The Sleepy Jackson- Miniskirt

[ofnarcr]

@johnoXdamage agreeee!

[ClassyBug]

Oh wow. That's Luke Steele ya'll! lol

[miniskirt04]

sausages~

[dirkbogarde44]

He's just fantastic isn't he ?

[jacktala1]

i hate fuckin saaantana...looser. a jimmie hendricks wannabee... ok..nough said. THIS is a great rock n roll song from down under.......thx sleepy!

[woodenindian87]

I don't understand why people feel the need to compare Empire of the Sun with Sleepy Jackson. Sure, Luke is in both groups but they represent at least two entirely different genres. This isn't to say that you can't have a preference for one over the other, but to say one is better than the other is a bit ridiculous.

[DADDYMOUSTACHE]

LUKE STEELE IS SO CUTE!

[stragmusic]

lmao at guy with the cone lol

[EmilyC8526]

fav song!!

[fearnot12]

I saw Luke Steele today when I was walking my local high street, he looked fantastic, he was on a mission, I wanted to mob him like a school girl but thought better of it (I'm a 47 y/o man) what a presence, what a guy !!

[gwynetthh]

i like his cut off stripped shirt with a gun on it, lol, i want one

[syntheticahXXX]

this sound is too much snogged T__T

[HCSTUD4751]

Empire Of The Sun is much better

[luiseduardoVM]

Joe jonas O.O OMG !!!!

[gwynetthh]

@luiseduardoVM dont compare him to joe jonas lol joe jonas is inferior compared to this singer, the jonases are inferior all the time...dont see the connection, sorry if you really like them or somthin

[themikuancafe]

@luiseduardoVM ew wtf?

[verloren82]

great song from a great album!!

[bingo4borscht]

he is soooo sexy.. nom nom nom.. makes this sick day... mmmm that much better!

[liptastic]

i used to be soo obsessed with this song.

[liketammysaids]

@lipstasic

Yea and i bet u was obessed with Luke!

[chuobio]

So Sleepy jackson became Empire of the Sun?

[caramelchee]

@chuobio no Luke Steele has puut sleepy jackson on hold to do Empire with Nick Littlemore form Pnau.

[manlymanf]

not really...Empire of the Sun is only Luke's sideproject

[liketammysaids]

arrrm dunno.

[Vans93]

NOPE

[Giacass2]

Luke steele is genius. Sleepy Jackson are an exponent of the holy triumverate of australian artists.

[woozawozzle]

Luke Steele must have been a massive flaming lips fan

[sigursiggi]

oh, man...so good. breath of freshy from here, anyway.

[angie4josh]

This was my favorite Australian band.

[mtlh05]

It's a fucking sausage fest up in this mug.

[cheyne32]

hey adamndirtyshame. listen smart guy, elton john ,amy winehouse and the rolling stones are from england jackass! ur welcome dipshit. learn music before you look like a dumbass

[Borghunter]

I'm not a huge fan of The Sleepy Jackson, but Luke Steele is pretty great. Empire of the Sun! That duo rocks. Also, don't forget about his Empire of the Sun bandmate Nick Littlemore from PNAU!

[johnoXdamage]

@Borghunter half mast is the shit

[butcha83]

worst video ever..specially at 1 18

anyway good song

[LenOval]

The SJ are sooooo good. I am so proud they come from my land!!

[adamndirtyshame]

think australia's cool buddy??? well im american and guess what michael jackson, prince, willie nelson, metallica, billy joel, arethra franklin, big daddy kane, elton john, eminem, the rolling stones, bruce springsteen, johnny cash, amy winehouse, jimmy hendrix, santana, bob marley, and yo la fucking tengo all have in common? THEYRE AMERICANS. youre very welcome.

[LenOval]

Ha ha. Yeah you're sooooo free (hear my sarcasm boy).

