[charlierp]

"It's better to die on your feet than live on your knees": Love it.

[Havencheese]

Beatbox stole this for their intro on ABC.

[nzoz1983]

i thought that rob hirst made the beatbox intro ... you can see him drumming at the beginning and from memory, none of the theme song sounds like this track....

[GMHGTO]

Where the F did Peter Garrett get the idea to dance like that

[INSPARTAWETRUST]

[skullfyre7]

[PeacockProduction]

[motomartin]

He'll be taken really seriously in the political world - lol

[LUVDAEIGHTIES]

Excellent it makes you so proud to be an Aussie!!

[kenaik]

robs solo makes this a true classic

[SexyToshi]

thats our environment minister right there. I wish he dances when he comments on the news just for laughs

[Givinloveabadname]

Go Peter!!!

[Nitrochargersman]

nice dacing there peter

[troye2407]

Peter Garrett...SELLOUT to CORPORATE interests!! Go home to your nazi sponsors mate. Still a good song.

[theunderated]

Malcom Fraser (the ex ozy prime minister who is represented as an arab benieth the land of corporate gains sign)is now the champian of the worlds oppressed. Peter Garret is now approving pulp mills in tassie and the dredging of port phillip bay to increase corporate profits.... A complete polarity shift. Still, an excellent song by a very talented band.

[Givinloveabadname]

Wish he'd dance like that during a parliament sitting....may be we could get Doc Neeson as the Treasurer LMAO!!!

[jo2518]

Miss the oils. Give up politics peter, come back

[ozzieoutlaw]

[MIGUELSAGITTA]

ese cantante parece de the comunnars

[macruff]

Yes Minister!

[dreamsofdragonsfire]

hey reminds me of my epeleptic cuzan when he dances, or of my old girlfriends dad when he was walking hoe from the pub

[monkeyfist1300]

I like this Peter Garrett. I don't like the new one...

BTW, how f*ckin' good is Rob Hirst? He did on a 5 piece what most others couldn't do on a 10!

[joshpisani]

it was a short & jokular conversation

lol dances like a fish on land

[jamesfr0mNZ]

LOL@DANCE.

[PhantomRandom]

shut up! he's my inspiration! :P

[shonkyhonky]

PM Pete Garrett - but he has to work with a party rather than a band - could be difficult...

[shorn70]

i was 12 0r 13 and it blew my mind too

[ozphil]

Mate you just keep finding these jems. I havent seen this video in over 20 years. Dont you just love watching Peter spaz out. You did a great job mixing this extended version...brilliant

[nzoz1983]

Thanx mate... I remember seeing this on tele when I was about 9 years old and it blew my mind.

[bcnu62]

this version is slightly different than the one i'm very familiar with, especially the drum solo section. not the music but the video. is this from the australian 20,000 watt rsl release (?)

[nzoz1983]

It is, but I've extended the video to fit with the length of the song on the album - this is not the single version.
