[KseniaNZ]

Wow, wish it was 1981, wouldn't have to fix my hair either when I woke up.

[TheAussieSlayer]

THE GUY WITH THE TATTS

[TheAussieSlayer]

THE DUDE KINDA REMINDS ME OF MY SELF FANTASTIC

[Roztuw]

The coolest Aussie chick ever, a regular feature at all Maori parties!

[zealman79]

$2.50 Tequila sunrises...$3 cocktails, awesome :-D

[mikes230]

Can we lay off the rude comments please?!

[jbooks888]

great song - great version by geyer

[lastniuean]

Still ROCKS

[daniel197530864]

3 people never hard the words "I Love You"

[TheGmgirl77]

Some tunes you listen to as a youngster manage to stay with you a life time. I was four yrs old and growing up in Sydney when this came out, and no matter how many times i might hear it, it still transports me straight back to that time and place, over 30 years later :-)

[Xcorgi]

WTF? Is that Screech from Saved By The Bell?

[drewey07]

this woman dances as badly as my mum dances

[hirdy6]

@drewey07 Bet your mum is a better driver!!!

[jasthamus]

@drewey07 and you would be what justin biebers number 1 fan and still using the same razor after 12 months

[The80swildchild]

The guy at 1:03 looks like Screch of saved by the bell

[bigmikeinoz]

Great singer but she's almost as ugly as Courtney Love.

[jordu1]

Miss, would you please shut up, stop singing, and serve me a drink already?!

[Tam77775]

She really hates this song.... She never wanted to sing it.....

[mrsgritoli1]

Is that Vin Cottoggio @ 1.05 ??

[jmbaulk]

@mrsgritoli1 hahahahahahahahaha classic !! no unfortunately not ... good likeness though.

[coldrockdaspot]

Timeless Pop music.

[Patutahora1]

Love her - has anyone got Renee's version of "Standing on Shaky Ground"

[zippadeedooooda]

The dude with the tatts without a top doesn't look out of place at all in a bar!! No... Not at all!!!

[nzoz1981]

@zippadeedooooda lol



[mrfrumpydotcom]

@zippadeedooooda Thats such a funny observation.!!! YOU GOTTA LIKE IT.!!!

[slambo70]

@zippadeedooooda Haha, and he is wasted as!

[datoobster75]

I haven't seen this vid since I was about 6!!! This is awesome!

I wish they could bring back the old days, what a bunch of crap they come out with these days................man!

[sexyrexysexy]

@datoobster75 Well said. Saw her again live last night. Fucking powerhouse still!!

[LU29ER]

GO RENEE!!

[Sylvester007nz]

BRO! I have not heard this song for years!!! Very cool!!!

[pinkdude911]

i love this clip and this song



[pinkdude911]

i love this clip and this song

[Shazzoir]

Another great Aussie track :) From the days when female singers actually had talent and used their voices instead of lurching about the place simulating sex. Yeah, I'm old.

[pinkdude911]

this is one of my favourite songs of renee

[T6CLUB]

Thanks for posting, I've been trying to figure out for the last week what this song was from the fragmentded lyrics in my head.

[jhigh2]

I remember lovin' everything about this a few seconds in first time.

And this - and 1981 -only sound better.

[stockcar4d]

man i thought she was a black chick...cool song...mum used to crank the 45 of this one up every friday lol

[ricky5538]

So this is what Lionel Messi was doing before playing for Argentina !  :-)

[Deeppack]

1:04... now that's handsome!

Love this song, one of my all time favs'1

[CH6P23]

@Deeppack

yeah , he 's a funny looking mutt

[sexyrexysexy]

Thanks for posting!!  The memories!! Love her!! Still kicks some serious arse!!! Saw her 6 months ago.. Still a brilliant vocalist. Even got to kiss her at the end!!

[POPPAVALIUMANDROPOV]

Whats with WMG blocking stuff in Aussie lingo "What a bunch of Wankers" Just seen i cant listen to Mental as Anything - To Many Times

[reefergladness]

fun song.. still sounds good

[toeic123]

Yes, it's Swan. He is a really nice bloke too! I served him in a couple of times in a shop I worked in during the 80's!! A real gent!!

[nzoz1981]

@toeic123 he hugged me and felt up my face when i was at Donnie Sutherland's boat cruise... just after I told him I uploaded the clip of him in Feather... just telling some of these guys that I'm 'nzoz' seems to interest them.