Are you suggesting that there is only one musician that isn't American? Bet you know screw all about Iraq or any other country. Some of my favourite bands are from America but you, my friend, are the kind of person that gives the States a bad name. Holy shit!! Peril is right The rolling Stones ARE English along with others. You chose some bad examples of "American music" (a good song by the Violent Femmes by the way).

[LenOval]

And if you think that ruining Iraq is a good thing well understand this - you are referring to the destruction of the cradle of civilisation. It's ancient Mesapotamia. The laws that you think make your country great were derived from laws that came from this area. So you are destroying your own history too. Aint that just hilarious???

[adamndirtyshame]

yes iraq is the cradle of civilization, but what blog worthy bands have they produced recently?? its possible they have a decent underground scene like detroit techno, but what does that have to do with anything? should we have not fire bombed civilians at dresden because of "99 red balloons"?

[LenOval]

Yeah I'm not going to talk to you on here anymore. You try to cover your lack of intelligence by trying to come across as quirky. You're too lacking in wit for me to have stimulating discourse with. Yes. It is a dirty shame.

[letmeloginyoucunt]

what the fuck, you are not america, you just live there, ofcourse there will be alot more good artists, there alot more people in general. fuckhead.

[scotttblisss]

hahahahahahahahaha

captain ironic strikes again

[perilX]

Pretty funny. Elton John, Amy Winehouse and The Rolling Stones are from England, Bob Marley is Jamaican and while Santana was formed in the US, Carlos Santana is from Mexico.

Every country has good music to share, however I would wager the US has more bad music. Yes, I am from the US.

[1Ice1]

@perilX have you explored all the cultures you just mentioned?

[3927marco]

Santana,the rolling stones,amy winehouse,bob marley,elton john.american?

hehehe you are a idiot

[donzoot]

he didn't say that....... If only you could read a full sentence without missing out words.

[caramelchee]

your a fuckin idiot, people like you are the reason everyone hates americans. and go learn somehting dumbfuck, the stones, elton john, amy winehouse are english.

[scoundr3l]

Let's no go there, caramelchee. Until your country catches up with mine, don't try to rally an 'everyone hates america' discussion. Enjoy the music.

[caramelchee]

@scoundr3l i agree with the music part but no one wants to "catch up" with the U.S.: no other countries want to wrongly invade nations, have a fucked up health care system, high crime rates, and the highest obesity rates in the world

[scoundr3l]

@caramelchee. There are so many things wrong with that statement, I wouldn't know where to begin. Suffice it to say, even if you could pick out 4 things America is doing wrong, you're only highlighting everything else we do right.

So let's drop it. Regardless of how you feel about America, we're on your side.

[caramelchee]

@scoundr3l why dont you set me straight then? why dont you explain to me how the U.S. is doing such a great with its health care in comparison to...Brittain, Australia, Canada. why were homicide rates in Atlanta so much higher than Toronto or Sydney?

[scoundr3l]

@caramelchee Two reasons: The first and most obvious is that it has nothing to do with this video. The second is that I couldn't explain to you, in 500 characters, the complexities of health care systems and statistics. If you're hell-bent on trying to muscle up your country to mine, do it in private messages.

[astra5204]

je suis francais et j aime l univer de Luke steele yeah Luke steele rocks

[xjulie92x]

wow pretty mad.... i love 1.18 bahahahaha

[butcha83]

[agey]

[drinkyourtea]

they aren't talking about the clothes you idiot

[agey]

um. between both new and old. he still looks like a wanker in his choice of clothing. hes talking about evolution, im talkin about what a tool he looks like in past and present. new music=good, clothing=bad. thank you and goodbye. "idiot"

[drinkyourtea]

they are talking about his music not his clothes I personally could care less about his damn clothes

[liketammysaids]

@agey

Well kinda but he's even more weirder in Empire Of The Sun...but still cute!

[jonjons1]

wonder if he had some premonition of his future self wearing that"fat boy" hat

[carmenismin]

Lets all comment the sleepy jackson now because empire of the sun is totally in... dickheads.

