[faluffy]

fuck yes Nick Sampson. totally my claim to fame; he's my mum's cousin..

[lcmortensen]

I remember they used this song for a road safety advert - the first two times the father comes home in a repeated fashion, then the third time everything goes weird and it turns out to be a policeman telling the family the father was not wearing his seatbelt, crashed, and was thrown from the car.

[BLUFISH61]

c.1981 Thursday night, down the 'splade (aka The Esplanade) Devonport AK. Me, Mike & Rory & about 8 random others, no BS. These guys come out, about 7 of 'em, in full military garb, brass, big sounds, the works. First AK gig. Full show for all 10 of us. Blown away. Friday night:, we're there again, too good to miss. About 60-80 people fronted. Saturday: there again, the word has spread & the 'splade is packed to over capacity - it rocked - That was NDT's first 3 gigs in AK back in the day.

[DWC179]

this is awsome :) in Brazil...missing NZ

[bmwmaffoo]

NZ music is best music !!! in the 80s at least

[01hank1]

one of best pieces of music around......luv it

[hipshot695]

life i love it

[whiteybird]

What a great Song! I remember my dear Dad when I listen to this. Thank you for posting it. Todd.

[edavisdavis]

Anne Crummer still entertaining ?couldn,t imagine her doin anything else

She had that voice Renee Geyer only had

[beatlenut65]

The NDT's were a great live band saw them many times.

[zealman79]

this is my happy song.

[starquant]

Crap Track. A group of males taking advantage of the voice of Annie Crummer. WHO does this idiot think he is... James Brown?. Epic Fail !. Fuck I REALLY hate this "White Man's" magic. It doesn't work and the Lyrics are pathetic.

[WestAucksNZ]

NDT's.....wot a great band...have live performance on vinyl with the Blams' on B side recorded in early 80's.....brilliant......esp Geno Washington cover, "She shot a hole in my soul".......still thrash the LP today....

[lePillierDroit]

Proud to be kiwi.

[Tomeccho]

ah man, this is giving me chills xD i remember.....

[TheCustard17]

One awesome NZ classic song!

[wikiriwhi]

I so wished I could have bumped into her on Ponsoby rd and said hi to her.

I walk past other celebrities. Never her.

[SkwertDiggity]

Classic Song and Still just as awesome today as it was back then. :-)

[edavisdavis]

[wikiriwhi]

She's in London doing a great stage show.

We needed more of her ourselves.

[leaderofearth]

@edavisdavis She just starred in Auckland Music Theatre's production of Rent in the Civic theater.

[geeglebear]

@leaderofearth OH was that her!?!? Wow, that was such an amazing production of Rent, I loved it.

[woogmannz]

I believe this song was concieved in when Nick Sampson was working at the Waitara Borthwicks Freezing Works. Nice to hear such a lovely song.

[petrolheadkiwi92]

this song was played at my grandfathers funeral. very appropriate song for him, il never forget his smile, he always knew how to lighten the mood up with a laugh ay

RIP grandfather

[Paddy2Noble]

Watching this song is making me homesick! Its a Kiwi classic and nothing can beat it! Thank you for posting it!

[paulandolly]

i will never forget this tune, i grew up to this and it makes me feel good and warm inside........too live so far away from home, it makes your heart melt........i'm coming home from the UK to see my family and friends? there's nothing better than WHANAU and all the ARHOHA for the greeting, i can't wait

[BlyKiwi]

Talk about the good old venues for Bands, still remember the Cabana Hotel in Napier and who can forget the Glue Pot in Ponsonby ....... memories flood back the good old days in 'The land of the Long White Cloud'

[daynepapichulo]

OMG I member that club

My mum used to go to that club and member her getting ready to hit that club back in the 80's

[Tppksnap]

This is one of New Zealands best songs EVER and check out the funky 80s clothing, dont ya love it!. And I cant believe that this song has stayed true and strong over the years to make New Zealand one of the best countries in the world.

GO the freaking 80s, Glad to be a KIWI. KEEP IT REAL/ TPPK

[PENRYHN30]

go kiwis!!!

[chrisbwah]

Used to hate this song when I was a kid and it first came out in '85. Can't get enough of it now - at least I've developed some (not much) taste!

[guntherxtent]

This brings me so good memories of a wonderul year I lived in NZ.

A warm hello from Brazil

[OutkastNZ]

This is my all-time favourite kiwi song. The lyrics remind me of how I feel about my ex and her beautiful smile.

[atlanticprivateer]

Good qaulity NZ song. Annie crumber early days! This is a good song for Summer. i play it in Aus make sure the neighbors know the words

[skankibounca]

When I first heard the name Netherworld Dancing Toys i thought farking great Disneyland has arrived in New Zealand at last... How wrong was i?

[narutophantom]

Didn't know this song was from New Zealand!

