New Zealand really does punch above its weight/population. I'm so proud that these little islands have produced some of the best musicians, sports people and innovators in the world.
Because some other idiot put it in the image gallery under Split Enz, I was busy listening to the song and didn't see this one slip through...thought about getting my whip out and flogging the screen, only two people have noticed, one being you, so figure the odds were still in my favour that it really does not detract from the song...the shorter reply...just because.
I have this terrific video in my head of my darling Fiance dancing to this in the kitchen while he was cooking dinner....one of my favorite memories! Thank you, Split Enz!!!!
You did a fantastic job MsMistressM for your first attempt, well done and a big thanks. Great song. What garbage we are all listening to with todays music compared to the 70's & 80's music. Great era for music and to grow up in : )
haha i remember when i was about 6 my dad showed this to me and was talking about how he used to dance to this :L and ever since then hes got me glued to this song...
@pepeLEpaegs I appreciate we all want different things from music and I'm all for evolution, but I would hate this particular song to be rehashed and especially given the dance mix treatment,; it's a very personal and evocative memory for me and it would totally destroy it. I like it just how it is. That said, your taste is obviously very different to mine but has to be pretty good if you like this.
This here is what music was and still is all about,when songs actually had meaning and spoke from the heart,rather than the pocket.Long live the 80`s!
@Bolinbabe Don't know if there's more to it but Eddie sang a couple Enz songs in a Neil Finn and friends concert called Seven World Collide. Apparently he's a fan.

Agree with all the comments.What a great band. The Finn brothers were the best! They put the oomph into pop.

The irony is that when they first showed up on Television on a programe called New Faces one of the judges said they will never amount to much.
Just goes to show real talent will out.