[parachuteclubbed]

That's how popular culture works, kiddo. Get used to it.

[carmenismin]

Oh yeah? No kidding! Thanks HEAPS for the update.

[parachuteclubbed]

Stop being a sour puss.

[drinkyourtea]

the sleep jackson comes from where i am

[NeoGee]

Its called: Some people had never heard of sleepy jackson until empire of the sun became popular now they're going back and discovering them.

[Katiccia]

that's right!

[jimmynoppi]

That Luke is so sweet!

[liketammysaids]

@jimmynoppi

The cutest thing ive eva seen in my lifetime! (:

[IglooDweller]

Is that Luke in the yellow hat? D: He looks like a different person!

[empireofthesunn]

Luke is looks so cutee here.

Not that he doesnt always :P

[drunkendestruction]

I became a big fan of these guys when I saw them play "Come to This" many years ago on Conan. Loved them ever since,

[alffarr]

Haha, wow, same here!

[ninibaby91]

Isn't that guy Luke in Empire of the sun now! Love them!

[Eqz82]

hmmm...odd...

[PlasticMakesPerfect]

Luke is still hot anyway. ;]

[chico3076]

stupid video great song i love luke

[brollytrolly]

Luke is so young and skinny!

[th3ub3r]

so diffrent, unique, weird, strange and new i love it!!

[coolfrog28]

starting to get big here in the uk now too

[katiusmaximus]

you know they might not have been the ones to plan the video clip, so they may not have had a huge say in what happened. just adding a different perspective.

[ironcountry]

not everyone is one drugs... alternatively some people have imagination

[pete7356]

I just saw these guys for the first time on mtv,they are brilliant

[brookuss1993]

raagee lol

look at the song Walking on a dream

[kimiso159]

Best song ever

[DJTommyDaniels]

LOVE IT!! Song and video... you sexy boys.

[shanniiiiiii]

i think it's brilliant... it makes me love the song even more

[roflcakez]

Well, at least if they were on drugs they would have an excuse.

If there not on drugs something is seriously wrong with them to be doing this in a film clip

[DJTommyDaniels]

Dammit live a little.

[carmenismin]

people dont have to be on drugs to have awesome ideas. its some sausages on a hat. get a grip you judgmental lameface.

[calfos6]

WTF??? how fuck up on drugs must you be to come up with this film clip?

[orangecat7]

does anyone know what year this came out?

[coloredarrows]

1998, off the "lovers" album.

[kmcbeath]

pretty sure its off the miniskirt ep(2000), jees man wiki your facts before you post that.. shitdarn

[ManbearpigIsOutThere]

Wicked song, wicked band.

Why would anyone give a shit whether Luke's Christian or not? Just enjoy him and his music ;)

[GreenyMcFleetwood]

Well fuck it they are still awesome, the first time i heard Good Dancers i thought George Harrison was back from the Dead!!!

[GreenyMcFleetwood]

how are these guys a christian band?

[kendoka666]

exactly luke likes to tell everyone he is a christian etc but yet the band portrays nothing that is christian or god fearing

[wjat89]

dont know if he was a christian at this point

[savestheda7]

jesus his interviews are cuckoo bananas!

[bov1984]

Met these in newcatle uni when the cribs and the delays before were supporting them was like 20 people in the room really amazing show, got luuks autograph wrote a proper mad message saying "brother it's better to be a living dog than a dead lion, god is with you always love luuk" lol the crazy cat, top bloke though.

[richo12345678]

is luke steele part japanese or something. he looks it, especially with those glasses.