[stegatops]

They pay her for her facial expressions..............I like the way she looks at 0:10 and 0:58.

[filmhilde66]

Op dit liedje dansten wij in Duitsland ( Mesenich) de Family Dance en volgens mij nu nog steeds!

[nzoz1981]

@Tarrant1976 yes

[pinballKing012]

Who is the guy with the big nose ?

[mikes230]

the original is always best

[redimade]

good lord, i remember my dad banging on about this woman, he was totally in love with her, i think i can see why,,, ooh..thats a bit uncomfortable:)

[Bobbipens]

Have loved this song since the 80's! Renee is so good!

[BlueRibbonWinner]

Palm Springs hot pools, Helensville, Auckland, this song pumping out having a feed of Homestead, drinking coke from 1.5ltr glass bottles

[Kitkattx12]

omg had no idea this was a nz song? meean

[goblinking169]

na its an aussie song ma bro... :)

[nzoz1981]

hardly an aussie composition seeing as eddy grant wrote it.

[goblinking169]

then why do you have a Guyanan song in your australian and nz list????

[nzoz1981]

Because it was performed by an Australian singer and was a hit in Australia? Any other questions?

[furb393]

@nzoz1981 Yeh I got a question - Are we heading in the right direction for your loving and affection? I mean, is this going to be a brand new start? Is this the way to your heart?

[nzoz1981]

@furb393 Hmmmm...... give me a day or two to think up an answer... :-P

[goblinking169]

sorry i was wrong its a Guyanan composition but and aussie band

[splitenzfreak1980]

Good samba reggae beat and a classic pop hit from '81. Still makes me feel good.

[goblinking169]

the dude at 2:12 looks like one seedy dude man lmao

[goblinking169]

was it a case of putting the drug dealer in the vid for a laugh???

[nzoz1981]

lol

[Valoissss]

He sure does!! I wonder who he is?? There are some famous faces amongest those people

[yegenuis]

I think he hooks up with the Amish girl (left of screen 2:20 - 2:40)

[nzoz1981]

I think the Amish girl is hot and if he did, half his luck!

[goblinking169]

cool song

[mikes230]

eddy grant does a better job at this song

[donquixote2u]

well thats one opinion - others might differ :-)) I know who has the better voice.

[TheMedibankprivate]

she's got an awesome voice.

[mrsgritoli1]

oie vei Renee,vhat vhere you thinking

[tapupartforpres]

Cocaine is a hell of a drug.

[MsPhantom27]

OMG i met her today lol hope had no idea that she was this famous she seemed just like a your everyday person hope she get better soon and this

[oldbag699]

ty i love renee

[Valoissss]

Great song!!

[890589]

Swanee s trying to pick up lol

[diseym]

john "swannie" swan is this clip

[Tam77775]

You know she was blind drunk when she filmed this video..........

[poix1970]

the facial expression coming down the stair at the start kind of suggest that ;o)

[Houratsu]

That's a coincidence. I'm drunk when I'm commenting on this video.

[poix1970]

check out the guy at 1:04-ish. she didn't hang around long with him ;o)

[sammyw67]

yes he is rather hot, isnt he!!!!! heheeheh

[n599]

She used to babysit me as a little kid.Friend of my Mums.

[MaxPower30au]

love the way she comes down the stairs at the start its Great LOL

[ihiwehiwana]

woohoo love this song! disco baby! haha

[charzhu]

omgish all along if fort it was a guy singing this song, but damn she's got a mean voice, love this song..woohoo

[ozphil]

You did a great job putting this together NZOZ, Renee is the spitting image of my ex wife, eerie looking at them they could be twins. Is she still performing?

[nzoz1981]

Hello Phil... glad you're still enjoying my channels.

She is still performing - last I heard, she was doing the Countdown Spectacular (the Countdown revival show).

[ozphil]

Yep, still enjoying them all, I have all favoured and play all the time. . . Glad your still here . All the best Mate.

[tremmo90]

I never heard this song in the usa in the 80s... I was looking for aussie classics and this song came up. It's really a good song. Sounds like it has a soca/calypso beat to it..

[prosaint3]

CLASSIC!!

I remember this song at them OLD fundraiser Discos my old church used to turn up.

