[iloveniggers1000]

@imaStonesFan how can anyone in their right mind be a stoned fan? they've never written anything that's been even halfway good. justin bieber is better than this filth, and i can't think of any insult worse than that.

[MultiSnotface]

@iloveniggers1000 you are really lacking some appreciation of the pioneers of great rock concerts, you need to play in a band to understand, i feel you have some underlying issue to cause such an uneducated outburst.

please rethink, all music has its place, you are not a musician to say this

[iloveniggers1000]

i think you gotta be stoned out of your mind to enjoy their garbage

[imaStonesFan]

@iloveniggers1000 okay im outta here cause its obvious that u and Allison are the same people and i dont have time for a troll. see ya

[kaleyjo345]

[alisonsdragonfly]

@kaleyjo345 you played the horses ass

[mohawkbell]

I love the song but the sound is distorted

[Damemary]

This is just like our local lol!

[49barfly]

Well here's a bit of trivia for you Jon Hundt. Seems mick really had the convict streak on his maternal side.

[WriterDanni]

This is by far one of the best aussie folk songs, and yet there are so few versions of it around. Kudos to Mick Jagger for keeping it around for us.

[Squarepeg]

Jagger is half Australian. Bet you didn't know that, did you?

[imaRoLLingStonzFan]

@Squarepeg

i knew it cause i read that his mother was Native Australian!

i read about my stones :-)

[kevinherbert]

Jagger is one smart dude...delusional....but smart

[Gothicbrett]

he sang it well have to admit, although can't work out why he played Ned Kelly. I heard some Aussie actors lead a protest when he got the role, after all plenty of aussie talent around even back then.

[itsaguinness]

great song problem is the fashion and haircuts in this movie looks 1970s and not 1870s. still good movie

[digvoldon]

the woild colownial boi is one of moi faverits

[chiggmacdonald]

Thanks Danni, never knew mate, good info, will research, before I comment next time.. slainte.

[TDBolton23]

I remember watching this for the first time and bugged my parents singing this song. Lol!

[chiggmacdonald]

Jack Doolin??? thought it was Duggan

[WriterDanni]

@chiggmacdonald The Irish version uses Duggan, in the Australian one its Doolan. They were substitutes for Jack Donahoe. The original version of the song was illegalised by the English Troopers so the name was changed and the two versions evolved from the original song separately in order to escape the law against singing it. There are some slight other changes in the 2 versions.

[dudeman5685]

Music in that movie is pretty good. Film itself--ehh, OK...

Does any one have that seen were hes rustling cattle and that ballad "daddy does his work in the evening" is played.

[Fryfish9]

I had no idea Jagger was capable of this. He can actually sing.

[gorozon]

Great

[KellyGreen5555]

I have this film on DVD...Marianne Faithfull was supposed to star opposite Jagger, but attempted suicide instead. Perhaps she read an advanced script...

[kcstoneguy]

ha ha, or maybe she heard this song...

[abcbeatle]

AHAHA Maybe she thought she'd become more famous by trying to commit suicide.

[aarfeld]

Yet another one of Mick's many voices. Though never employed in service of the Stones, it's another color on his palette demonstrating his versatility as a gifted singer.

[McAteerPaul]

Is the Waylon Jennings soundtrack available I wonder?

[imaStonesGirl]

I Love Waylon too!! and i was so happy he sing in that movie about Ned Kelly, i have the movie but i can`t find it i am going to look for it today i`ll upload some songs of it if i find it and some movie clips i will add

[apppleofeye]

If ye want to hear a good Waylon Jennings get THE LAST TIME lp and Honky Tonk Heros or any one realy ,======Jagger is gettin on my nerves ,he has lips bigger than most monkeys

[telemecus1]

Yeah not that impressed about Micks version, I have spent a lot of the night listening to all sorts of covers of this one (yeah I have no life). The fact this song still gets a response, after 130yrs shows the quality of it. I just wish that I could write a song that still has folks around the world discussing, debating and playing it long after I was dead.

By the way does anyone know the original lyrics?

[cockyredrooster]

a lot of wingers here dont know what they talking about go get a life instead of talking crap

[monteisp82]

crap

[johnnyboymcgee]

Ah for Jeezuz sake.I hope he can whistle 'cos he sure as feck can't sing.

[imaStonesGirl]

yes mick can sing this just is not his best but still not bad!!! (johnnyboymcgee) You must not have listened to much of his songs like wild horses or angie

[justicejayant]

Don't forget "God gave me everything".. Its my most favorite of him.

