Mental As Anything - Live It Up

[09hysteria]

great song the only downside is that their australian.

[ozepaul]

Being an Aussie shits all over being a pastey English cunt..

[09hysteria]

i don't think so twat face.

[tolchok89]

I really need to listen to more MAA. Sure, this might be their signature song, but I'm sure there's more to them than this.

[TheBaybee9]

my gampa says this is his song for me, I was really depressed as a kid and he never knew what was wrong with me. Still can't tell him but he said, "this song is from me to you" :)

[joelporter2009]

awesome !!!

[superemposed]

ill bet that blonde girl is fun to be with, does anyone know who she is?

[CripNYC]

Amazing song <3 it

[carntspell]

as cool as he might be I don`t expect to see Anthony Keidis kissing a dog in his next video. Magnificent. We saw it first here. Greedy is Australia`s Elivs. Or maybe I should be saying Elvis is Memphis`s Greedy....

[rhysdad]

i never knew Su Pollard played the drums for Mental as Anything!!

[azalea66]

Fuck Ithought that was Jonathon KING.

[greenfield1979]

Aussie Classic

[mooseylad]

Awesome such memories, this song is a timeless anthem of the 80's,

[Clawjaw]

[drlemoncobra]

[mlidis]

[XiongmaoSimba]

I have yet to see an 80s compilation with this song on it.

What a shame.

[Evolutionrunbackward]

Do u know Chris O'Doherty was also an artist and did all those graphics for Mambo in the 90's?

[ZoidsFanatic]

Yeah I saw him on Spick's and Speck's once.

[spookyhansu]

Let's libido

x)

[dankru]

After all these years this is still one of my favourite songs of all time

[chrispitch1]

This reminds me of a 1987 easter away with GKN caravan club when I was a kid!!!

[BOSTONBOYINIRELAND]

Thats not a knife. This is a knife.. Great song. I was sitting down dancing in my chair. What a great song.........

[LLOYDYY18]

omg im 17 and this song is a legendd!

[ESPsplit]

Its not James May...

[brett1187]

HAHAHA 0:34. James May from Top Gear???

[hugegtavicecityfan]

hahha lmfao

[azalea66]

Did you notice Charlie Nicholas on guitar,and Jonathon King on the drums?

[Valerie840]

Everytime i hear this song I think of the party scene from Crocodile Dundee :)

[DoctorWhoisit]

And that makes me think of Linda's dress! hmmm ;)

[paul45862]

This makes me wish i was partying with crocodile dundee. Great song.

[01triggerthehorse]

The blonde girl is a babe LOL

[grahamgregson]

yeah lolz i practise everynight when nobody is around thinkin of her! (H)

[MrArnyhs]

guys 80yrs old give him hes cane

[UKrulesOK1]

Fantastic song

Don't like to see a canine so carelessly waltzking around the diner, surely contravines several health and safety regulations

as to why the grown man is dancing with it at the end is open to debate too

on balance though, 9/10

[drage1862]

Yeh, I don't know why he's dancing with it either, It's a right old dog.

[jafoosy]

i love this song

[johnny10301968]

It got airplay in 1986 here in the states.

[zacaraua]

the song was written a couple of years before croc dundee i read somwehere......

[johnny10301968]

I think the song got airplay in england in 1984.But did'nt chart until 1986 with the release of croc.dundee.

[superemposed]

does anyone know who the blonde girl is?

[Mattyuk1]

It's 86

[HARVEYFERGIE]

What a song for remembering the 80's !

Does anybody know the year ? I'm thinking it's 87 or 88. Cheers.

[aussiemcduck]

Geil? Nicht alles aus 80s ist geil!!! Aber kitch? Ja bestimmt.

[ICEYGIRLSS]

WOW! you deserve to be in the 'Hall of Fame" congratulations.

[oldendorf999]

einfach nur geil

[frothymonster]

GREEEEEEEEEDYYYYYY!

[kenster26]

croc dundee forever

[Englishsea24]

Best australian band ever

[Fishmonkey123]

even inxs?

[Englishsea24]

Maybe

[Nightslasher]

What's all this talk of kiddie fidlers? None of this band were into that.

[stampman12]

Wonderful song! So uplifting!

[meerkatlibrarian]

3:18 wtf?? Is that a dog?

[JenInThe80s]

Wow What a fanastic song, i first heard of this song on the radio and it sounded brill. Love the guitar solo as well :)

[johngilly28]

cant believe somebody has given me a negative for calling a kiddy fiddler a cunt. i love this song as much as the next bloke but anybody who does that is a cunt, end of.

