[Nicronon]

Damn I love this song.

[jordanxstudios]

Great song, crap lip sync and even crapper politician. The lead singer should have stuck to being a singer, song writer and activist.

[foxzity]

3:02 - TITSLAP!

[mattharcla]

SPEAK UP, PETE, NOW!!!

[Mongo299]

@piatoscanoangel

It became famous in France during the 90's

Thank you

[MrDreadmasta]

I love this song, one of my most fav. and his dancing is awesome!!

[goingnutts57]

@MrDreadmasta Hes a lawyer.. still practicing too

[MrOffguts]

still singing about burning mattresses ? im still listening over a decade later...

[wolfmyth007]

While I do agree that what happened when the settlers first came was wrong (Stolen Generation, ect.), you get some Aboriginals that think that all of white Australia, should leave. That's when I think: Fine, we'll leave and with it we'll take civilization, which includes all the shops, then you can go back to the bush and hunt kangaroos again. Is that really what you want?

[goingnutts57]

@wolfmyth007 wasent settlers... it was convicts.. the island was used for prisoners.. thats where they came from.. they were forced to be there

[wolfmyth007]

@wolfmyth007 I'm from Australia. We had people come after the First Fleet

[fligye1]

@wolfmyth007

Maybe that is what they really want. I guess you are of those that think that all advancement is good for everyone. It didn't just happen in Australia, but in most countries that were settled by western Europeans.

[liberalguy513]

I say....fuck the Abo's.

[3one3reaker]

@liberalguy513 Remember guys don't feed the trolls.

P.S. Peter Garrett is a sell out XD

[garfunkel]

Lead Singer = John Malcovitch

[Benjoematic]

Peter, what happened to you?

[gabrules2003]

Australian music always has to do with aboriginals and giving land back and digeridoos.

[Mongo299]

90's pop classic

[piatoscanoangel]

@Mongo299

1987 actually

[H3c70rit0]

So many years ago... and it's still a great song.

This is one of the so-many creations that few people are aware of, what a pity that things such as this are forgotten with time.

[19lukez72]

I can't dance...but if I could dance I'd want to dance like the lead singer!!

[nickmiester97]

I'm 14, and i like this song, and it's meaning.

[yadicals]

When I first saw this video way back, I was watching the lead singer in amazement thinking to my self(is this dude crazy) but the more i watch i started thinking(this is awsome..totally!)

[9965paul]

This song has alot of feeling. It's beautiful, yet i feel kind of sad listening to it.

[elarbano]

EPIC EPILEPTIC dance

[DonnaSunAgain]

[butrosbutrosfunky]

[TheMortenedvardsen]

He dances like that, because he is american, and not a shitty aboriginal.

[TheMortenedvardsen]

[RandomFuryMusick]

[darwinncl]

[xXJeeXTeeXAyeXmanXx]

3:15 is it just me or does he somewhat look like a younger Richard Dean Anderson (in MacGyver)? :P

[drm65]

Late L88t 80's definitely...d

[thecoolestdad]

I've always used this song as a way of summing up the 80's.This song is pure 80's.It is one of my all time favorite songs from the 80's.We had some really and I mean REALLY good music to come out of the 80's.Anyone that lived in the 80's as a teen or in their 20's as I did knows what I am talking about.%0's and 60's is where it really got started.Then the 70's broke the barrier for rock/metal and the 80's took it over the edge and laid a classic foundation that will never be broken.

[faithandfreedom]

@thecoolestdad I agree, although i find that after 1985, the 80's musical scene kinda lost it's breath, the music was incredible. So many super hits came out of that era. Nothing in todays music, although there are a couple of good songs, nothing compares to the 80's. Living in the 80's was a magical moment in time. So was the 70's too. I am glad i was around. The time is gone now but the memories live on.

[kinksboss1]

@faithandfreedom 60's-80's will never be equaled musically

[bleed134]

@thecoolestdad 80's were garbage thank god for kurt cobain

[FoneArc]

I went to a club and tried dancing like that once - frozen legs, body bobbing left and right. Chicks thought I was retarded.

[jkappianaq]

@FoneArc lol oh darn...

[faithandfreedom]

@FoneArc LOL, thanks, that's a funny one, you made me laugh on this one. Appreciate your sence of humour.

[MegaDude1969]

@FoneArc LOL, well I knew a guy back in college who could dance just like this guy, I mean you talk about funny :)

[christopherlacroix]

@3:25 That one's my favourite.

[EgoCZ]

wtf? 1:44 EPIC dance .)



[Budmyzer]

@EgoCZ I went to Australia in 1984 and I was at that very same lake in this video "no kidding"

[Diabolech]

Α ΡΕ ΓΕΩΡΓΙΟΥ ΛΑΤΡΕΜΕΝΕ! ΞΕΝΥΧΤΟΥΣΑ ΝΑ ΣΕ ΒΛΕΠΩ ΠΙΤΣΙΡΙΚΑΣ! ΕΣΥ ΜΟΥ ΤΟ ΕΜΑΘΕΣ ΑΥΤΟ ΤΟ ΤΡΑΓΟΥΔΙ!

