  • correction...fuck. late 80's.

  • Whats with all the shirts tucked in? oh yea. 90's.

  • Special date-- 9-8-1945-- US invades Korea to start the Cold War?

  • dont forget applicate medicate etc.

  • Like this song? Check out Bob Dylan - Subterranean Homesick Blues. From March 1965. Before rap.

  • @browneyedflagirl7 Thanks, mate!

  • Great band .... Miss INXS..... This song still speaks volumes today in 2012.

  • Happy birthday, Michael....INXS isn't INXS without ya...

  • remember kids, dont hang yourself while jerking off, you may just end up dead. Wish he was still alive. great music

  • ATOMIC FATE

  • Comment removed

  • They are all so cute and young here. Wow. I don't like most of their stuff, but I like this one.

  • Another great song by these guys! There were so many

  • according to dead at your age, he lived 13, 829 days......is that a mistake?

  • this is an anthem!

  • very underrated band really

  • Lol, I love how that one guy, falls behind on the word card throw, and then he's like "screw it!" then throws multiple cards in the air.

  • Aaah, the saxomophone.

  • A one chord song basically. With one rhyme scheme. There can be beauty in simplicity. And contrasted with the complex idea of the song. Pretty cool

  • They left out candidate....

    H~

  • Does anyone know this song by heart? I feel like it would be hard to memorize and sing along too!

  • Use your head.

  • I wish music was still this way, you know, when people actually sang and played instruments. Now it's just a bunch of talentless retards pushing buttons in a studio and trying to rhyme.

  • @TerrenceThomson Spot on! I totally agree. have you noticed similar degradation of quality in the movies too? I mean generally speaking I like movies made in the era of 1980~2000 for the reason they took the time to make a work of art. Nowadays its all flashy and quick changine hypes without a real story that I can remember...

  • this is badass; you can't say that white people don't have rhythm after watching this video; special date in 1945. I believe that was the end of world war II, if my memory is correct

  • check out dylan's subterranean homesick blues... things in common... and history repeating. great videos the both of them

  • I wish I was old enough to see them in concert with Michael, I was a whole 7 days old when they played here 10th april 84

  • I went to see Inxs in concert three times, and their music is still hot, Micheal you are missed........

  • This song always takes me back to the time it came out. Man, hard to believe Michael's been dead for almost a decade and a half. What a loss. But what a musical legacy.

  • AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!

  • No dispute here. One of the best ever. I miss Michael so much.

  • bob dylan

  • Why is Tony Martin playin the sax?

  • they missed a lot of shit like ( i fornicate, i use colgate, i just ate, give me a break, sorry im late, i suffocate, ect.....

  • Comment removed

  • what an awesome vid! I've loved the lp for years, never checked this vid, serious take!

  • They've spelt Fascinate wrong in video! . . Oops! Just browsing through other INXS vids, had to be said this not one of their best, but live performances. . . Superb. Michael was the ultimate lead rock singer. . .he had it all.

  • INXS..... DANG I LOVE THESE GUYS.. GOOD MUSIC

  • me encanta la actitud de chepo, bacan, choro de M.H

  • This is just so... crap. I'll get burned because inevitably people who like something search for it on Youtube. But seriously...

  • @tomsega Well, that's not how you use inevitably. Did you mean generally? But yeah, if you don't like this, you're retarded.

  • @zacksyoutobe It's hyperbole, overstatement. People use language like that. If I don't like this I'm "retarded"? I guess a lot of critics must be retarded as, despite the meaningless MTV and Brit awards that pop rock bands often receive, most of their albums were negatively reviewed.

  • @tomsega It's wrong. And yes, this is good music. so stop trolling. here you go /watch?v=kffacxfA7G4&ob=av2e

  • It might be that I came here after subjecting myself to the audio torture of "Blood on the Dance Floor" but that was good. I happened to find a vinyl of this in my basement, def think Ill give this a go.

  • This sucks

  • This is a song?

  • Forgot how cool the song and video was.... even in 2011.

  • Thumbs up for the geek on the saxophone

  • @BlackSweatAndAidsMix Thanks for sharing this hun. :)

    Great tune, and I still miss Michael Hutchence.

  • That man is SEX ON A STICK :)

  • One of the greatest bands ever.

  • @real80smusic INXS RULE R.I.P. MICHEAL YOU WERE THE HEART AND SOUL AND SOUL OF INXS

  • that dude can hardly walk in those leather pants!

  • errr body started doing the card thing  since all the way back when bob Dylan did it cool its nice when they do stuff keeping videos classy but new.

  • I hope all you realize that this is based on Bob Dylan's video for Subterranean Homesick Blues.

  • @Rossonero072213 Sure do.

  • @Rossonero072213 So what? Who cares?

  • 0:59 OPTIMUS PRIME

  • what's the special date 9/8/45?

  • @sfcengineer August 9, 1945. The day the 2nd atomic bomb was dropped on Nagasaki, Japan, three days after Hiroshima. 

  • @boys2enough 9/8 would have been september. lolololololololol

  • @vannacut27 - INXS is from Australia. Their dates go DD/MM/YYYY.

