FRENTE! - ACCIDENTLY KELLY STREET

[creativeengineer]

Happy song? Don't be so sure. Hear the lyrics again. A drug dealer's in Kelly Street, Ultimo, Sydney. Friends (the dealers) and Strangers (users) meet. "Sleeping in"... means an OD after a hit... "Crash on down like a house of cards". "Learned to give".. well known term getting people hooked with a free hit. "Sun and laughter"... being high as a kite. Life could be so sweet... the candyman was a well known term used for a drug dealer. Listen to it and see if I am right.

[TheSnoop2000]

Happiest song ever.

[KingOfSomeIsland]

This looks like it could be the opening to a spin off of Pee-Wees Playhouse

[AHylianWarrior]

To think Sonic the Hedgehog 8bit Jungle Zone acted as a sample for this song.

What a nice happy song. Im going to listen to this when I get up and make a coffee and just sitting at the table, waking up...what a great start to a good day. I've been looking for something to replace Queen as my source of good vibes, Frente may be it...a few years late but good music is timeless.

[btcdelta]

Just wonderful!!! Nothing wrong with a little optimism!!

[Nedmurgon1968]

cute



[TheJustgreg]

She's cute, but she dances like she's done a little poo in her pants.

[TheCannonofMohammed]

I love it. Years ago I thought it was stupid. Now? I love "stupid" music. It is called being happy.

[deepdroner]

@84heroes1 Now, Now - no need for rude language. Remember God Loves you (and so do I) :o)

[deepdroner]

God, I hated this song so much back when it was first released & hearing it again now makes me sick to my stomach - a true low point in the Australian Music scene....

[Chronamut]

this has to be the GAYEST song ever made hahaha..

[SuperChrissie23]

I remember this shitty song!! I had to endure this growing up cause my lil sis's name is Kelly

[zeridor]

Good song with a lame MTV.

[gzeuskraiste]

nah, still shitty.

[sliat1981]

[whitecarish]

Bob brown would like to use these lyrics for his communist movement.

[zaarpoool]

This song is just about the happiest song ever written and I just love it, even if its not cool.

[boxanova66]

such a bizarre video for such a great song...bizare in a fucked up way...

[AdmiralofU2]

Was this song intended for YOUNG children?

[fradaja]

acid

[MRNZ303]

Julia? 

[SnoreBear44]

I like almost every other song on this great "album" better, but this is catchy as hell.

[stephenpi]

I used to hate this song. It's amazing what nostalgia and being less of an uptight music snob can do.

[Micknmartee]

@stephenpi So true, stephenpi, so true!

[mworm2]

most whimsical song ever

[Xenooo2k]

i like the wind.. am i a pagan now :|

[awjb3]

she gets around like she's got a bf/husband who's a little, well... TOO well endowed...

[gxd4b1]

@awjb3 You'd still slip her one wouldnt you though.

[mgo26]

I still think The Late Show did the definitive version of this.



[AussieMusicVideos]

@mgo26 Yes they did! It's on YouTube somewhere!

[evilh0mer]

@AussieMusicVideos watch?v=-Hf3XvAVqNg

[TheRestlessMinds]

@AussieMusicVideos This is awesome, in America we only saw Labour Of Love, and of course Bizarre Love Triangle. I actually spoke to the guitarist on My Space, and accidentally deleted his message to me. I know they're not the Beatles, but I was so pissed. He just thanked me, & told me that Angie was doing something new. What I told him, was that some of my 1st non-rock chords on guitar, & rhythms, came through learning some of their songs. U know, I can't locate there album, but I miss it a lot.

[germicus]

@mgo26 looks to be that d-gen used the exact same set and constumes

[rminister1971]

@mgo26 you know what they say, imitation is the best form of flattery.

[lewkus]

what is the song that starts to play in the last two seconds of this clip? it's driving me nuts! i know exactly how it goes but there is no english words in the song so i have no idea what to search for!! aarrrgh

[AussieMusicVideos]

@lewkus The 1st one was "Gangsta" by Bell Bev DeVoe & the last one was "Sweet Lullaby" by Deep Forest.

[spaceleaf2]

Its just the 90's bro....lol



[zkxv]

Angie looks lovely here. This uplifting song was written by bass player Tim O'Connor.

[samestars42]

wow...........that's just bad!

[aleshah888]

wow this takes me back



[stitchgroover]

Always loved this song, always picks my mood up.

[Medwynsmum]

@stitchgroover I feel exactly the same way. Before ipods, I used to play the tape on my older brother's ancient Walkman when I was depressed. It still works! (The music, not the Walkman). Do you know 'Bizarre Love Triangle?' My favourite Frente lyrics of all time: "This is a love song, for John and Alicia's mother. This isn't easy, I might not write another."

[stitchgroover]

@Medwynsmum "Not given lightly" really is an incredible song. It's layers are explicitly simplistic, yet it adds up to something that is both subtle and powerful. From the 6/8 rhythm of the castanets (I think) to the acoustic guitar and Angie Harts dolll like voice singing of John and Alicia's mother, there's not a flaw to be found in the song.

If you asked me, I don't think I could pick a favourite Frente song, there are too many great ones to choose from!

[GuanoLad]

@Medwynsmum "Not Given Lightly" is a cover, it's originally by Kiwi singer/artist Chris Knox.

[withoutsnow07]

@Medwynsmum ahhh Bizarre Love Triangle was originally a New Order Song
