[noteatpig2getha]

@hurchgoer ...the bloke singing it wrote it (Martin Plaza)

[LeeeeeoJ]

@noteatpig2getha he is my uncle :)

[MbootwoKcoonie]

This was recorded at an Old Folks home ! TRUE STORY

[clockwise3559]

love how the keyboard guy still does the movements on the bridge

[cobboGHS91]

why is there so many comments about asians getting bigger, WTF, this song is about being down and getting pissed, by having larger/ stonger drinks. a nip is 30 ml of spirit or a shot, so metaphoricaly if the "NIPS"are getting bigger, your getting pissed and you dont fucking care do you, nothing to do with giant japanese people.

[lithgowstorm]

@cobboGHS91 ...it's called an attempt at humour , I believe.There are also comments about nipples but I'm pretty sure that most people know what the song is about.

[johndory67]

@cobboGHS91 lmao

[BEATNIKCASS]

@cobboGHS91 .....no----its about a guy (the drummer) who sleeps with his dog and the doggy nips him a lot.....and he pretends the doggy is his lost love and the doggy loves lizards and aussie country music

[marklovesbeer]

its not my nips that are getting bigger love this song

moses

[KB4th]

I love this band and this song but this just shows how age takes away the blood lust, ie motivation!

Disappointing to see from a LEGENDARY band!

[lithgowstorm]

@KB4th ...I disagree - it's an alternate acoustic version - it's meant to be a redefinition of the song. I enjoy this version on a different level to the original recorded version. They're in their fifties now and the Docherty brothers (Reg and Pete) are no longer a part of the band...it's a natural progression to me.

[CartsCambodia]

See Mentals live in Vietnam on my channel

[vLizzziev]

I friggen love the mentals <3

[MexicanKola]

killer track

[gxd4b1]

the first song ever about the chinese taking steroids.

[MrThatsrightbaby]

geez, and i thought they were singing about the asian population explosion

[sillycomment]

@MrThatsrightbaby - you've just shown what a dumbass you are. The derogatory use of the word 'Nip' was aimed at the Japanese, not asian people in general. It's short for 'Nippon', dumbass. Nippon is the native term for Japan.

Furthermore, dumbass, Japan has a declining population growth, so even by you misinformed, dumbass logic, you're still wrong!

[SilverSwami]

i KNEW it! your nipples actually do get bigger as you grow older...

[mikepapafoxtrot]

This is a fabulous version of this song. Some things do get better with age.

[the69removalist]

@mikepapafoxtrot

this live version sounds a bit tame..prefer the more upbeat version, but never knock them they do rock

[TheClonesAustralia]

Go guys! Still sounding brilliant after all these years!

[sailtheseaofcheese]

this song is actually quite catchy

[123thebird]

it is there 1st ever song in 1979 still the best song by the greatest band ever

[grgoldner]

Aussies?, Besides Martin, who is left from the original lineup?

[lithgowstorm]

Martin and Greedy Smith (the alternate singer on the keyboards)

[hawleybeach]

I remember seeing "Mental as Anything" at the Cataract Gorge in Launceston about 25 years ago ... Martin Plaza's voice was unbelievable live

[naganokumas]

As one of the managers of the Japanese National Aussie Rules team, I can vouch for this.

We came 8th in the last International Cup.

In the next one, watch out.

[noteatpig2getha]

Don't you think an AFL or Aussie Rules video might have been a better place to say that ?

[noteatpig2getha]

Oh I see...

[naganokumas]

Thankyou.

And thanks heaps for posting this.

[naganokumas]

Yes.

[TheEggster70]

@noteatpig2getha - Pump Aussie Rules in any medium possible.

[Argartes]

Will be great to see them live this weekend. Great song.

[clockwise3559]
