Mental As Anything ~ Live It Up

[burgo3961]

Felix, the blonde girl is NOT Pamela Stephenson. Her name was "Spaced-Out-Susie", and she was a DJ at "The Bondi Tram" in the 80's. Agree with the good sort bit.

[konkurent100]

great song

[starphazedboy]

i fucking love this song!

[animal61066]

Is it me, or is the blond girl really cute? I'd love to come up to her place.

[TasLon7]

[mrssweetcute]

[TheHerbstr]

[jonblazeinc]

[meerkatlibrarian]

I love this song! Thanks for putting this on here :)

[TommyB993]

personaly i like to think hes singing to the dog the whole time.

[LlewelynLaVista666]

Let's face it, they all look like freaks (wanting to be cool '50s kids) in this, and the blonde girl looks like an '80s Britney, in a scary way.

[ripleyscat]

So that's what happened to Spinal Tap's original drummer!

[s3xyelf]

2 people have never lived it up

[z250B]

Number 1 in Australia June 1985, I was at Kapooka. Oh joy. NOT

[deoderantcan1]

two people couldn't live it up

[sphiv]

first time i heard this was on wak aday

[Zanyzo22]

Fab tune, reminds me of good old crocodile dundee. These tunes make me smile

[crazybeardave]

Love it, love it, love it! Does anyone know the dog's story? Was s/he the band's pooch or something?

[ibetts7]

The best feel good song of the 80s :)

[timoonn]

[RebuiltSteam]

I wonder if dry-ice vaporizes in the sun.. ?

[toccifan1]

made in australia,..clasik melody 80years,..

[aabbklll101]

this is my..lets see.........3rd fav song in world

[mplsmn1975]

Damn shame this song wasn't more popular. But at least the 80's was a decade full of good pop music, which is more than I can say for the 90's. (If it hadn't been for grunge, 90's music would've sucked all around)

[welshy238]

This is so 80s.

[timoonn]

@welshy238 its epic :/

[jackboot78]

Mullet central!!



[sianewins]

[MrCaseySasaki]

There's an undeniable quant nature to this music video. It's so damn quirky that it kept my attention throughout the entire thing...oh and the song helped.

[earthvisitor3]

amazing and my company promoted it

[chetdog]

i want the blonde chick so badly. i think i would sell my soul for an hour with her.

[GibbyGibbyGibb]

@chetdog she'd be in her sixties now mate!!

[chetdog]

@GibbyGibbyGibb

[ThePoorhillbilly]

[mikey3565]

[bonelloICE]

[craigmarshallsmith1]

@ipbradley You're correct. I. P. (I love your name. I had a friend

named I.P. Daily; we used to tease him a lot. He was mental as

anything too: what we call a "Republican" in the states.)

[jimjams1976]

classic 80s song !!!!!!! love it

[TreborEkul]

What a happy little song this is!! ~ Saw the band in NZ in 2001 and this tune has stuck in my head ever since! Can anybody name the blonde girl serving behind the bar?

[chickitakoowan]

the drummer looks stoned

[TheX4honda]

a young david mellor on the drums oh yeah...

[shivamlm]

Hey there you with the sad face why don't you come up to my place and live it up <3

[z250B]

This was 1985, I was at Kapooka.

[derekthesec]

Lovely song.

[stefaandk]

This was a hit in Belgium when I was a teen and I always liked it, only since actually living down under did I find out they are a Aussie band. There is something about this song that makes you feel good and the video may be entertainingly bad it is still heartwarming. Unlike today's videos which tend to purely compensate for the song being bad.

[TheDonMon17]

what a legend of a song!! pure classic!

[tubero2569]

Hey there U with a sad face come to Malate and live it Up.Hahahaha........

[philliesfanjake]

I'm from Philadelphia, Pennsylvania & this song should've been a top 5 hit yet it didn't even make the top 40. Looking back, I would've also voted this video of the year too if MTV ever played it. One of the all time catchy tunes. Thanks for posting.

[Schnappi1936]

Used to dance to this at disco's,my favourite song to dance to.Have not seen a pie and floater for years.

[jamestripney]

love this song , i had this played for a girl i really liked at a disco , it started a great part of my late teens , every time i hear this it makes me smile , the wife has always wondered why ..

[Boroman9]

One sad person doesn't want to live it up.

[richard20bris]

Is that the dog from Simon Townsend's Wonder World?

[MrTet68]

another cracking song from a down under band thanks for uploading this - just as good to hear now as then!

[whaaq2]

classic!

[johnny10301968]

When in 1986 did this song chart?

[SuperMagnum83]