[foxy177]

I was 10 years old when I heard this tune, I love the 80s & this song thanks.

[johngilly28]

didn't know he was a kiddy fiddler??!! what a cunt of a bloke.

[StevieF8]

Was there a better song in the 80's? very much doubt it......

[PinkFloydFan74]

Yeah an 80's classic. I love, love LOVE THIS SONG!

[zacaraua]

best song of the 80's........

[83Brokenwings]

Ugh! That pervert Jonathan King! Ugh! Still, back then no one knew what a dirty sod he was,...great song though catchy as hell! I love the comedy aspect!

[ozphil]

What did he do to become a dirty sod?

[kiankelly]

Erm....that's David Twohill.

[83Brokenwings]

Really? Jeez my mistake then i really did think it was King. He could be his clone! poor Mr Twohill in that case, looks so much like King it's unreal!

[StevieF8]

Touching young boys up - got sent down for 7 years for it!

[ozphil]

You just never know!! I live here in the USA and didnt hear of this. Hope the crims made a point of taking care of his deviant ways in their own special deviant ways.

[kiankelly]

Did I miss something earlier in the comments about Jonathan King? What did he have to do with this record?

[niall13032007]

beautiful definetly the best thing to come from oz

[bbctimecommanders]

[RaitoYagamiFTW]

Omg, I heard this song in the morning in the car and I had it in my head all day. I'm glad I found it. :)

[tenderheart17]

hey, did they borrow Simon Townsend's dog, Woodrow, for the video? (RIP Woody xx)

[vpirates62]

Lol.. I never would've found such a treasure if it weren't for Crocodile Dundee.

[hunkydaboyz]

the girl in this clip was a dj called Spaced out Suzie , good sort from memory, when she did her gigs she would always lip synch the song with hand motions , Mentals saw her one night , asked her to be in the clip

[stoooby1]

I went along to the gig on Saturday night thay where fantasic it was good to hear them songs live again Thanks Mentals!!!

[azalea66]

[Alison1962]

My 2 girls are 25 and 22 Molly x

[kathy11081957]

gets better each time i hear it. don't make them like that anymore.

[Alison1962]

Agree with you Kathy and checked up it was 1987 OMG thought it was before then and deff a brill song brings back good memories and I agree Kathy they dont make them like that anymore

[kathy11081957]

todays music is,nt even music, just  lot of banging and screaming ha ha. god is it really that long ago 1987, makes me feel even older, ha ha. quite liked milli vanilli,s girl im going to miss you, what you think.

[Alison1962]

Yes it was really 1987 thought it was 70's I was 25 then and had my youngest who is now 22 hey telling my age now lol what we like eh. The music today aint the same maybe its because I am getting old lol

[kathy11081957]

my younget is 32, god makes me feel ancient, still young at heart though lol.

[Alison1962]

I know what you mean Kathy we can both feel ancient together lol Where you from by the way I am in Aberdeenshire in Scotland? x

[kathy11081957]

what a song, brings back memories

[marieandbaz]

great song

[ramoneschick1]

Way before my time, but an excellent song

[martin3801]

one of the greatest songs of all time....

[ESPsplit]

^yes^^

[StreetRat008]

Mentals are one of australia greatest bands. So how come they haven't been entered into the ARIA hall of fame yet

[martin3801]

forgive me for my lack of knowledge :) i can think of icicle works and howling bells only as great OZ bands. maybe the Minogue/ Donovan SAW crap didn't help matters for "global credibility". INXS did some good tunes. thats more than NZ though!

[flowersopen]

This song was always played at the end of school discos and made the atmosphere feel really magical xx

[MarkusGitarre]

oh Yessss! 5

[xeroker1985]

Mental as anything were hardly one hit wonders

[ledge888]

haha charlie nicolas, i wud defo bang the blonde bint too right up the shitter, always thought this was roxy music aswell, weird that haha

[MrPegasus483]

haha Charlie N i thought it was Spud frm Trainspotting on a good day!!

quality choon although the main singer sometimes looks a bit like a turkey thats just been winked at by bernard matthews lol

[renumeratedfrog]

Kinda sounds like Roxy Music, just without the musical flair. But the singer is as good as Brian Ferry.

[azalea66]

Fuck is that Charlie Nicholas?

[stupark808UK]

Where can i get a copy of this song i love it

[54321pigface]
