Men At Work - Be Good Johnny (1982) - best quality upload.

[lozziestar4eva]

I got told by the teachers,

not to daydream...

Got told by my Mother

Be good Johnny...

[papariccardo]

Really good memories to this. I played it for my 13 yo son, & he reckons it's pretty good stuff for the olden days... Shame the master tape this was created from had stretching or speed issues - listen to the original CD of the song. I reckon a clever fella could stitch together a clean 320 rip to the video.

[Supersteelerfan1]

I dont like this because, I'm a hockey player,and I got a penalty, and the music guy played "BE GOOD JOHNNNY!" and my name IS Johnny. My team was laughing -.-

[nasali469]

I love this song

[nasali469]

I love this song :>

[angelkid79]

One of my favorite drive and skate songs back in the 80's Loved this band. (don't miss them shorts though, lol)

[angelkid79]

Oh God, I remember wearing shorts like that when I was that kid's age. Ehhhhh!!!! but gotta love them 80's.

[dgl1962]

I was only 20 when this came out, great memories.

[daniel191065]

muy bueno

[oceolot7]

Does anybody else remember this getting a ton of top 40 airplay back in 83? I swore this song a was a big hit, and then I found out it wasn't even released as a single.

[Teeheemanish]

LOOKS LIKE THE KID IS HAVING A FUCKING SEZURE!!!

[Teeheemanish]

SO ANNOYING!!!!!

[otatoptroy]

@Teeheemanish you just have no taste in music...

[nzoz1982]

@otatoptroy I think he's talking about the kid, not the music..

[otatoptroy]

@nzoz1982 i hope

[MrHilda06]

que buen grupo,,,tenian padrisimas canciones

[MsNycky]

Oh my! this was great to come across!!! My little brother (2 years gone now) is named Johnny and it even looks like him in the video. Thanks for the memories

[gonnabaroberts]

@nzoz1982

Yup yup I'm sure myfriend!! ^_^

[gonnabaroberts]

@nzoz1982!!

I need to subscribe to you!

[nzoz1982]

@gonnabaroberts You sure you want to? They're pretty addictive channels once you get to know the songs.

[selatik1]

This kid is now over 40! How time flies ...

[gonnabaroberts]

The vid was great as well !!

[gonnabaroberts]

I love the song,no doubt !!!

[gonnabaroberts]

What's up w the last half!!

[nzoz1982]

@gonnabaroberts What do you think?

[crispian67]

@gonnabaroberts It's an 80's Oz Music Trailer~lol! As a naturalised Aussie who visited in 82 as a teen but didn't get here til 88, I recognise most but not all of the featured bands, most of which despite being huge at the time are for the most part unknown outside Australian shores and in some cases within~Haha

[baychecks100]

well you sure are a funny kid jonny, be gay be gay, be gay be gay be gay, well i like you!

[chippydan]

what a brilliant song,brilliant band.i'm an aussie saw them in san diego in year 2000.amazing how big they are over in the states.

[thetylife]

Holy high kicks !!! ..with those parachute pants that can rival MC Hammer....Colin Hay quite figuratively and literally kick ass! lol

I didn't really like this song first time I heard it, but it grows on you like their other songs. Excellent video quality btw

[shack8110]

Ah - When pop music rocked and videos were unique and innovative and not strippers doing weird dancing. Killer riff.

[brownedoggg]

[nzoz1982]

@Carnage1235 How so?

[palmshb]

@Carnage1235 you mean nuchin' futs.

[nzoz1982]

@palmshb I think it's a subliminal context about how he likes munching on Aussie nuts... I could be wrong!??!

[Gummerman]

@Carnage1235 Relax boys, it's all compliments

[nzoz1982]

@Gummerman nuts cannot relax

[Gummerman]

@nzoz1982 The world bloody loves us anyhow

[yammerhaw101]

yeah, this is excellent quality!!!!

[Sineadlovesmusic]

hey, that guy in the video is my dad just to clarify because some people are saying he died? Not true. :) He is alive and well. Just to all those people who have comented and said things like 'i really don't like this video clip' you know what, if you don't like it don't watch it. And you don't have to coment on everything that you don't like. just enjoy the song and my dad :)

[dimigk1971]

@Sineadlovesmusic @Sineadlovesmusic I actually went to Stanmore Primary School with this little boy. If I remember correctly, his name was Noah. Give him my regards, my name is Dimi Galanakis by the way. If he has kept his school photos, I'm the girl standing up infront of Mr Smith in the 1982 5th class photo.(long wavy hair-typical wog girl,ha,ha). I don't know if he has told you, but he was actually a very good pupil and a really nice lad!!!

