Man these guys bring back memories Sweetwaters MainstreetCaberet

[MsGrinny]

Amazing how similar the voices of the brothers Finn sound.

You need to see who's singing what, to actually work this one out - CD had me going insane :P

[ramadarose41]

song is amazing! i've never seen the video before now. kinda a spoof on 40s music and lyrics, and the disco (bee gee's) look!  i love this!

[gsf67]

This was Tim's last album with Split Enz, his influence seemed to be coming less and less.

[fluffydolly]

the enz always .....great treat!!!

[Biskits99]

Good God! I haven't heard this since I was about 6, maybe? Still remember the words What a cheeky little number this is...

[fluffydolly]

i just love the enz.......to bad here in the usa they never were that big.

[RightUpYourTube]

Im getting the old spine tingley feeling from this track and I havent felt that for a VERY VERY long time!

[VoyagerInTime]

Magic Enz!

[question444]

GREAT STUFF!!! My favorite from Conflicting Emotions. Your right Jude Tim's expression is priceless in both 2:48 and 2:58.Thanks for posting such talent.

[thestubris]

To be honest I think this and 'Message to my girl' are the only great tracks on 'that album.

[fjbutch]

really clever composition ..my favourite of Split Enz

[vedder12]

Thanks for posting! I just found Conflicting Emotions on vinyl yesterday, been playing this song since. :)

[LindazEyes]

OMG, I haven't heard this in 25 yrs.! And yet I had this album on cassette (as well as several of their others) - I just played it out! Everyone danced then & this no. had a particularly good groove; happy & cool, both!

[mmandmm9]

Great thanks for posting all these videos! These guys are one of the most joyous bands I've ever heard and the videos confirm how much fun they seem to be having with their music. And, as bouncy and pop as they can be, their music always has lots of depth!

[DeathMoth]

I've never seen this video, it's rad!

Love the song

[bluejeckett]

Eddie looks like he's enjoying himself. Split Enz, so grossly underated in the world of western pop. An important player in the new wave vanguard.

[JudeTheObscured]

I do enjoy watching Tim in his "WTF is my brother doing?" posture, while watching Neil during Neil's guitar solo.

[ramadarose41]

@JudeTheObscured it's almost like, "Neil, don't split yer pants, man!" lol

[pololu1]

the road of ambition it's casualty trail (i know it well)

[moisiemo]

Great song - haven't seen this for years! Thanks!

[misschalkie]

i agree VERY quirky

[bassmanjoe]

@misschalkie WE NEED MORE QUIRKY!!!

[demonsbutterfly]

one of the greatest populiar bands ever-right up there with lennon/mcCartney

[missnorthwest]

Oh but Eddie Rayner could play a mean piano!!!

[musicgenerator]

Eddy rayner looks so nerdy in this

[langkawi13]