[marbleheadband]

when music still meant something.......one man cannot change the world, one look at these ignorant comments and it is indeed an uphill battle..........go start change yourself where you live and forget about criticism of a well intentioned musical message....... the systematic erasure of an entire population that was brought about by racism and greed much like the current class war here in the US only they're not killing us off just robbing us blind........

[Ice4Y2K]

Needs a little more Cow Bell...

[fifinina1000]

fait chier VEVO

[EarlofCrawford]

Then he runs for office and proves........all politicians are lying hypocrites

[betty62bc]

what a total arsehole , fuck labor sucks!

[DunDiddilyDooDaBee]

Guys help this poor singer ( he dances like a special child at 1:40 ) so please donate to the retarded association

[Presler500]

@DunDiddilyDooDaBee 2:57 Who's yo Daddy!!

Seriously, cut 'em some slack. Their dancing technique is reminisce of the time period they recorded the song, also show the intensity in which Peter Garrett carries his feelings for what he sings about, giving back to those who was taken from.

Awesome song, strong message.

[Trolling4Fun1]

@DunDiddilyDooDaBee Your mother is retarded !

[scragger07]

@DunDiddilyDooDaBee you are so funny

[MrJaneco84]

if you've seen the Almighty Johnsons he is olaf

[TheStoater69]

[1Daddoz1]

It's an Australian Woody Harrelson!

[MrNeroxman]

[stevetooze52]

o0coldfyre0o...so funny....lol

[guitarzan73]

One of the best songs by a crappy singer ever~!

[downunderdemocrat]

@guitarzan73 Maybe Pete will for for Rudd 2morrow at 10am?

[gnosticheathen]

hahahaha... epic meltdown below... thanks for the laughs...

but he's right, kids today have no $&@$i*#@ taste and are just so totally full of shit.

whoever clicked 'dislike' on the Oils should get sodomized by Justin Bieber's roadie.

[AlfTheTroll]

@gnosticheathen

Unfortunately, it's the shit they're exposed to.

The only music that really gets marketed and gets airplay is weighed upon trends, looks are manufactured and what we call pop today is weighed against bullshit like Idol/X-factor.

There's still good shit out there, but unfortunately it's this inorganic process that churns out the mainstream and tends to be the majority these days.

Music's just another marketable equity today.

I Feel sorry for the kids...

[MrWc867]

45 Celsius = 113 Degree Fahrenheit.

[JkNone]

[pepe6666]

@JkNone loooooooooooooooooooooool

[TJfusk]

Heard this song at Hard Rock Cafe yesterday. I'd been wondering for years what the name of the song was lol

[VYQXN]

I haven't ever forgotten this amazing band. It's funny looking back, when some kids at school thought this was a goth band. I'm guessing because Peter's vocals are so eccentric and deep. But this was at a time when pop-metal/hair bands that screamed in hi-pitched voices ruled the charts, so Midnight Oil used to really creep some people out, cause they were kind of an opposite to say the least and I loved it. But besides memory lane, I really appreciated the lyrics and message of their music. <3

[latviancimmerian]

ok so the song kicks so much ass, but what exactly is it about.

[MsAussielass]

@latviancimmerian It is about several things: big money, big corporations and their decimation of the land. War, poverty, injustice. In Australia, they refer to the injustices done by the White man did to our Aborigines. The point they make is that while terrible things happen in our world, we knowingly continue our normal lives like nothing is happening.

[tri400]

@latviancimmerian aboriginals

[highball1963]

thanks i love this song and one of these days the rent will be paid

[GuppyPal]

That aboriginal girl is hot!

[MrWc867]

@GuppyPal are you talking about the girl in 3:23 - 3:29?

[1950boots]

Beautiful People!

[srkletnik]

VH1 :)

[lilbromarky1]

cowbell madness.

[MrVinnie1981]

The 80's rock!!!!!!

[kansascitycomputers]

this song is from the 80s not 1997..I bought the album in 1988

[dotSp0T]

@kansascitycomputers and who says it's from 1997?

The description only says copyright is 1997 ..

[leloodallasmultipass]

@kansascitycomputers but you are a time traveler/

[djdatabase1]

@kansascitycomputers it might be 80's but the video might be done 1997

[eagled96]

why does it state above "(C) 1997 Midnight Oil"? this track was from 1989. great tune tho!

[MissFreakize2]

His dancing is awesome!

[bohemian4all]

Fuck Vevo. We ought to be boycotting this shit.

[mrsolofeo]

Peter Garrett is one of those guys who knocks out two or three people whenever he's on the dance floor.

[looloorex]

I love how he bops his head....I di it right along with him...LOL

[Tel]

The force of gravity makes it so we dont feel the earth rotating, Im just saying, but yeah beds burning are no joke
