[hipsam33]

Great HIT from the 80's!!! :-)

[Leetav]

[shmuli9]

The first time I heard this, I thought it was Kool and the Gang...

[stayinhome45]

Oh I always loved this song! Brings back good memories for me:)

mullet-o-rama

[lilkenobi]

Damn I want a keytar.

[DaveWollenberg]

Hit #35 in the US (Billboard). How'd it do in Australia? God bless!

[runforitscooby]

OMG! that was a huge budget aussie clip! where did they get the money for all those tv's?

[princeraspberryberet]

Paul Gray is on Rockwiz...just performed this

[ozmensan]

Great bass playing from Mark Gray, this song stands the test of time, if you can get past the bad hair, eighties fashion and lip synching. I have enjoyed this song since it came out in the eighties, there is another longer version on the 'tube somewhere.

[noodatron]

Amazing hair!

[DaveWollenberg]

1 hit wonder in the US. Hit #36 in Billboard. How'd it do in Australia?

[toyprojector]

@DaveWollenberg

#10 in Australia

Should've been a much bigger hit in America.

[msfish66]

OMG...I'm not the only one who remembers Sounds, with Donnie Sutherland....I LOVE Wa Wa Nee!! I still have the Limited Edition red vinyl album

[dbookin]

I remember dancin to this in the club 22 years ago

[ride80]

I have the 12" single for this song. Great friggin song but this has to be the gayest video I have seen in a long time.

[princeraspberryberet]

[TMouse2007]

How often do you see a video for an anti-drug song where the band is good-naturedly making fun of their lead singer? :o)

[n1kegirl]

[watermanandyg]

This song was around for about 2 seconds in the fall of '87. I thought it was an awesome dance track. I was such a fan of this tune. I remember rocking out to it at a stop light one night back in the day. It just grazed the Top 40 (#37)

[Kepahl]

The Wa Wa Nee CDs from Amazon U.S are selling for about $70 ea. I just bought the same ones in Japan for about $10. If you want me to buy any (I'll take a cut of course) Let me know.

[ssjs1437]

Just read ur comment about the Wa Wa Nee cd's.

Do you know if they're still available. If you can get one then I'll be more than happy to give you a cut.

[danpakko]

mark waugh on bass...cool!

[BoldBenHall]

Forget this guitar hero shit - when does "guitar keyboard thingy hero" come out?

[ClashCityRockers0]

That, my friend is the fabled "Keytar"

[blackfansitesdotorg]

Great comment, BoldBenHall!

[jupes2]

@BoldBenHall The Pseudo Echo version!

[hfxmusicman]

This is a good song. How have I never heard this before? I am a child of the 80's. Wierd.

[tw1sty12]

[SavannahR8]

What happened to Donny Sutherland? What happened to Wa Wa Nee they were so damn good.

[JellyBean2144]

Oh man, I still love this song. I like the beat and the dancing..pure 80s.

[rljames54]

I miss this stuff! Dance on........

[roomsixproductions]

HOLY CRAP! I can't believe they have Wa Wa Nee on here!!!

[BoofyDog]

I have spent a whole afternoon on YouTube

WA WA NEE

how could I have forgotten how amazing they were!!!!

[dolphinwoman31]

yeah u can get addicted lol

[obscurity9999]

I would guess that they were influenced by Nile Rogers of Chic.

[brookstar1]

mark gray the bass player was in a band called Gank, it also had paul wheeler the drummer from Icehouse they were awesome did any1 out there see them, im a muso myself, so when i saw them i thought f##k, this is good.

[kmalloy11]

Wow. I remember liking this song back when it came out. Was a good thing I never saw the video back then!

[plasmacutter1]

Mr Paul Gray ,,,very interesting character, met him backstage at a gig one night, very heavily influenced by guess who? Prince , Jacko , James brown, Elvis, and the Beatles, all clever songwriters,,,, not particularly great singers. Love this song.

[roomsixproductions]

Dude, you are out of your mind.

I'm sorry, but how can you say that Michael Jackson and all those others aren't good singers?

[cbr900rrscb1100xx]

they were ahead of their time...

[r2blank2]

As a musician, when I heard this song back in the 80's it floored me because I always wanted to write catchy songs like this, and this was so good, as pop songs go. This was a song i wanted to write myself, but didn't have the talent I guess.

[thuggin83]

Trust me man ya got talent its been a lot of garbage on tha airwaves and on tv that was considered "catchy" I mean "Who Let the Dogs Out"? "Thong Song"? come on..Im sure ya talented this song however I can see how this was catchy I was I was mature enuff in 86 but I was only 3 so

[uhsfan99]

i'm glad some1 agrees with me.... Who let the dogs out is the worst song ever.... music ain't what it used 2 be....

[thuggin83]

Trust me its more than that just that song REALLY REALLY sucked while gems like this are called "gay" etc. I wish I was a teenager in tha 80's I wouldve definitely rocked this out I just got tha cassette of WA WA NEE on ebay so maybe I will get a chance to let em know its more than mainstream rap,pop,and garbage out there!

[kevkev4real]

The lead singer reminds me of Andy Gibb. Great memories. I never thought I would see this video or hear this song ever again. Thanks for posting.

[habibiyaeini]

Wow, thanks for posting!!Love WA WA NEE! Where can I get their music on CD?  Anyone know? Ive got heaps of taped WA WA NEE from the 80's on VHS.

[hianda]

Australian youtubers: anyone see the lady comic imitating the sideways dance on "The Sideshow" (ABC TV) last Saturday night? Classic. Prompted me to come looking for this. :)

[wawaneefan]

[estestim]