[ardiesken]

1.05 marouane fellaini:D

[nzoz1981]

what a spoiled life. starts off as Renee Geyer's drummer and is now a a world class footy player... at only 22!

[vinscay]

Im pretty sure Sigrid Thornton is in the video as well.

[girraboyzz]

cheers for that explanation, I thought it was part of the original clip and I wondered why they only used slow mo on my (handsome) uncle for that brief period hahahaha

[nzoz1981]

ha ha... glad to have cleared it up. if i spot your uncle in other clips, i'll make sure to put him on slow mo.

[girraboyzz]

gotta love the brief slow mo after she shakes his shoulders

[nzoz1981]

I did that because the original audio track on this video was a tad faster than the CD audio that I merged this clip with. In order to keep both video and CD audio in synch, I had to slow down some moments.

[girraboyzz]

the guy at 1:05 is my uncle, you got a problem with his greek features???

[890589]

1.05 is a funny guy..lol

[richardscutts]

ianni...yes I'm sure...Not too sure about you however:)

[ghostunderthebed]

marouane fellaini 1:03 lol! Everton 4 eva

[kingsefo]

fark 1 of the best songs to dance to haha !!

but man she has the meanest facials haha !

[890589]

shut the fuck up.., Swanee is trying to pick up you swines lol

[richardscutts]

so do I.

[richardscutts]

Sorry but I dont recognise her.

[nzoz1981]

Oh well.. she obviously recognised the camera more than the others at the bar. By the way, thanks for the additional info about your sister. Since reading your first comment, I felt a little affected by it. I really do hate herion.

[richardscutts]

Yeah she had heaps of friends in the music industry....She was a friend of Renee (so I guess thats why she's in the clip) and Marcia Hines. At about this time I was working for Sherbet. This clip was filmed at a bar in Kings Cross called Arthurs. Quite a hip place. Other noteables in the clip are Marcia Hunt, the black chick, who is the mother of Jade Jagger who is a cousin of ours. (Jade) ...hope this fills in a few pieces of the puzzle:)

[nzoz1981]

wow... cool story. You know who the girl in the yellow shirt and black tie? she's spunky!

[ianni57]

Marcia? Are you sure?

[oldbag699]

marcia hunt is not the mother of jade jagger

[richardscutts]

the chick sitting in front of swanee is my sister Candy...she died of a heroin overdose in 93...rest in peace babe...Rick

[nzoz1981]

So sorry to hear that! Do you know how she got in this video?

[890589]

whats Swanee doin in there ? lol

[nzoz1981]

trying to pick up!

[beaker808]

Well I love the song, but the video could quite possibly be one of the worst I've seen.

[nzoz1981]

I like the ending of the video where everybody is drinking it up at the bar... very Australian way of ending the week. It helps that I actually know a couple of people in the clip too.

Yeah, shit video, cool song, nice ending.

[beaker808]

Aussies and Kiwis know how to have a good time. Some of the friendliest and most genuine people on the planet. Funny that you know some people in the vid. Doesn't Renee have an amazing and unique voice?

[nzoz1981]

Yeah, we know how to be pleasant... :-P

I had gotten involved in the music business at some stages in my life, which is how I've gotten to know some of the people, even in this clip. Renee's voice is fantastic... she could have gotten so much more out of her career!

[korsion]

she looks like a transvestite

[parachuteclubbed]

Well, she sure doesn't sound like one, does she?

[MOONDAGUDDA]

takes one to know one

[korsion]

i guess you would know !

[dvscorp]

Well even is she was, I'd still ask her round for a coffee.

[primo2498]

Awesome Drinking Song!

[vi0lentnz]

1 of my fave drinky songs! lol

[890589]

Luv this song brings back good memories

[Deeppack]

I never knew this was an "Eddie Grant" cove. God bless him...

... love the song, so up lifting, and love Rene!

Thanks for the upload.

[mahoganybasswood]

Got to hand it to you nzoz1981. Excellent collection, and thanks for this post. Had this song on the tip of my tongue for months. Hey! 01:04...was that Gonzo from the muppet's?

[nzoz1981]

Thank you! I try my best!

Ha ha, last comment is cruel. Poor bastard might read it! :-D

[ozbob68]

Hey, wasn't "Gonzo" he the bass player in Noiseworks - watch "No Lies".