  • Comment removed

  • Bob's been away from his wife for two days, so he went upstairs for a masternap.

  • How can you not love this video...

  • what papewaist

  • SAX SOLO

  • Epic..............

  • I hated this at first, started loving it more when my brother played it a million times xD

  • love love LOVE INXS.

  • They walk like there is something up wedged in their asshole?

  • One of the best INXS´s songs! The lyric is superb, the music is great, melodic and sublime! The video is awesome, peaceful and very nice!, In sum, I love INXS and all his songs! Greetings from Chile, to all INXS´s fans worldwide!

  • they left out masturbate

  • @gavism what about castrate?

  • @gavism ha ha! well spotted

  • masturbate, asphyxiate.....dead by eight, must be fate!?!?

    RIP Michael....you are a legend.

    Saw INXS in the eighties twice....best rock band ever!

  • @gavism Back in the dayz people used woman`s.

  • @gavism ...what about fornicate?

  • Actually Bob Dillion did something along these lines with one of his tunes. So that predates this as well as Prince. Mike's INXS is still the best.

  • um. i love this song:D

  • oh my god

  • Thanks my dear Alberto ,great vid :)

  • True Aussie 1st an for-most and that beaut of a tune is the essence of the the Aussie spirit - AIRES ROCK SUNSET IMPREGNATED INTO THE SOUL OF EVERY AUSSIE AND THERE YOU SEE A SINGLE BEEM OF THAT LIGHT - Michael Hutchence.

  • Desperate. Till I Said. Don't be a crate. Once you mate. The other place. That others date. Masturbate. Until you ache...

  • Saw them in 90 in Tucson, one of greatest shows I EVER have seen!!!!! Tragic to lose him, added so much to music scene!!!

  • They rip this from a Prince song.

  • Comment removed

  • @fantasykissass I'm prettty sure this predates anything prince you're on about.

  • @purecorkboy06 Ever hear Wonderful Ass by Prince? NO. then check it out.

  • designate your love as fate...

  • SAT PREP.

  • MASTURBATE

  • This video is great, i watched it while i sat an ate, my pizza off this paper plate.

  • JD Fortune is so sexy!!!!!!! I saw them live in Kamloops

  • sounds better than dylan

  • HA! they had to find all those words without google.

  • LMAO LAST SIGN "SAX SOLO"

  • Love this song, thanks for posting!! Just saw them a week ago and they are awesome!

  • @Melminn5 Hutchence is dead. They are no longer.

  • @TheQueenSabrin

    They will always be..........

  • That white guy was hilariously too slow.

  • @patchesdf They're all white.

  • @snowstormcan My bad. Meant to say the guy dressed in white. The white jacket guy, he's the slow one.

  • @patchesdf No he was not too slow. This was shot in one take and it was improvised, so it was perfect. That guy is Andrew Farriss, he wrote or co-wrote with Michael almost all of the INXS songs we fans listen too :)

  • go kenny g

  • Hallucinate, disagregate, try not to hate, love your mate, don´t suffocate on your own hate, like pretty kate has sex ornate, to liberate, fascinate, liberate, to liberate, liberate! Mediate, one of my favorite INXS songs, the solo saxo is great!

  • Michael Hutchence approves the new singer. Back off.

  • @planetgypsi From the grave? Neat trick:) I saw em live aeons ago....I'm glad they found a new singer. But without Michael, they're a different band.

  • I like this part..I always try to learn it..never have....lol. I love the 80's!

  • I just noticed at the :34 second mark he sings heavy weight, but the card is spelled "wait"  He also did it at 1:10 with the earths own wait. is it spelled differently in Australia

  • @MorrisseyOner no you goose. its just how he did it there.

  • @MorrisseyOner shit I missed that haha I'm Australian and we spell weight the same way you do. I think the whole "heavy wait" thing would have been deliberate though

  • I just noticed at the :34 second mark he sings heavy weight, but the card is spelled "wait"

  • Is there another video and song that is similar to this? I think I saw another one with the cue card named "violin solo" instead of "sax solo".

  • i bet this video cost them about 100 dollars, and its so good...

  • Um. Can you say adulterate, contaminate, desecrate...depreciate? Dirty birds, I hope they picked up those signs!!

  • Mike Hutchense is unsurpassed! I can't comment about the lead singer who followed him. Anyway MIke has been and will remain one of the great artists who have written music history!

  • Man this video blows me away, Bob Dylan did it good, but this one re-created it, Bob Dylan said it good back in '66 'if you ain't got nothing to say, don't say nothing at all'!!!!

    It's a damn shame dude killed himself on heroin... stupid shit....

  • @TheCrisco68 he didnt kill himself.

  • @TheCrisco68 Weird Al also did a version called "bob" check it out

  • Wow nice song i loved yeahhh

  • 32 People had to pick all those damn cards up

  • @navy4181 32 people would (in reality) have been just the crew etc, they had broken in to this yard in order to film this and were ready to be thrown out the whole time they shot...

