@fgldnglbs I interviewed Dave Faulkner on the radio in the summer of 1986 around the time 'Blow your cool' came out and before the Mets won the '86 World Series. Faulkner showed up wearing a Mets cap and my first question was about the Mets ballcap he was wearing. Turned out he was a big Mets fan and was fully conversant discussing Gooden,Strawberry,Mookie, Carter,Ho-Jo and all the Mets who went on to win the 86WS. Played Guru toons and talked baseball for the rest of the interview.
@ShamRock121181 Faulkner was going out with Susanna Hoffs or someone from the Bangles when this came out. I'm not sure any of them were following the Dodgers, who were building up to a World Series win of their own two years later, but if they did, it was hopefully a friendly rivalry.
Come on now, was it 1997, hell no it was even better 1987 and probably most of you were not born yet. But this was the scene that probably brought most of you into the world. LOL. Yes this is what we were listening to, partying to and dancing with your mom.... To the good times than and now. That would make some of you 23 years old now, do the math.
saw these guys at the san miguel , cammeray , north sydney , this was there last aussie gig before heading off to the states , for there first US tour . brilliant night , plenty of tooheys being drunk , so glad it was just a short walk back to northbridge , or in our case stagger,stagger, crawl , crawl .got home in the end .hoodoo gurus thank you , loved it , love aussie music
He is mates with Matthew Johns, a one time football player and TV celebrity in Australia.
Matty and a few members of his team had group sex with a 19 year old girl in NZ and she blew the whistle... whose side one takes is their own personal choice.
Dave Faulkner came to Matty's defence - standing in front of matty to obscure the camera's view of Matty, telling the media people off, etc, etc.
'What's My Scene' is used as a jingle for footy over in Aus, so I guess Dave's made some mates.
Ha, ha, ha - get the fuck over it and quit being insulting. what are you, a seven year old child that's lost his He-man?
Dave was behaving like a complete cock-block in front of a guilty man who took advantage of a mentally weak 19 year old girl and got his mates in on it and here is Dave Faulkner, standing in front of him like a man who has been bought out just because his little song is now used for advertise football.
She BOASTED about it to her workmates. She is an adult who knew what she was doing, had no problems with it during the act, NOR afterwards either going by what she said and how she acted. Are females completely devoid of any ability to take responsibility for their actions or something? The whole saga is all extremely low class, but Matthews had NOTHING to apologize for in the first place.
Yes, me too! It's been so many years since I have heard this music. It has stayed with me always. It is so great to finally see the videos and hear these great songs again.
a big ditto! seeing the video for the first time,.after always just hearing the song.. I actually got in more intune with the lyrics today with what he is singing about. The lyrics.. Sums up my college life in those days - trying to be cool with the ladies - but being too much of an idealist and romantic inside to let it show to any crush I had on the outside.
I just choked on a corn chip lol. I couldnt think of anything interesting to put, so i thought you'd like to know I could of died, choking on a corn chip :S
Thanks for posting this video. What a great band. I wish they would have had more success. I saw them in 89',awesome show. This brings back great memories from college. Put a smile on my face today. Thanks!!