[fringert]

All I remember about renee geyer was that she got caught giving marc hunter a blow job!

[maoriforlif]

lip singkin is bad foah ur helf yuhh culd geta brainded damanage

[marysiap69]

I must admit I don't know any of her other songs

[nzoz1981]

Most of her work was cover material. I can't name many songs that were her originals and I've heard quite a bit of her stuff....

[marysiap69]

There was a bio program about her saying she hated this single and she didn't like how people would recognise her only with this song

[Jayman4175]

She cant lipsynch to save her life huh....

[nzoz1981]

it was a frustrating task trying to put the audio and video insync...

[marysiap69]

I heard she was really high maintenance to work with after the success of this single

[nzoz1981]

You mean, she required a lot of make-up?

[GeorgeGoGo]

Apparently she's a nightmare.

[meikalily]

renee geyers song is great, but i have never seen a bunch of uglier people all shoved into the one room! especially that last dude at the bar with the broken nose, he reminds me of one of the muppets or something

[Tly3437T]

you're spot on - renee ain't much to look at to begin with but then they go and grab a bunch of blokes from the centrelink queue to be extras

[nzoz1981]

lol

[nzoz1981]

Work For The Dole: sit at the bar and endure Renee Geyer molesting/ear biting... long term effects: your face being criticised on youtube in 25 years time.

[pokernuts]

it was the 80s, everyone looked weird

[sueholland22]

one of the best Aussie songs of the 80's for sure

[maorig]

Firstly this is a Eddy Grant song

Secondly renee geyer is from New Zealand

[maorig]

Correction Born In Melbourne..Lmaooo

But it is an eddy grant song

[HardstyleSouljas]

no shes australian look it up

[Rtoad24]

Myself and 4 other blokes were naming our favourite song that we love, but are too embarrassed to tell everyone. This was mine.

[meepala]

what were the other three?  heehee

[Rtoad24]

One was Annie's song..... I remember him singing it.... dunno bout the others

[meepala]

that's a cute story...

[rongonui08]

i love this song

[Bobbipens]

I love Renee, but here in the U.S. she never made it big. I did get to see her once Live.

[AustralianGuyyy]

I cant't believe how fortunate I was - I have been bewidered by this song for several years as to who sung this. To find out on Youtube - and to find she was an Aussie - and thanks to NZOZ yet again, wow! Good on ya mate! You keep the Aussie music spirit going.

[JediKeSula]

AustralianGuyy: Oh my god! me too!

[jordy39]

the majority of the best songs from the 80's were sung by aussies.

[Call1800POO]

Dear jordy., Is that so, do you mean in the whole world? or just your neck of the woods. . Are you excluding eye of the tiger? Every breath you take Thriller Beat-it Down Under by Men at Work All of these Australian musicians were frerquent guests at Arthur's on Victoria Street Kings Cross. . I lived at Rowena Place next door and thought quite highly of all them there local musicians except that I couldn'ever get to sleep. cheers.

[jordy39]

POO, i was in the moment when i wrote that comment 3 months ago. every song you just wrote is one of my favourites....cocaines a helluva drug.

[Call1800POO]

Dear jordy., Thanks for the comment. . Renee Geyer is great. . I was listening and then, notice the backgrond which I remembered from all those years ago. . My best friend was the cashier at that fashionable night club and it is the same time as that record. . Glynis. cheers.

[RonaldsonTippet]

Renee, she's such a saucy nancy!

[GoodMrDawes]

Love this song, She is an Aussie Legend!

[Toymit]

Does anybody know who sang the remake or dance version of this song,I think it came out in 1998 some time?...

[princelycharmer]

This is a remake. It's not the original. See my previous post.

[Toymit]

Yeah I saw that,what I meant was who released a song which sampled this song in 1998?..it was more of a dance or R&B/rap song.

[princelycharmer]

The Original was released by Eddy Grant on the album "Walking on Sunshine" in 1979. There is a Yoruba version titled "Wipe Mo Nfe E" which was a big hit in Nigeria where it was released. I can't get enough of this song (and most of Eddy Grant's music).

[AustralianGuyyy]

Yes, you reminded me of my Eddy Grant collection. I guess that's why I like this version. Don't get me wrong, I love Eddy, but this is one of the very few cover versions of a song I actually like. God point, my man.