[imaStonesGirl]

yeah and so true good blessed him big time and he knows it

[jmackmanman]

hey wtf that was sweet mick jagger is the best at everything especially the dancing :p

anyways does anyone have a download link for this movie i need to watch it thx

[AnJeliCreLiC]

Why Jagger I don't Know....desperate for ratings I guess... Oz movies were Not respected then

[BlueSkyAtMidnight]

Mick was never successful in movies but he looks happy here. Bob Dylan, Phil Collins or any musicans that attempted movies all were pretty crap come to think of it

[AnJeliCreLiC]

NAH...Phil Collins made a funny movie, I thought he was good in, don't remember the title, but it was ALRIGHT, & Jagger should stick with the Rooster!

[clashaddict]

hey! a. dont even put phil and bob in the same sentence, b. bob was in 2 films, the 1st Pat Garrett and billy the Kid is a great film, the studio butchered it, but the directors cut as Pekinpah indended was great, as was bob's part. The 2nd he did however was Hearts of Fire in the 80s, that was rubbish, he even said so himself!

[IrishMartin]

God awful

[daysdev2]

Thought it was good, atmospheric. Wild Colonial Boy does have a different tune and the guys name is Jack Dugan - never the less I like Micks version.I've never seen Ned Kelly but always heard negative remarks about it. But this bar scene was atmospheric, to me.

[AnJeliCreLiC]

YOU"RE DRUNK!

[monteisp82]

it is jack doolan in Australia. at least we were taught that version at school

[suzdancastle]

CRAP, CRAP, CRAP

[derHarte67]

TOPPPPP!!! Das ist fast der beste Jagger den ich gehört habe!

[rocknroll015]

LOL...thas all I can say

[3bar17]

Lousy, but what do expect from a Brit!

[swiftfire10]

a whole lot better than froma yank, 3bar17

[ZIPPTPH77]

I could have sung it better!

[snomeljohn]

Great version!

[michaelwright999]

pure shit the clancy brothers for ever

[ZIPPTPH77]

This film was grusome, they should have all been shot for loitering!

[bloodandsnatters]

yeah, shot with a ball of their own shite!

[LukeKellylives]

...The Wild Colonial Boy doesn't go that way...Or at least, not the traditional Irish version.

[gaelicstorm]

meh clancy brothers do it best

[mattydeboe]

some 1 put the dr hook version up quickly before i get upset...these evrsions are pathetic

[telemecus1]

Yeah I saw the DR HOOK version and yep its pretty good

[buzzzcreator]

My Uncle was in this movie, he played a copper. He has says a grand total of 4 words: "Finish me off Ned"

He played one of the cops that was shot by Ned Kelly ( Mick Jagger ). A lot of this movie was filmed in Braidwood, NSW. A beautiful old colonial town.

[aarfeld]

Jagger actually injured a hand in a firearms accident during the filming. I'm glad it wasn't more serious.

[pytko3]

Long live the rebels of Australia!

[RATTLEY67]

@pytko3 Right on brother!

[terminalbacon]

@pytko3 He was born in Castle Maine... which is in Ireland ;)

[aarfeld]

It was during those long, boring hours in his trailer (caravan) on the set of this film in the Australian outback that Mick wrote that other great epic on another British colonial experience (the Carribbean): "Brown Sugar." There must have been inspiring magic in the air.

[aarfeld]

You know, on further reflection on "Brown Sugar" and the actual content of the lyrics, with lines like: "Gold Coast slave ship bound for cotton fields, sold in the market down in New Orleans," the setting is obviously the American South, not the Carribbean.

[aarfeld]

But that aside, there's been an unfortunate and misguided debate elsewhere on You Tube alleging that the song is racist, and therefore, by extension, so are the Stones. In reality it's just a slice of life observation of a time and place without judging commentary. The action of the song speaks for itself in an unstated way--no condeming commentary being necessary.

[telemecus1]

Yeah he did write brown sugar at that time, but as Mick said himself, it was about chicks and heroin, so dont read to much into the lyrics, he was under the influence.

Another thing there is a place in Australia called the "Gold Coast", that he spent a bit of time in, so take that into account.

[marushkaSR]

heheeeeee

:)

[jwstone01]

One of the great sleeper movies.  Mick Jagger as Ned Kelly? You bet! Thanks for posting...

[JimboJones100]

What Mick Jagger can't do an Irish accent!!

[GustavusAdolphus1]

Never heard this version. I like it a lot.

[cynthiailly]

Interesting clip, I almost didn't recognize Mick at first!

[KeithRichards1972]

Great movie I give Mick 5 stars
