have a bigger hit, great song.

[sumfn2dootherthanbf2]

Has anyone got the clip for Telling me lies. Love to see it or at least hear the song.

Thanx.

[nzoz1983]

I might... i'll have a look.

[asegw]

Great band, great song. I got a kiss from Wendy when she was on tour once in Outback NSW. :)

[kahlerisms]

Part of this clip (Bath scene for example) was filmed at my parents place - they still have the bath :)

[staffy58]

yeah..well tell the folks dont use it.....dessant never washed !!!

[mooneepondskid]

Wendy has a very versatile voice. Well respected in the music industry but didnt get big commercial success,by the time video became king she was probably considered to "old looking".

[firebird63]

when we did the bubble bath scene the guys all said bloody hell shes a girl!..chris worrall of Lofven and worrall...film clip makers ..yes that is what we called them! check out "telling me lies" cheers

[nzoz1983]

It's really sweet to hear from you. I've put up a lot of Chris Lofven video clips... should I also quote Worrall? Who said 'bloody hell she's a girl'? The band members or the video makers?

[breakfastwizard]

Amazing,

Noel, joey ,adrian, steve and wendy....

that band really cooked....

[zowie]

I loved Wendy yes yes yes yes

[mattdollmavis]

1983 the heat is on... haha cool

[reichman73]

I haven't seen this video for over 20 years! Brilliant! BTW, you can see Wendy and hubby Paul Norton and Michael Christian every Sunday night at Hardeman's Hotel in Macauley Rd Kensington. They're fantasic.