It was so cool

[primecreator]

Classic kiwi all the way. Luv it.

[klmozzie]

I forgot about this song, haven't heard good original kiwi music for ages. Cool

[ai1sa]

im gonna have this one played at my funeral

[xamehc]

everybody now ......... "we're oddfellow's & we're O.K. gotta big pack of mints that last all day"

U aint Kiwi if u didn't get that one

[novalee66]

I loved Oddfellows LOL, always a KIWI

[scepta64]

This song's da bomb. Always listen to it when I'm overseas for a taste of home. It's a goosebumper !!

[jakencotube]

hey...this rocks...annie crummer is way cool in her solo...takes me back to my 80's youth...dance exponents... andrew fagan...peking man...xx

[joshisawank]

@jaSure does rock yep the eighties were a blast....

[GoodOldKiwiBoy]

Man its old songs like these that our youth of today need to listen to more, so they can get the feeling and passion of what being a New Zealander is all about, not like all these American hoo haa's that our youth seem so intent on.

Kiwi pride man.

[fknoats]

great comment bro! it took moving overseas to give my KIWI pride a kick in the ass! now i can't wait to get back home!!!!

[djackedinc]

I didnnt realise how much I care. For today I realise I remember your slile. God bless Aoteoroa.

[denzel4jinny]

heard this song again recently got to luv it

[lisa8809]

I think it would have to be about 22 years ago - I went to school with Nick Sampson's sister - guy in the light coloured shirt in the background when Annie is singing - last time I saw her was when she was backup to KD Lang in Perth in the late 1990's.

[ri3334]

does anyone know when this song was made and if it was originally sung by a different band??? thanks :p

[bavud]

@ri3334 Nope this is the original!



[boatniga]

This is one of the best songs ever produced from kiwi's. Love this song!

[Tboi01]

[groovykiwi]

Come along everyone im sure you remember the lyrics as much now as you did back then. One of the better ones to come out of kiwi music back then - next to DD Smash

[verundo]

[NewZealandsFirstLady]

Now I can watch them Live in Brisbane now, just as I remember them. They haven't aged just like tho song Thanks.

[YahShua]

[lee57]

I remember seeing this guys play a concert at Jelli Park in Christchurch when I was in high school. Have this song on my IPOD on a loop with the other kiwi classics.

[kiwiboy375]

I haven't lived In NZ for a long time but when i listen to this song it makes me feel kind of home sick.

[novalee66]

i have been away from NZ for 17 years and I still get very homesick for my country, you will never take the kiwi out of me.

[kiwiboy375]

being a kiwi living overseas makes me much prouder to be a kiwi !

[thetempleofwudan]

[pipparobyn]

Such a kiwi classic! My daughters sing this at school. Had lunch with Nick today and he was delighted to hear that!!

[iluvretro]

Awesome! This song is what the 80's were all about - brilliant!

[solomori]

Being a kiwi living in Aussie, music like this made me really appreciate the local music I was raised on growing up back home, brings a tear to my eye. Cheers KneesTease thanx for the posty!

[roninstoff]

this song put them on the world stage...but "The Trusted Ones" was also a brilliant song of theirs...just never got the radio time

[antsbee]

[tewaewae]

[EaziBeee]

[bsa1shot]

Hey. Were these guys from Dunedin or Christchurch? What a blast from the past. Awesome!!!!

[HottGrandChick]

lng time since i heard this tune..WOW..LUVING IT

[kiaorajasmine]

These guys have the same strong power as Herbs, dd smash,Splitenz and many more original New Zealand Music. We as Kiwi`s are really spoit for genuine music. We just have to listen. For me `French Letter`Herbs, will always stay in my heart.

[zealman79]

this is the shizzle

[markymarkmark48]

FANTASTIC! This really brings back 20 y/o memories!

[katokowgirl]

Graham is an executive for British Gas. Malcolm Black is an entertainment lawyer, and an artist and repertoire manager for Sony Music. Nick, he has helped set up the Auckland office of brand design company DNA.

[katokowgirl]

Sorry, if you didn't already know, Malcolm was the lead singer of NDT.

[julesandflossy]

Fantastic blast from the past! Love the horn section. This of course was the song that launched Annie's career, and was that Kim also singing bv??? Love those check shirts, very 80s, and what a nice-looking bunch of good clean kiwi blokes. Whatever has become of them?

[katokowgirl]

Malcolm Black was a law student at Otago when this song was released. He worked as an entertainment lawyer in Auckland for a few years. Last I heard he was in a management position with Sony NZ. That was a couple of years ago though, so he may have moved on. Can't help you with the others sorry.

[hhh954]

Good lord...luv it

[letforeverbe]

livin in london, been looking 4 a copy of this, problem solved, cheers

[kharryo3]

Great memories
