The BEST live band perfomance I've ever seen(in the late 80's) at Festival Hall in Melbourne.They were on the bill with Cattletruck (first),and the Hoodoo Guru's(last).They whipped the crowd up into a frenzy,and did at least 5 encores(if I remember correctly) before the Hoodoo Guru's could get onstage.A "bloody ripper" of a night !!!!! P.S: I've got this album on vinyl and every track is a winner.
OMG I saw this when i was searching for a Dorothy the Dinosaur for my 18 month old on the Countdown CD they were playing in Big W. We were such HUGE fans and now as I write this my daughter is watching 'Wiggly Safari' How sentimental......did we really think we looked good in those 'dos'...hmmm
Paul Field, the lead singer used to have a website up for the band... a few years ago. He sold a few CDs on there and keeps promising to get a new website up. At this rate, until he has time for that, your best bet is to keep an eye on Ebay.
oh the memories...two of my best mates are in this clip, 2.01 in, the two party poopers standing up, when they had hair on top of their head and not a care in the world - Connell, Clarky are you hearing me?
I was playing this one night and my son saw it and he said Mum it is the Wiggles, I just laughed, these blokes were bloody wise when they switched to children's music, full credit to them.
If only they knew that in 20 years they would be in 1 of the world's biggest bands, selling out the Garden with millions of screaming fans... 4 year olds...! And actually, Jeff looks like he's really falling asleep on thet keyboard...
Hey World Party, did you actually listen to the song in this clip? It was written about 10 years before Karl wrote his song, and has nothing to do with his either musically or lyrically, except for the line "She's the one"
I wish I had the opportunity to enjoy this back in 1987, sounds like I probably would have liked it back then. Admittedly, the sole reason I had any interest in this video in the first place is the fact that my 4-y.o. nephew is a Wiggles fan.
holy shit its the wiggles
