At last, Barnes finally addresses a topic he really understands... No more pretending to be some sort of working class hero, or a war verteran, or any of the other bandwagons he's tried to jump on. This is the song where he stands up and admits that all he really knows how to be is an unwashed, unshaven, fat slob of an alcoholic. Well done Jimmy, it took ya long enough.
@injaqenwetrust - ridiculous comment. Don Walker wrote Khe Sahn - all five of them wrote the songs and they all wrote about things they and their friends and relatives experienced, Ian Moss never went to Bow River but his brother did. Did Bruce Springsteen go to Vietnam? Did Jimmy Cliff?
@SIM2402 I checked yr profile. Your also in the Hitler/Obama smells a fart club. HAHA. Yeah, your agreeing that Jimmy's a fat slob of an alcoholic? HUHUHUHUHAHA. DICKHEAD. Stalin prob farted too - like it.
@injaqenwetrust This is an early (6th of many, many) Cold Chisel singles. Working class man came along later. Despite that fact, being a war vet, a working class man and at times unshaven, i identify with all Jimmy's songs. Maybe you should go and listen to the wallflowers (i checked your profile). Take the dick out of your ear while your at it.
@MsNowaynoway So while I am aware that people in the military are brainwashed, I didn't know until now that they also have their sense of humour removed... That was a joke you imbecile. And I'm not really sure what sort of commendations you think YOU'RE(note spelling) in line for because you checked a few people's profiles.... but I feel it is my civil duty to infrom you that you only get medals for insignificant actions in the military. This is the internet.
@MsNowaynoway 1. Jimmy the pretender did not write working class man, that was not even written by an aussie, 2. Claiming to be a war vet could mean anything, you are not mentioning that you were ever on the front line or anything like that. The status "war vet" does not make you a hero. 3. Working is the way in todays society we have been conditioned to survive, this does not make you special im sure we all do it, personally i would rather be out fishing myself, 4. Get the dick out of ya hand.
Is this cold chisels song about the Australian abbo, Thousands of them in northern Australia sitting on the beach drinking cheap wine with 3 day growth.
im 15 years old, and i hate how no one my age knows or likes cold chisel. this generation with music is just pathetic. bring back the favourites from YEARS AGO ! i love that music. no one appreciates this kind of music anymore. its sad.
I used to think the words were "cheap wine and teenage girls"... sorry Jimmy... it's a great song... and the video reminds me of various apartmets in St Kilda.. great!
this man may just be one of the most talented recording artists in australian history. (BEFORE ANYONE SAYS ... nah blooody X is better than Y i said ONE OF)
@PENNYWISE69696969 hey there. best thing i brought back from aussieland. COLD CHISEL CD. KHESAN AND CHEAP WINE RULE. VB RULES. MISS OZ. too bad American audiences didn't reecognize his talent
@PENNYWISE69696969 it doesn't matter we're Aussies this is our land he knows this is Australia so theres no need to be so politically correct all the time
Are you kidding? every guy should have a 3 day growth!!...without it they aren't at all appealing...I consider facial hair that length on most guys sexy!!...some chest hair is also sexy to me...its just a shame that it rarely goes sexy beyond those two things...sadly, the more sexy you are as a guy...it never quite changes the fact that the "asshole" personality is what most of them truly relate to...well ignorant Aussie guys anyway
Ironically enough, i became obsessed with this song a year ago when i would sit up to 4 am with a three day shave and a bottle of cheap wine from the Asian grocer.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
The lyrics dont really make sense. "once ...I drove a foreign car". In Australia, the *majority* of cars are foreign. Driving a foreign car, even in 1980, was and is the NORM. In the USA, on the other hand, most cars back in 1980 were American (and even today it's about 50/50). Obviously the lyrics were written by an American...
your an idiot, most people in the 80's drove holdens. he said he used to drive a foreign car because he was implying that he was better off. fuck you!
I just spend 6 months in Oz and loved it, what a great country, Jimmyy Barnes and Chesil where there all the way with me. Aussie Aussie Aussie OI OI OI!
As a girl.. Do you think its possible to sing this song at a gig without being laughed at.. Could change the words to.. cheap wine and a three day girl.. or cheap wine and cannibis...
opinions?
ideas?
This is for the london pub scene and I'm australian.
Girls can do this song too. Check out Tina Arena's cover on Volume 1 of Andrew Denton's "Musical Challenge". From memory, I think she sings "Cheap wine and the feeling goes"
fuck off ya wanker,if we wanted to hear an aic track we'd look one up.why the fuck do ppl post "this sucks,listen to somethin else" comments on youtube..yeah thanks scoop,we'll get right on it.
Once I smoked a dodgy cigar Drove a foreign car Baby that was years ago I left it all behind Had a friend, I heard she cryed In a bowl of noodles she was crucified Baby that was years ago I left her behind for my Cheap wine and a chiko roll Cheap wine and a chiko roll Come-on, come-on, come-on
Top band, top song, gr8 vid. Did you notice that when Jimmy goes to the room behind the venetian blinds there is another top aussie video on, being "Morning of the Earth" with the cock fight in bali. Good one boys
i find it really sad that theres so much American shit music getting made and well know around the world and Australian music isn't getting made over in the USA
haha....up until like 2 months agos i though it was say cheap wine and a three day roast or what PrincessKateDelonge said cheap wine and a three legged goat!
I worked on a cruise ship and I put East in the juke box in the crew bar.One night some Polish and Mexican people were having a party and the whole album got played and they were like,"what is this,it's fantastic".
this the one that did it for me...But it cuts off short.. nice work.
