[newellgirl]

[jonnightrain]

@newellgirl remember food not sure what it was or if I ate any lol

[Jmitchpen1013]

One of the gems that I remember from the precursor to MTV- Video Concert Hall.

Hadn't heard this song since around 1980, really brings back memories...

[jonnightrain]

[dansgod]

One of only good things about "new wave"! I love this song,always have.

[SpiralishCandy]

@dansgod You don't know what new wave is if you think "the Sports" were the best thing new wave had to offer.

[bushveldt]

grvoovy song, love the bass

[suzieQfan]

Hope this band reforms..they had so many hit songs in a row...and without doubt the best live band in aussie rock...better than chisel and all the others put together..they held the record at the San Miguel Cammeray..people way back in the toilets listening tom them..and 100s inside the place...best album of 1979!!!!

[platypusboy]

had a real elvis costello feel

[pleximold]

It's important to remember that they only had single blade razors back then.

[b1akjak]

Ah ain't heard this in ages, classic...thx for posting.

[monkiemike]

DONT THROW STONES BEST ALBUM EVER

[carpetcle]

I agree ...He is like James Reyne or the other way round...???

[WeLoveAlexJones]

I can see where James Raine got his voice from lol.

[rivier4]

I jumped out of bed, I stood on a cat!

I looked out the window at the laundromat.

[montbrehain]

Saw them as support band to Madness at the Cloudland ballroom in Brisbane... Loved some of their stuff , A great Ozzie band of their time .

[tonyhic]

ooh, might be the best song ever. "i'm not blind, so i don't read braille"

[qotsayeah]

awesome track

[rivier4]

This is great. They sound just as good today.

[RowieOutthere]

Bought the album in 1980 on vinyl. It changed my world. I was 17. It rocked my world. You guys were my heroes! Saw you live at pubs in Sydney and Melbourne and those venues always went off...before the fucking pokie lounges took over. BRING BACK PUB ROCK!!!

[fargus91]

LOVE THIS SONG!!!

[melcantgetausername]

this has to be one of my favourite songs! thanks very much for posting! x

[manabrau]

AWESOME!! hahaha!! you totally rock for posting this!!

[IdahoLuckyboy]

I seen this vid on HBO long before MTV i dig it and it has always stuck with me!!!

[Danteklfg]

You know, on almost every album I've ever bought, there is maybe 2 or 3 good songs (the singles of course) and the rest are just crap. But with "The Sportz" every song I've ever heard of theirs has just been pure gold, nothing dodgy at all.

[Culechick]

good song (:

[kieran9093]

Haha -love it

[septictank10]

My fav Sports tune!

"My heart will be broken, my clothes a mess"

Nice work!

[SaveStef]

I totally second that emotion :)
