[inktable]

yes, 90's australia. you can't understand how much this sounds like australia unless you were born and raised here.

[orcman2]

@inktable so true!

[MattseyBruv]

yeah for Australia

[jagnic]

This song has the best lyrics. It reminds me of growing up in Australia.

[FREAKspyder]

i miss the 90's.

the music these days sound like crap.

[staggaz32]

Fuckin A. Especially when it seems that, according to the radio, the best Australia can offer is Jessica Mauboy

[marcarse321]

[wobblyboost]

Bernie was my best mate in grade 4 :)

[StabSimone]

Maaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa­aad (Y)

[cornwallgeezer]

Brilliant song from Cornwall UK.

Awesome band.

[Tomspeak93]

my dads really good mates with the drummer :D

[Cem0305]

It's about his mum rockin off to work...Very simple, moving song.

[hellomrmojo85]

Umm... You are wrong... It is actually a song written from his partner's point of view, and tells a story about the difficulty of a love restricted by time and separation over distance.

We know this from the lines

"My Happiness

Slowly creeping back now you're at home.

If it ever starts sinking in

Must be when pack up and go"

His partner's happiness is slowly coming back as she is able to spend more time with him. However whenever she begins to feel happy he is back, he has to leave again to tour

[HorseLovin27]

you must be niave to think the song's about a slinky!!

The slinky is just a symbol in the clip!!

[HorseLovin27]

the clip is about the relationship between boy and slinky! Boy leaves slinky on train, he misses his slinky, wondering if he'll see it again. Slinky misses boy and makes his way home. Boy gets slinky back and so he's happy!

[HorseLovin27]

The song is about someone or something you love being away from you over a period of time, but when they come back into your life, you're happiness comes back!

[SunCaseyMoon]

I love this song.

It's beautiful, but it's about a slinky? :D

[shininglitewithin]

Slowly creeping back

[iwaspm]

happy birthday wendy1

[RibbonMate1]

Happy Birthday Jason Love Mummy

[Jdiggity101]

Everyone loves a slinky,

you gotta get a slinky,

Slinky, slinky,

GO SLINKY GO!!

[doug280976]

[budgelil]

i love this song...def one of my favourites!

[SurfTheTubeCOM]

IMO, Rock 'died' at the turn of the millennium, as corporate greed took over and cookie-cutter faux-rock 'bands' flooded the airwaves.

Bands like this, Our Lady Peace (Canada) and Red Hot Chili Peppers (US), Metallica (US) are becoming the exception rather the norm - unforetunately.

Party-on Wayne! Bring on the re-vival!!

[fmx88torana]

i know wat u mean.. whos heard of a band in top 10 nowadays.. im from australia n top ten is always just garbage.. dont even watch it anymore

[jackosmithy]

Yeah sadly these guys didnt make a big mark in the American music industry saying that you call that crap the American Music industry overtaken buy pop songs and rap with over synthed voices has taken the character out of music, this rock/ alt rock is the best and shows the best of rock or alt rock saying that there are some great bands still in the American music industry but the alternative rock bands of the 90's are fading sadly :( Powderfinger are a true example of alt rock

[LisaMGrant]

fucking amazing

[DisturbedbyDeth356]

Ace video.

[johnnycongas]

I am from the UK - but I am coming to live in Brisbane soon - and I can't bloody wait!

[MadSpazClub]

From the Odyssey Number Five album My Happiness by Powderfinger was the 2001 ARIA Awards, Single Of The Year.

[VanCityKyle]

Oh dude i remember hearing this in Art Class in grade 12 and i didnt like the tune the first few times hearing it but it grew on me and whenever i listen to this song i remember being in high school... wow sends a shiver down my spine to remember those junkie slacker dayz..... ive got tears!

[magickat1]

i have to play it on the glockinspiel or w.e in music class baha

[VanCityKyle]

yeah i hated this song sooooo much for sooo long!! now i love it!!

[lockyfan]

I love how the slinkee gothome. how sweet. lol

[Tinpot1]

Cottesloe beach Perth. This is it.

Fancy a drink at the Obi?

[GazzaTheChook]

actually it's from Brisbane.. the Queensland Rail logo is clearly shown at top center screen at 0:11 and at 0:39 it says 'Roma St' highly likley that it was Partially (atleast) shot in Brisbane...

[MadSpazClub]

It was entirely shot in Brisbane. The club they go into is in The Valley. All those red terracotta rooves, classic Brisbane. I think Tinpot1 means the song brings back fond memories of good times he had on Cottesloe beach..

The video was created by Fifty Fifty Films, who created 17 Powderfinger music videos. Directed by Chris Applebaum, produced by Keeley Gould and edited by Jeff Selis. The Courier Mail reported that following the music video's release, slinky sales increased dramatically.

[ryanclayts]

i love jess i think shes a babe. this songs cute. hey everyone jess is a babe

[jo140477]

@barretsalegend the name actually came from a neil young song called powderfinger if you search powderfinger the song comes up!! Powderfinger ROCKS :)

[roopolly]

aw.... I'd be so happy if I lost my slinky and it came back. Makes me sad.