  • @brara004 Yes, well they also disliked the song, so that's why they REALLY should pick all those damn cards up.

  • @navy4181 38

  • 38

  • asphyxiate

  • @orcadore ..... That's funny... no it's not really, but it is, and I feel bad for laughing at it

  • There were bombs in hiroshima AND nagasaki. talk about INXS for fuck's sake x

  • Just realised "fascinate" is spelt wrong! 1:50

  • I loved this video when I first saw it and it still rawks!!

    I especially dug the sax solo!!

    And btw both Hiroshima AND Nagasaki were bombed: The atomic bombs were called the 'Fat Boy' and 'Little Man' and the plane that dropped them was called the 'Enola Gay'

    Timothy

    :o)

  • I loved this video when I first saw it and it still rawks!!

    I especially dug the sax solo!!

    Timothy

    :o)

  • I'll take word cards over explosion-riddled, crane-camera using, photo-shopped, pseudo-dramatic, "look at me singing" music videos ANY day.

  • the bomb was thrown on hiroshima.....

    it surprises me, that not everybody knows this

  • @Yokita6669 (dropped)

  • @Yokita6669 It was Nagasaki that was bombed on Aug. 09, 1945.

  • the bomb was throughn on hiroshima.....

  • @Yokita6669 Nagasaki...

  • Can anyone give me the true signifigance of the special date they say in the video at 0:44?....There has to be a meaning behind it i tried to figure it out but couldn't....its 09/08/1945 if im not mistaken btw...

  • @achangedman5

    the bomb was thrown on hiroshima.....

    it surprises me, that not everybody knows this

  • Gooooooooooosh, Michael Hutchence looks so deliciously cool in the background. I could watch him all day!  Sigh!

  • Someone needs to remake this video I would love it!!!

  • Don't be a drag, just be a queen

    Whether you're broke or evergreen

    You're black, white, beige, chola descent

    You're Lebanese, you're orient

    Whether life's disabilities

    Left you outcast, bullied, or teased

    Rejoice and love yourself today

    'cause baby you were born this way

  • "... sax solo..." 2:00

  • Great band....awesome video. One of the best front-men of all time....ever play this in your vehicle full-blast driving to work and just get caught up in it singing the whole way without giving a sh#$ who is watching??? It's that f'n good.....

  • I love how the last card says "Sax solo"

  • I was 17 when this came out and thought they were ahead of their time. Then my dad told me that Bob Dylan did the whole 'poster board with a bunch of words on it' first. I miss INXS.

  • @yukariyam You are right about the 80's being the last great era of music BUT guess what? It's coming back. Just wait and see...

  • Bob Geldof is a prick

  • Bob Dylan did this first with Subterranean Homesick Blues many many years earlier.

  • Simply a great vid! The 80s were the last great wave of musical artists. Now its the music companies running most pop bands. More special effects and less thinking is better for them. Liberate, liberate, liberate.... and might I add, educate, investigate, and meditate on love, not hate. I sincerely hope this message changes our world.

  • i love this song so much, and always have, and always will! i love it how every word rhymes with mediate! x

  • EXTERMINATE

  • @ashleylynnjoan

    ASSASINATE.

  • awesome....

    

  • hah damn, he rhymes on the same word thru the whole song..

  • @SoulTarnished ... my what a pretty disposition you have .. & im so flattered you took the time to invent such a clever name .... ohhh you really hurt my feelings & im so scared. you sure told me! take your stalker family & fuck off you troll .. woman, man or child , whatever you are.

  • Orignial and perfect.....

  • God, I hate it that Micheal is gone...I'm still in total love with him! :(

  • micheal you rock  swan\ee

  • classic .. dylan inspired of course

  • @dyedinsoul I think that this is a bit more than inspired.

  • The new INXS SUCKS with the loser they have as the singer. .He'll NEVER be Michael Hutchence!!

  • @NinerPoolGirl Actually he is fantastic. I saw INXS live, and he was killing it. Yeah it may not be Hutchence, but dont hate him because of that...

  • @NinerPoolGirl He'll never be Michael Hutchence? Hey, good call.

  • @NinerPoolGirl Actually, the new singer is pretty good. Sure, he'll never be the original, but no one can.

  • @NinerPoolGirl oh move on! Thats the reason bands don't move on successfully because people like YOU do not support the band no matter what circumstances they are faced with! My own health took a bash when i was diagnosed with a tumour...part of me will never be the same again but I moved on and have done great things since! You should support the band. he new singer - of course he won't replace Mick but Mick will be looking down giving every member of the current set up his full support!

  • @MovieMad007 Your reasoning is greatly flawed. When the "Great singer" is dead the band is dead. It's like a great car with a fast engine. The 700 HP engine being Micheal Hutchence of INXS, Jim Morrison of The Doors, etc, etc. When the engine is dead the car (remaining band members) should be scrapped.

  • @MovieMad007 With a car you can find an exact match for the engine and replace it. Human beings are all one of a kind and can never be imitated nor replaced, hence why remaining band members always fail, band should be scrapped.