[johnjayden1]

The comment, What kind of boy are you John? used to make me laugh when it first was on MTV! Can't see it on my Youtube video, but when viewed on TV back in 1982, John seemed to roll his eyes up to that question! It was very clear what kind of boy John was! LOL

[vsnips]

Great guitar sound

[JockNStrap]

Ya gonna pull a hammy Colin doing those high kicks

[qwertydorknut5]

[rowdymax1]

Summer, 1982....great time to be alive!

[ryanspeed]

[TheBobCave]

[rowdymax1]

"OZZY OZZY OZZY!!!!!! OY OY OY!!!!!!"

[rowdymax1]

the little kid is Conan O'Brien at age 10.

[angelkid79]

@rowdymax1 No, He graduated as Valedictorian of his high school in 1981. The kid is not him, too young.

[rowdymax1]

Colin Hay was great on a "Scrubs" episode.

[eternalsouls2]

[nitababewells]

[dorn2100]

Great anthology of '82 tunes from down under!

[thelaptopguyoz]

Far out- just like me back in 1982. Good years

[johnathanloh]

all i can hear is.... bacon bacon! bacon bacon bacon!

[SheriffTankStoner]

@johnathanloh When I first heard this back in '83, I thought they were singing 'bigot'.

[dgl1962]

I signed up for the Marines about when this came out.

[Mrn00bz0rz]

short shorts

[JimmJoe64]

I love the reverb in his voice! the eye thing too!

[tichfuie]

good ol' Aussie men at work, they just rock,

80's music were the cream of the cream,

so original and full of innovative stuff back then.

[DamianEatsNails]

So happy Im a child of the 70s-80s. Music was larger than life and songs were unique. That's why it's endured and always will. :)

[youraverageuser]

be good Johnny 

[MegaAverageMan]

ooooo whos the jerk who put all these songs at the end? now i gotta find them too. Lol

[sanderella]

These guys were some oddballs, right down to Colin's crazy eyeball.. but I loved their music!

[groquemendez]

is the maximum this song be good Johnny greetings from acapulco leaves

[hooligan11392]

era un pendejo maldito y le decian que sea bueno. be good be good...

[UglySean]

The Supernanny song!

They really revived a classic by using that as their theme.

Now I've adopted it as my daughter's theme because the torturous father I am, made her watch Supernanny with us for her own good. Didn't work. But at least we tried.

[orioleman5]

Would be funny if the dog got over the fence!! LOL

[rexowens1000]

A great group from Belgium!,glad to see this video that was shot in Brazil.

[EyeSea4VseMoHajaEsAi]

@rexowens1000 Um, they're from Australia, actually.

[quantummandavid]

Wow I'm 23 and I have never seen anything like that in my life lol I feel weird

[UglySean]

My daughter hates this song because Supernanny adopted it.

[Overchecking]

Australian! Ma arse. the lead singers Scottish lol

[EinMagillaGorilla]

@Overchecking

Perhaps you should ask Colin if he's Australian or Scottish? I know the answer. Stick you lol up you're arse! Dickhead!

[EinMagillaGorilla]

@rexowens1000

Really? You need to check your facts.

[iJROCK]

12 people hate dreaming.

[gunslingerlegend]

0:30 for that you should die in hell!

[MegaBangalore]

Why is this video so long?

[Mesiha1]

i love this effin' kid! he reminds me of myself! nothing wrong with "day dreamin'" ... at least something gets accomplished!

[Carnage1235]

Jesus Christ, Aussies and Kiwis were fucking nutty in the 80's.

[orioleman5]

@Carnage1235 Still are i reckon, some of the coolest peeps i ever met are from Oz!!!

[RaidrWolf]

@walkerth58 I do remember it on the radio in the 80s, I liked it, and I think it was popular.

[madercic3aolcom]

I could never understand why this song wasn't a hit (in the U.S.)

[John6yt]

@madercic3aolcom It was never released as a single in the U.S. I'm guessing since the Cargo album was coming out in 1983, their record company didn't want to release any more U.S. singles off Business as Usual.

