[SATANWANJINA]

WOS A ROADIE 4 DIZ BAND!!...666...

[JohnMalcolm]

Now listen to "Come On Let's Go" by Richie Valens. Quite a lot of his ideas cropped up in Cockroaches songs.

STOP STOP STOP STOP STOP STOP STOPSTOPSTOPSTPSTOPSTOPSTOPSTO­PSOTPSTOPSTOPSTOP STOPSTOPSTOPSTOP

[nayphee]

BIG RED CAR!

[kiratsi]

Will someone please Baygon these creepy crawlies?

[TheGhosthorror]

problem is only 4 become wiggles not al lof the coackroaches

[mrsgritoli1]

@ 0.26 "take me home and fuck me boots"

[smfletcher1944]

Who would have guessed, the Wiggles started as a Ramones tribute band!

[TheGhosthorror]

@smfletcher1944

only 4 of them are wiggles

[sandradaga]

@TheGhosthorror

Two of them actually...(although other members are involved)

[sandradaga]

@smfletcher1944

Ramones Tribute band? Seriously? They played 50s/60s inspired pop.

[dLookAust]

Now ARIA winners :) but under a different guise :D

[CMQ01]

some of the ugliest girls i have ever seen

[DonVinnie]

@CMQ01 Some of them could be hot, but it's ruined by the 80's hair...

[ulujain]

@CMQ01 Your dad probably fucked one of them.

[AikenBruce]

@CMQ01 troll

[trin67]

i'm sorry

[Ilikeordontlikevideo]

Lame christian Wiggle rock!

[jaimadfella]

4 people must be gay

[jronson22]

WAKE UP JEFF

[fargone74]

I remember my sister was so disappointed when these guys changed their name to "The Wiggles"

[PureAmnesia0]

Jerff and Anthony are cute

[meshellaxl]

Go the Wiggles :))

[AussiePegasus01]

The best live band you will ever see !!!! Unparallelled in stage presence & performance !!! Pure magic !!!!!

[bubwitmaingay]

"Wake up Jeff!"... hahaha, they sound good with this, but children segment is the best market segment of all - and changing genre for children is better than teens who are confused of what they really like to listen to (the former is quite gullible to simple moves, vivid basic colors, catchy tunes and lyrics). If you're a businessman with a knack for music, try to imitate the Wiggles - and you'll be surprised.

[Kaffyboy]

The Beach Boys called...They want their clothes back!

[MonroeVanityLVR]

@Kaffyboy keep in mind this song was made in the 80's. when they made the video 3 years ago it's obvious they wanted the same 80's feel to it. do you know how big of an oxymoron this would be if they made this video with a song that's from the 80's while having the same type of music video and clothes as today's performers...? im only 14 and im open minded enough to think that. quit trolling -__-

[Kaffyboy]

@MonroeVanityLVR You're only a child, so therefore, you are stupid and have no clue! I was TWENTY when this song first came out and i loved it as much then as I do now. Do you even know what a "Beach Boy" is you little twit?! Go back to mummy and daddy and STOP being a rude, ignorant little person. Go away little one!

[MonroeVanityLVR]

@Kaffyboy i wasn't being mean to you... i have respect for adults and you didn't have to call me stupid. i get called enough names by my grandfather already because he has 'issues'. And yes, i DO know what 'BEACH BOY' is! they are one of my favorite old time bands >:O i like music from the 80's and such. and im not little, im in high school dude... according to you im just a child and the last time i checked you are not supposed to call children stupid >:/

[Kaffyboy]

@MonroeVanityLVR I know kids! I have a 10 year old daughter myself! I didn't like you saying I was trolling, and I still think kids today are basically stupid! Not you spacifically, but I've seen a LOT of dumb kids around. Take for instance that 14 year old idiot in Bali on drugs charges.

[MonroeVanityLVR]

@Kaffyboy Right! I mean I love my friends to death but they are SO stupid. i can't talk to them without having to explain EVERYTHING i say. One of them, when they write, they use 'their' instead of 'they're' or 'know' instead 'no' and a lot more stupid crap.... She doesn't pay attention in Comm. Arts class because she says it's a waste of her time. the other kids just have SUCH bad grammer and it makes me so mad! everybody is so caught up in drugs they don't know what it does to themselves

[pissandwind]

NZOZ not scared to load anything Aussie and 80's!!

