The Hot Grits - Headlights

[frickinbejesus]

Sponsored by Fonterra, was it?

Really, this song is mediocre at best, which seems to be the accepted norm in NZ.

This is Astonishly Extra Awesome and will be my "song of the year"; At least today.

Ahhhh-ha-haaaa! Such a clever idea!! I saw this wonderful band live at the Auckland Festival last night, having had their CD on repeat in my car for the last couple of months.

You could look at it as social commentary - if we aren't happy seeing kids immitate it, then we'd better examine our behavior; kids will imitate their parents, and way too many families in NZ perpetuate this cycle.

But you probably gotta guess Trygve and Barney just thought it was funny....

[elfirrepins]

This song is about getting drunk, taking drugs, and dancing mad. The night life of a regular city Joe and Jane.

TVNZ banned it because of the fact that they are portraying kids doing the same thing, but with child-based products such as milk and lollies.

The thing is, they think this will encourage kids to get drunk, take drugs, and dance mad. But the truth is, its already happening. It isn't encouraging anything. Its a good song. And people don't really find it offensive at all.

TVNZ must be a group of tree hugging hippies and closet greenies to have banned this video. There is nothing wrong with it and as a father i find it very funny and light heatred.......GROW UP TVNZ.........

A G R E E TVNZ is a Bunch of narrow minded idiots.

[therobba]

This video is disgusting, Im gonna tell youtube to ban it

[twocan13]

Absolute gold!!! Kebabs in the early hours!!

To The Internet,

I like The Hot Grits.

Barney, Shami and The Others are brilliant. Hot Grits, Peas, Lager on Global Toast and a side of Rotten Parsnips.

Cold Grit.

I love this more and more each time I watch it.

I wonder if TVNZ have seen the Spongebob movie where the sponge and the starfish get "drunk" on icecream...they'd probably air that, pussycocks.

[mentatDUKE]

Terrific video. I love the bar hopping and grabbing a bite at the wee hours of the morning while one of them is passed out. Good times...

[denisbetsi]

Sweet tune, I think this should totally be pitched to Got Milk people. I think they can turn this into pro milk commercial without a problem

[darobsta]

Banned by TVNZ... but does that actually mean anything?

Be honest TVNZ, even if you hadn't banned it, how much would you have played it anyway?

[kirstybuc]

I love it! What the hell are TVNZ on about?!

[sycophant01]

Anyone know what it was shot on? It looks great.

[vegasgrits]

Thanks! -Down Low Concept (the production team) wanted to shoot on film but at the last minute went with a RED hi-def cam. Amazing piece of kit.

[aircool00]

I Think it was Red One? Maybe, theres some 2k 120fps in there.

[metcervical]

[SexyCrazyBlondie]

[VAROrarotonga]