[obsession2192]

he's half new zealand...that may make a difference

[kendoka666]

luke you are not of god you are a liar and will have to account for all your lies a real christian wouldnt use the words fuck in theire songs and a real christian wouldnt abuse alcohol and cocaine and cigarettes you just try to play the christian card for your own gain you are a stupid fuckhead and i dont like you at all

[dogflogger77]

and fuck you u hard arse god freak

[kendoka666]

dogflogger77 you are awesome hahahahaha is that you franko by any chance

[obsession2192]

ummm....I am pretty sure this song is before he became an alcoholic and went through the dark stage

but if it was after then born again christians still do swear but they ask for forgiveness down the track....everyone sins

luv luke (and no im not a christian) wanna marry him lol

[kendoka666]

i know luke and malcolm (mal more than luke) really well dude luke is a fake christian he talks the talk but doesnt walk the walk like most so called christians i hear the tour stories etc mate im not blind on this topic luke is faker than a set of hollywood tits

[obsession2192]

i'm not a dude i'm a chick lol

yeah luke and malcolm used to live near me in perth

and my mates father used to manage them

wat would the point be of luke faking christian...it can't be a popularity stunt coz he would actually LOSE fans by being a christian

and he based heaps of his lyrics around god

[kendoka666]

ok chicky what he sings about is god yeah but his actions are not of god im not a christian but i know a hypocrit when i see one

[obsession2192]

hmmm ok....so u said u semi know him...wat does he do?

lol i have like an obsession with him :)

[kendoka666]

he writes crap songs lol

[obsession2192]

:O no he doesn't -_-

i love his songs....except i hateeeee this one

but seriously....wats he like....wats malcolm like?

[kendoka666]

mal is funny i went to school wif him he is up front and hides nothingfrom what he told me there may not be a sleepys anymore but who knows lol

[obsession2192]

are mal and luke tight? lol

NOOOO they can't be....i thought they were recording another album?

[kendoka666]

they probably are recording again last i heard mal was playing for the exploders and was working on his solo project from the skies and i dont think they are tight

[obsession2192]

:( well that's depressing.....y do all the band memebers keep changing....he's gone through like 10 ppl lol

[kendoka666]

the actuall band is mal and luke every 1 else was just session musos etc

[obsession2192]

learn something new everyday then....well they better keep going! i want to hear more music from them!!

[murielglass]

bahh!! take that back you two! i love this one and all the other songs :)

[murielglass]

what do you mean, his actions are not of god? is he a christian? cause a lot of people misunderstand what it means to be a christian; i'm curious what you mean by that.

[murielglass]

oh i see, i read all the comments now.. mm.. christians are no saints. the fact that he fucks up like everyone else does not mean he's a faker and a hypocrite. i am a christian :) notice i can use the F word. i smoke and drink, trying to quit both, can't do it alone though, and there's a process to it, it's not a magical thing; it's actually quite real and slow. i don't think you can judge anyone :) that's all.

[anime2192]

yeh I am technically christian...but i don't want to say im religious it seems like a dirty word...its better to have a relationship wuith God :)

[murielglass]

i agree with that. religiousness is often given more importance than spirituality; it should be the other way around. i'm curious, who're you? :) cause those two were talking about someone in sleepy jackson, and i butted in, and now you're replying, and it makes me wonder if you're the one they were talking about?

[anime2192]

:P well i can tell y ur curious...but no i'm not luke :P

i do want to marry him though haha or at least meet him :)

The truth behind the story is...I am obsession2192

notice how the 2192 is the same at the end of our names :)

I have 2 accounts coz ones for watching anime and the other is just general

I do live in the same city they come form though :)

[murielglass]

shoulda looked closer at your name :) i see, hahah. well, good to have that cleared up :) i was getting excited.

[anime2192]

haha omg i would be soooo excited if it was ay :)

r u christian?

[murielglass]

yes, yes i am. not in your typical sense of christian ..i don't go around trying to convert people and i don't automatically do things if someone with 'religious' authority tells me to.. but i am :) after years of atheism, god finally got me! hahah.

you said you're from the same town the sleepys are.. what town is that? i was in aussie land a couple of years ago, just around the sydney area.. penrith, leura, blaxland mmm, katoomba. it's so beautiful there :) is that anywhere near you?