[fatpizzaman]

I was in Year 11 at school the year this came out, and a few months after this was a hit some of my classmates recorded a cover of this song under the name "Blue Brick". I'm going to put it up on YouTube so keep a lookout for it. :)

[splintamike]

They were just nice wholesome guys even then - back when they were playing rock and roll for adults!

[GAVLOVESCHER]

omg it's the Wiggles ....I LOVE YOU BABY!

You're the 1! ;D <3<3<3<3<3

[jnlnlove85]

anthoney just got sexier as he got older even though he plays a part on the wiggles , he is a sexxxy man. my two year old has to watch the wiggles 50 plus times a day!

[joeysgirl776]

i still remember when they used to come to Roma... back when their manager had relatives out there :)

[LovingEdGein]

One of my all time favourite songs

[nikkolia]

The wiggles for those of us come of age!!!

[Butterflysugarbaby09]

I just met Anthony a couple hours ago, what a nice guy!!

[LIAIVI]

So im casualy watching this video that apeared in my recomendations, then BOOM its Jeff. I actually cried a bit inside with happiness!

[nomadiq]

Im pretty sure this video clip was filmed at the Revesby Workers Club. Also pretty sure some of those girls in the video were not yet 18 as well ;)

[TophAangSokkaKatara]

my dad is the drummer in this video 

[dansteak]

@TophAangSokkaKatara my mum says I was conceived at this concert to one of the band members... She couldn't narrow it down. We could be brothers. She is the one with the big frizzy hair.

[kingyjulie]

Hot potato hot potato.... wait what?

[genericgeorge]

I saw these guys Bankstown RSL (or was it Revesby?) I thought they were average then and they've worn worse with passing years

[kkennett1973]

Love how Anthony wore a blue shirt back then too....

[ThePoketroket]

I still remembering seeing them at the Brisbane Ekka, Tony USED to be cute LOL

[yeshisnameisbob]

Jeff on the Roland. FUK YEA

[lawriestorey]

@yeshisnameisbob have a good weekend!

[FOX9746]

Just kidding - I like this song but I cannot stand The Wiggles.

[C906070]

@FOX9746 Are you under 10 years of age?NO?

[FOX9746]

@C906070 Not me, my niece is.

[FOX9746]

@alygirly99 Greg is probably sleeping with Jeff - Wake up Jeff!

[sammirule]

The original line-up of the band was:

Paul Field - lead vocals (1979-91)

John Field - rhythm guitar, vocals (1979-91)

Anthony (Tony) Field - lead guitar, vocals (1979-91)

Jeff Fatt - keyboard

Paul Dunworth - bass guitar (1978-81)

[kirrobkat]

Loved the cockroaches, then loved the wiggles

[d33v3r]

Hot Potato Hot Potato

[IanGorton]

@treffielad That's Captain Feathersword?

[PinguFanz2]

@IanGorton No, well, originally back in '95, but then they found someone else to be CF.

[777elidude]

I saw Jeff Fatt on tv but just the name so i looked him up! I GOT THIS!!!!!!!!!!!

[AidalovesGir]

[AidalovesGir]

[billystar2000]

The girls look ugly back in the eighties lol!!!

[IanGorton]

@billystar2000 Nah just ugly fashion

[flamingviolets]

The sexy brother John is still touring with his own The John Field's Band. And he's still as gorgeous as ever.

[sydoz1956]

love the pants!!

[JasonF289]

lead singer is the manager of the wiggles and brother of blue wiggle.

[theemeraldskull]

Actually, Anthony "Wiggle" is the guitarist on the left, in the solid blue shirt. The lead singer is his brother Paul.

[theradsta]

@alygirly99 - Still at the stop sign :))

[BeakyRed]

And so the Wiggles began

[xn6]

these guys know how to write for any age group EQUALS TALENT

[ledaai]

of course jeff plays the keyboard.

[xDressagestaRx]

Lmao anthony and jeff -3

[desamator11]

WTF!!!!!!

[desamator11]

WTF!!! A......HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!­!!!!.....AHHHH..HAHAHAHAHAHAHA­!!!!

[ethantheman42]

U guys probably didn't know this but the guys that were in the band r the wiggles now that was them befor

[AussiePegasus01]

I've said it before,and I'll say it again,THE BEST LIVE PERFORMANCE BAND I've ever seen,Festival Hall in Melbourne late '80's.Still waiting to see another band whip the crowd into such a frenzy as these guys did.They even outshone the Hoodoo Gurus on the night !!

