I bought this cassette in '87 after seeing the video and am STILL shocked that they never fully took off in the states. Choice tune and a truly great, if grossly underrated, band...
HAHHAHAAH that girl with the skeleton and gramaphone is my sister!!= i'm serious! I remember it was my favourite song because i was a young boy and loved explosions. GO SIS!!
great song and saw many gr8 giggs of bco in the last 20yrs. but can any body post great wall off the gorilla grip surf movie gripping stuff ? havnt seen it in donkeys and remember it started with Barton Lynch taking off at 12ft+ pipeline (the yr he won the world title )and a great wall in front of him as he pulled into a massive barrel with the song goin off behind
HAVING A BEER 'g', can't wait till next week, i'm getting up and singing a song with you blokes too, i wanna be rock star too. lol. see ya saturday mate. c.r
These guys were the most underrated band of their era by far. Still great to listen to after all these years. Fantastic songs all, great playin', great singing, infectious melody and grooves, and a nice dose of lyrical optimism too. If you are seeing this, well done fellas. Thanks for the music.
Completely agree. The music hasn't aged at all. Had a few beers with Dale Ryder the other day at a show he was doing (not many there) - great bloke who certainly hasn't lost his voice at age 54. Go BCO.
This song just gets better and better as the years roll by, great job on the editing too Greg.

I just don't understand why Boom Crash Opera were not as successful as INXS. They are fantastic musicians.

What is he saying. No matter how hard I listen, I haven't been able to pick up what is being said in the lyrics.

This song rocks.