[anime2192]

me too :P

Perth is muchhhh nicer then sydney

sydney is apparantly horrible in soem parts and really pretty in others

Just get out a map of Australia and find Perth :)

It's on the west coast of aus....while sydney is on the east coast

It's beautiful here and my auntie who is a flight attendant said that Perth people are the prettiest :D

oh about the christian thing...i am exactly like u...i try to keep my relationship with God a tad more spiritual then religious

[ChildOfMoth]

You assume that because he believes in/sings about God that he is a Christian? Why?

[anime2192]

he said that he was christian...i dunno if this was a reply to me or not but if it wasnt then just ignore me :P

[ChildOfMoth]

Christianity, in its true sense, is not limited to a belief in Jesus Christ or the Abrahamic God. I am a Christian, but I do not believe Jesus Christ was a real man. Nor do I believe the Bible is historical in any way.

[anime2192]

:S ur too smart for me

lol

[GreenyMcFleetwood]

how does that work, this coming from an agnostic

[VacuumBoots81]

Yes, I'm curious how that works? Do you mean you are a Christian by the measure of your morals? Cause you don't have to be a Christian, to have good, strong morals. Also, Christian in its true sense does mean Christ fearing. Otherwise the root word in the name would not be Christ. I'm not critiquing you, I just don't understand your logic.

[ChildOfMoth]

I struggled with the idea of Jesus being a real man. I reconciled this by believing in Christ on an allegorical level, instead of taking him as a historically factual being. He means more to me if I regard him as something beyond 'flesh' (thus making him truly eternal). After reading the Gnostic Gospels and Comparitive Christian Mythologies, I came to a place where I could believe in the way that makes most sense to me. You have every right to question me Vacuum, no need to explain yourself.

[ChildOfMoth]

Why would he lose fans? It seems to me that Literal Christianism thrives on the idea of constantly being persecuted. It's not that diverse, really. He would probably gain a huge fan base if he admitted that his band was a Christian rock band.

[anime2192]

well a lot of people that like music aqre against religion so that's y i was thinking it would probs make him lose fans and not gain fans and hence my belief that he is ACTUALLY christian and not just pretending

[ChildOfMoth]

Take a look at Hillsong. As horrible as it is, it is a ministry centred around music. Mr. Steele could easily find a niche in such a place... though I'm thankful he doesn't. I don't think that the majority of music lovers are anti-religionus/spiritual.

However, I tend to avoid music affiliated with organizations like Hillsong, because their messages and sound are rather... dull.

[anime2192]

mm true

but people that like this type of music...anyway

i rckn the messages are good but the sound is very dull...i.e hillsong

most of my songs are not 'religious'

it just seems to be coincedence that there better except for this rare exception...the sleepy jackson :)

[YarLlama]

This song has me charmed- it also really shows how far The Sleepy Jackson have come.

[missia111]

These guys are from Perth Western Australia- the most isolated and still connected place in the world...

[BohoAndy]

Yes missia111, the Sleepy Jackson are from the city I live in :)

[obsession2192]

u and i live in the same place then :)

I live in claremont wooootttt

[obsession2192]

yep....i'm from perth :)

i know its the most isolated but wat do u mean by connected?

[wrecker01]

i lol at the man at

the back playing with that cone

[10Simz]

sleepy jackson rok ma world

[oneteaspoon469]

this song is old but still a classic from luke and his gang.

[MaryJane1974]

I loved this!

[Boh3mianAndy]

Amazing song.

[boils]

tune indeed

[VampireRacecourse]

mm luke, cant wait to see him at big day out in a few weeks. *drools*

[stoplying]

Good song.

[omglazergunzpewpew]

aw look at luke again..he's changed ALOT!

[elhefedude]

I cant believe this is up! this is soo old! and they are still amazing.. I wonder if there is one for caffeine in the morning sun!?

[delsol94]

How old is this video?some guy at my job told me to look for this guys on you tube and I think they are cool.