[bilster902]

yes that's right guy's as one of wiggles (jeff) as he also lived in my street before and after the start of the wiggles yes that's anthony blue wiggle lead singer yes jeff has same keyboards today and yes that also is the captain feathersword original in this film clip

[splitmore101]

Looks like the lead singer went to the David Lee-Roth school of crotch stuffing

[amythystdragon]

@splitmore101 that looks more like a natural stuffing.

[Attebaslie86]

Jeff is just groovin'...

[un0r1g1nal]

Haha 1:15 WAKE UP JEFF!

[ncardw09]

lol the lead singer is the original captain feathersword

[WizFizz]

I swear Jeff still plays that same keyboard in The Wiggles!

[toddgei]

I always remembered the cockroaches to be a bit of a cash in on Mental as Anything, if it wasnt for the wiggles She's the one would be notoriously remembered as a tragic one hit wonder.

[cacworth271ful]

i like the cockroaches they r awsome band & i like that song of there's she's the one

[The80swildchild]

I paid $20 to see these guys 1927 and Mental as anything play at same gig friken awesome

[MissD79]

and now its back to the Wiggley Waffles!

[cheekyoziechick]

I loved the Cockroaches. Still do. The music was so easy to dance and sing along to. xx

[SuperSkullz]

this is better than the wiggles

[fatpizzaman]

@SuperSkullz the wiggles are condesceding shit. This band is far, far better than them. They ought to have stuck to what they were doing.

[FormalDamage]

@fatpizzaman yeah but due to the wiggles they've made a shitload of money

[reality00000]

LMAO hahaha Can't believe these are the Wiggles.....Yeah wake up JEFF haha..

[stuartk319]

Anthony always cracks me up between 1:27 and 1:34 - what a Wiggle!! So do the women's hairstyles. Quality tune though, from all reports these guys could work ANY audience in the mid 80s.

[fatpizzaman]

@stuartk319 I don't think they'd have gone down well with Nick Cave's audiences. They hate happy music. ;-)

[stuartk319]

@fatpizzaman Yeah; you've got me a beauty there.

[StarskyAnimation]

That's what I call a wiggly party

[ThatEccentricguy]

@alygirly99 its just anthony and jefff

[danroxau]

cant believe Jeff was awake!

[mrsgritoli1]

some of the girls are wearing" TAKE ME HOME AND FUCK ME" boots

[trisolso09]

anthony and jeff look a lot diffrint from the wiggles

[tmacclurg1]

Greg was a nobody. I think those pants are too tight for children to be looking at.

[Holden308]

damn, I was 12 when this came out. Fuck me I miss being a kid.

[muzza29]

Saw em at the Sylvania hotel a few times...a great nite out every time!

[mickeydawson1]

80's Chicks ...miss them sooo much

[Mayortwilleger]

@manfromhongkong God yeah. No tatts or lowrider jeans revealing fat from too much maccas back in those days.

[nzoz1987]

@Mayortwilleger just bad hairstyles... :-(

[IanGorton]

@nzoz1987 Well it was the 80s

[MrAdamAlden]

AWE-SUM!

[skye131924]

Wake up jeff! lol

[bribrilolz]

so good... but better as the wiggles!! still love you Aussie guys.

[bigmaxy07]

Went on a harbour cruise in Sydney in 88 with these guys. It was fucking heaving on that boat. What a party. Massive.

[Geeeeoheffeff]

Haha love it! I heard they were a rock band from the '80's, but that sounds more like rock 'n' roll!

[SuperKaylicious]

theese are the wiggles !!!!!!!!1

[rboyes92]

John is not the Wiggles manager, Paul is.

[Kumungi]

you're right about Greg, saw the band perform on NYE in 1990 (? or 1991) at the Collector Tavern Parramatta and they actually got Greg up to the mike to sing a few of their songs.

Great night it was too.

[JoeB0y16]

@Kumungi I heard Greg was a roadie around that time, so it would be no wonder that occured !

[mrsgritoli1]

jeff was sleeping back then as well

[johnhall77]

Yes, and the lead singer lost his daughter and years later the Wiggles, i.e. Fields, formed as a more-or-less tribute to his niece. We all know the story. I believe the lead singer also appeared as Captain Feathersword in the Wiggles first video.