[AustralianGuyyy]

Ah, best upload of this fab song. Thanks NZOZ again.

[pdbordelon]

Would have been perfect if there wasnt all that garbage video after the Men at Work song. Why would the guy who originally posted this do that?? Sooo annoying. Anyone know where to find this wonderful video without 3 minutes + of crap attached to it?

[marehtseira]

@pdbordelon Sunnyboys were good; don't hate until you actually hear the songs in their entirety

[pdbordelon]

@marehtseira I stand by my original comment...Im not trying to knock the Sunnyboys (though they are not my cup of tea). I just found it annoying that the Men at Work video wasnt posted alone...of course its all good as beggars (me) shouldnt be choosers!

[ishouldplayzelda]

bigot bigot bigot, bigot bigot bigot, bigot bigot bigot, bigot johnny! bigot bigot bigot, bigot bigot bigot, bigot bigot bigot, bigot johnny! bigot bigot bigot, bigot bigot bigot, bigot bigot bigot, bigot johnny! bigot bigot bigot, bigot bigot bigot, bigot bigot bigot, bigot johnny!

[milesthered]

That kid in this video is creepy. I used to look like that at his age, except the hair was slightly darker. And I used to be teased a lot with this song as I was a dreamer back then.

[milesthered]

I used to look like that kid at that age. Creepy. People used make fun of me with this song because I was such a dreamer. Memories... :)

[ThePaintercat]

awesome ending

[mvpportland2112]

DO YOUR JOB DASHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

[zjjp2]

ahhh... 1st track on side 2 of the cassette. I remember the summer of 82 well... good times, good memories

[jess7cha]

11 persons names are johnny and weren't good :p

[Anotherway04]

A real cool song along with an entertaining, wacky video. Real good stuff.

[cruntmonger]

it is the vary best

[FuzzboxVoodoo94]

is it sad I know that the "Supernanny" show uses this as it's theme song? I think it is.

[emtae001]

Whats with the creepy shorts?

[oflow100]

@emtae001

it was 1982 thats how people wore shorts lol. look up some old nba photos from back then even jordan still wore short shorts up til 85 or so.

[RaidrWolf]

@emtae001 - It's the early 80s. Look at 70's basket ball players and try to claim they are wearing "creepy shorts", too. They have the same style of shorts as these. If you have to ask, you need to do your homework on the period before you make a comment.

[vaticinus]

The only part i recall was the kid wrecking the flowers

[RaidrWolf]

@vaticinus LOL

[merchantfan]

OK, trying to suss this out: cricket + football, but the football is American?

[hd50Bouted]

@merchantfan Australia refers to Soccer as Football, just like a majority of countries.

[merchantfan]

@hd50Bouted Yes, but in the video they use an American football.

[hd50Bouted]

@merchantfan So I did some searching and the oval shaped ball is actually from Australian Rules Football, which is kind of like Rugby played on a modified Cricket field but with no scrum or really any stopping at all it seems.

[merchantfan]

@hd50Bouted That is highly informative.

[TheAwsomeman888]

@hd50Bouted some may but i as a auzzie do not and get screeched at for it

[stucknda60s]

Great song but I never ever liked the video. Woudl have preferred somethign grittier, darker, with 'Johnny' character more like a Mark 'Chopper' Read than a kid in 80's NBA style shorts. But a great song despite the video.

[TVIceBoxTV]

[gulskjegg]

Times, people, bands, and vibes like what we see here will never come again. The 80's were the pinnacle of mankind in many ways. The concept of outsourcing was relatively unknown, and the worlds economies were arguably better than today. Fewer wars, less societal strife, and the sky was literally the limit if you played your cards right. Sadly, those days are long gone. Today, life is what the corrupt "powers that be" decide it will be. Thanks for the memories, Men at Work! It was a great ride!

[Calvary48]

@gulskjegg Hahahahaha no. Go to Wikipedia right now and read the article about the 1980s. It produced good music and movies but it was still a shitty time. Afghanistan-Soviet war anyone? 1982 recession? Terrorist attacks? AIDs? Famine? Drug wars beginning in America? Hell yeah! Pinnacle of mankind right there

[Vebinz]

@Calvary48

gulskjegg is exaggerating, but you make the 80's out to be some apocalyptic nightmare. These things you wrote were bad, but didn't effect the average American.