[chingChangChoo]

Damn good aussie band eh?

[barretsalegend]

my friend from Australia told me about this band.

is the name meant 2 mean cocaine?

xD

[t00117598]

i think its a reference to a neil young song of the same name.

[barretsalegend]

thank you. :D

[keeorah]

reminds me of when i was little living in auz with my dad...

[helliselson]

Brings back some amazing memories from my travels around oz.

[PR0GRAMMING]

Man, this song brings back memories; some good, some bad, but it brings them all back.

[mrharrison0]

This song is our date song!!

[ChiaraLovesPacman]

the one thing about Powderfinger is that i can never think of a genre they fit into. I think they should get their own genre just for them :]

[auradin211]

Alternative.

[littlewingsigh]

Ahh, Brilliant. Says it all. Fresh and clean.

[princesswoggi]

shhh last comment!! this songs been around forever and its one of a kind! we love it

[samjamwil]

i can smell brissie no matter how far

[attacker78]

AC/DC and powderfinger r the best aussie bands, silverchair can eat their heart out

[attacker78]

i like the mix of the acoustic and electric guitar

[ultimateleoftw]

i want to buy a slinky now lol

[enzytebob]

Oh yes, the Aussies rule. This is my feel-good song when I'm sad.

[jolonar]

[DonakRV]

Gottabe one of the greatest Aussie rock bands

[hellrisesinsideme]

[leonardoboy2]

Dynamic track!

[karly3222]

love this band you aussie's have some good band's

[TheTrueAzn1337]

oh yeah and i think that this is the greatest video clip eer made. it may be just my opinion but whatever that's just me. ^_^ it was impossible to find a while back and now that you have posted this on here, you are officially a legend. i just wish it were possible to get it on dvd. (unless there is a dvd that i am not aware of) The best thing I like about powderfinger is that they are simple, honest to god alternative rock. they get straight to the point. i love it.

[jeffreyreginaldfield]

[sgk1967]

This is a kickass tune!

[xDarkcynx]

POWDWERFINGER ROCKS MY SOCKS!!!!!!!!!!!!

[metallicabreath1]

[WesternFrontMusic]

FYI - Powderfinger's new album "Dream Days at the Hotel Existence" is coming out in the USA on Nov 11th. Keep spreading the word about this wonderful rock band from Australia!

[pacersrule12184]

i am from the US and was introduced to powderfinger by a friend in Brisbane. This song rocks!!!

[oceanchange]

You can all try to own Powderfinger. But sorry chaps. They're from Brisbane, Australia !

[cryingmushroom47]

Powderfinger is a band of rich texture and mood, and it's a crime that most of the world (the US, especially) are largely unaware of their talents.

[nameian777]

Rest easy CyndiNoName, your slinky is being looked after by mine (RIP 1976) in slinky heaven.

[benjaminprior]

haha

[lovebuzz108]

I wish Americans were smart enough to appreciate this shit. Quality band.

[pronk89]

an aussie friend of mine told me about powderfinger...im hooked now :D

[pronk89]

oh yeh and im american...that's why i replied lol.

[lovebuzz108]

i am too, silly... American, that is. while i appreciate and enjoy the freedom of being born in the States, i also recognize that we're a nation of self absorbed, lazy idiots. not every single person, obviously. but far too many. i suppose those views of mine are why my significant other is foreign born, as are most of my close friends.

[scatts38]

thanks mate from taken your american blinkers off. one off the most underated bands .

[lovebuzz108]

same here, although mine was just a virtual pal. he sent me a bunch of cd's 4-5 years back, Powderfinger, TISM and a couple of other decent Aussie bands. The beauty of the internet, eh ?

[CyndiNoName]

i wish my slinky came back to me..

RIP slinky of 1992

[ajmage]

Go Powderfinger !!! Brisbane Rocks !!

[2strokes4ever]

QLD RAIL YEEEEEEEEEEEEW!

[liam21492]

[nadinecupcake]

[natg900]

Who here would agree that Bernard Fanning is one of the worlds greatests singer/songwriters? Parables for Wooden Ears, Internationalist, Odyssey Number Five, Vulture Street, Tea & Sympathy and Dream Days at the Hotel Existence.... you JUST CAN'T MISS!!! Brissy boyz OH YEAH! XD

[supaaaaaaaaaa]

mahirusthemaharaj is so wrong. powderfinger are aussie, they are not mainstream and they have not conformed! They are certainly not new either been rockin for ages. your stupidity makes me ANGRY. powderfinger are awesome

[OZJD]

supaaaaaaaaaa

Reading comprehension = epic fail

mahirusthemaharaj did not say Powderfinger were american or conformed. He said he hated American bands that are after agreeing with Vandemon01 comments about Powerderfinger being "earthy".

Try reading...idiots.......

[morts23]

[wake2wack]

[MEsoCRAZYxo]

[GateFail]

Slinkys are awesome. This proves it. Its a good thing the slinky got separated from powderfinger, for together they would have been unstoppable.