[lancejemmaharry]

if u want a fun night out in sydney then the guitarist in the red shirt is john field and has his own band in sydney these days. saw his band in balmain one night and puts on a great show. it's just called the john field band, also used to be a handy opening bowler from all reports.

[oztopgun]

With all the re-releases they could do one on this and it would win one of those poxy reality shows hands down

[bigdanish78]

Actually Anthony Reynolds and Jeff Fatt came from this group. Murray And Sam came from elsewhere.

[ReplicantMan]

Murray was in several bands in the 80s- Finger Guns and Transistor. He plays in Bang Shang a Lang when not performing with the Wiggles.

At this time in the 1980s, Greg (original yellow) was a teenager, and Sam (current yellow) was still a little kid....

[getreadytowiggle1991]

@bigdanish78 Anthony Reynolds?

[carpetcle]

Transistor, isn't that Dillon Lewis' Band.

[carpetcle]

It's the Wiggles....!!!!!!!

[skye131924]

wiggles + 1 :)

[novalee66]

Wake Up Jeff LOL!!!

[richardwadd]

I remember those type of chicks, no american wanna bes or obesity epidemic!

[ulujain]

Wake up Jeff, the fruit salad's yummy! Actually, theese guys put on a good live act. Saw them at the Ekka show in 86 or 87. They were great.

[ulujain]

That's "these guys".

[curetril]

Used to love this song when it came out.

[mrsgritoli1]

Very Sydney......Best thing they did was to become the wiggles and Jonathan Coleman to go into radio........Does anyone in Sydney know how to run a concert???? Maybe if they had Gudinski behind them they would have been more successful

[andy19678]

they used to share a house near a friend of mine in cabramatta

[KG84C]

Where's the bug powder dust?

[ozlotto76]

hilarious band name :-P. The members look suspiciously similar to the wiggles as well.

[egand112]

That is because two of the wiggles were in this band, Jeff and Anthony.

[ozlotto76]

hilarious band name :-P

[Ablethe7]

wow from singing guns in the air to fruit salade

[citcat1234]

they went to st leo's by dad'd school

lol

[quitecontrary23]

fruit salad, yummy yummy!!

[DMSpeedy]

This was actually the first song I ever liked and loved in my life when I was younger. I guess it's my all time favourite song. I really love listerning to it.

[tw25rw]

What a crap song and video.. It's like something from a b grade 80s teen film.

[neonjunglejumper]

i agree listen to it, so bubblegum........yuk !

[celestemoon]

Oh god, the shirts! New wave sort of missed us, didn't it. (Pseudo Echo doesn't count.)

[kakapomax]

jeffs not sleeping in that one...

[crossbj]

[bloggo1]

[mrsgritoli1]

HOW VERY SYDNEY.

NUKE THE JOINT

[KG84C]

Where's the bugpowder dust ?

[TylerFrench99]

wierd to see these guys as the people in the wiggles

[Rudinka]

I saw these guys at least once every couple of months on a Wednesday night at St. George Sailing Club. They were awesome. Bring back those days. What happened to all those great band venues???

[trezilstah]

my mum n dad went to see them on one of those RSL tours and they sang an interesting rendition of WAKE UP JEFF- F***K OFF JEFF! LMAO

[TheRealHappyEmo]

@trezilstah: pictures or it didn't happen

[trezilstah]

lol??

[crowdedenz87]

The year that i was born.

[PeteTheStud]

These guys always knew a great song= especially in the wiggles (and Im not kidding)- could some one PLEASE put up the clip for permanently single ? its really one of the best vocals he ever did.

[xxilovewethekingsxx]

oh-o.... my bad! I LOVE THIS SONG... grew up on it, only problem is that when i went to press play i accidentally rated it poor... DAMN!

[Kashmir1971]

Wake up Jeff!

[TW458]

[tarabunnies]

[dp200dp200dp200]

the girl with an orange shirt and gold chain at 2:15 looks like jessica simpson

[KaceKlosed]

Used to think this was the shit when I was in primary school - seems like they were already on to their target audience!

[dabble778]

They were smart. That target audience now have the kids who love The WIggles! :-0

[spiderfernandez]

Remember seeing the Cockroaches supporting The Hoodoo Gurus around this time.