[Calvary48]

@Vebinz I'm not saying that the 80's were an apocalyptic nightmare. I'm just pointing out that the 80's were a shitty time for a lot of people- just like every other decade. Plus, the 1982 recession, Aids, and the first drug wars did affect quite a few Americans. But yeah obviously the 80's were a lot better than the 00's!

[RaidrWolf]

@Calvary48 The bad part of the 80s was because bad people did bad things, or we were suffering because bad people did bad things. Afghanistan-Soviet war anyone? that was because bad Communists tried to expand their territory, had nothing to do with the U.S.

1982 recession? - That was due to the Carter administration and Reagan trying to fix it, which he did since the 80s had the highest economic prosperity since the 50s.

AIDs? That was because of the rampant practice of homosexuality.

[Calvary48]

@RaidrWolf "The bad part of the 80s was because bad people did bad things" No shit.

[alex007142]

se ve ashotao

[indyfan22k]

do they still play 5 seconds of this song at the Begging of Super Nanny or Nanny 911?

[hector69ize]

I totally adore this song.It still sounds good after all this time.Those were the 80's:inventive,simple,easy and so much fun to watch music videos unlike today's crap.back then it was so much easier.I MISS the 80's.

[ekosmurfboy]

my girlfreind from ozzy Melbourne

your this you that come on grow up and end of the day

we all come from the same place and that place is your mother womb

and there is only one race thats the human race dont forget to say fgrace before you go to bed at night

its like saying

ozzies are poms from england

[papoj1PVR]

Wonder if that kid did anything else (before and) after this music video

[CairoDuqane]

@papoj1PVR yeah he's brill!

[EinMagillaGorilla]

@papoj1PVR

Does it matter??

[losdog13]

@papoj1PVR He probably grew up to be a sonova bitch!

[longfootbuddy]

@papoj1PVR he was beat to death by his neighbor, who is now serving life in prison

[John38819]

The good old days of junior high, wow

[dgl1962]

Ha ha, that kid's about 40 now.

[mrbishi1000]

Hey look, Fair go! Australia and the United States of America both have heaps of good stuff and heaps of crap, and we're better at co-operating than any other two countries put together. Also thanks for the nice surfing comments though the yanks really made surfing world wide cool - it's a fact. PS I'm indigenous to Oz, but I think a lot of Aussies are proud of their convict or immigrant heritages and the now is nothing like then - Sic vid!

[skeletor1993]

australia fucking dominates . statistically the best army in the world . australian army reserves have beaten the american marines 9 years straight in war games. for our size we have the best living standards . highest % of educated people (upto highschool) best medical in the world. an amazing government that isnt bloodthirsty and knows how to look after its own people without being too far in debt. and is often a country that is in surplus . australia is excellent.

[freezebuttgirl]

I LOVE men at work!! I'm 15 and I used to live in Australia, its awesome (except the health care) I would go back any day :)

[aderballl1]

simplesmente demais...superavancados pra epoca......

[LOOPWHOLEBEATS]

this song sucks

[TheCrocHunter1]

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

[jamesnewton777]

i love men at work. god bless those aussies and there flood.

[Nacho66]

Yeah, the '80's really were that gay. Especially in Australia and New Zealand.

[xZippy38]

I only like dreaming, all the day long.

[ltrich50]

Ah, back in the day when videos didn't need gazillion dollar budgets.

[fionabooba]

@ltrich50 is dead on the Money!! Ha

[ikill4klondikebars]

@ltrich50

or an entourage of half naked, ass shaking, women.

[coolmatterstome]

America is not so great, we have mediocre surf but we act like we own the world's surfing industry but it's just an Hollywood afterthought to the bulk majority that don't live on the 2 coasts. The vast majority of Americans are into American Football and the NBA. At least in OZ, the country as a whole IS a (REAL) Surfing Nation with a range of incredible waves all around and the MAJORITY of the population live on the coasts AND SUPPORT and RECOGNIZE the sport of surfing WHOLEHEARTEDLY!!

[DOUGLAS55ish]

@coolmatterstome Surfing was invented in our 50th state and is very popular where there is surf so what are you talking about? I suspect that the Aussies respect the North Shore of O'ahu.

[killingjack]

@DOUGLAS55ish Surfing was brought to the U.S. from the country of Hawaii, not state, and was not invented there.

@killingjack I know Hawaii was a
