Beds Are Burning - Midnight Oil

[NoEcologyNoEconomy]

I always thought this song was about Man disrespecting nature and partying on, but it's about a specific situation of giving land back to Australian aboriginals. Still, it could work either way.

[digimondudeify]

According to "the oatmeal", I would be able to take down 23 Justin Biebers in a fight!

[moidos]

loosing stiil an without o' war

[MrCenzure]

i'm 13 and i preffer midnight oil, hendrix, nirvana rather than today's talentless autotuned singers like lil wayne, gaga, bieber etc. i hope that good music like this will live through generations beyond me ..

[bgsurf1]

ocupoopers take heed

[forgetmenot73]

Whoa!!!! Great song brings me back in time!

[EATxPIExORxDIE]

Ahh the nostalgia! I listened to Midnight Oil when I was little. We've actually seen the house on the cover of this album, while driving in our old Land Cruiser and listening to one of their albums. Today, my dad and I decided to put on this album again, on our record player, after many years. My little sister doesn't recognize most of the songs, so we're going to make sure she knows one of the best Aussie bands ever!

[MSNIMSM]

I would go to bed but its on fire.

[JupaZi5]

This chorus cannot be defeated

[myaznbui]

@JupaZi5 2:40 and beyond cannot be defeated

[Trumuzicfan192]

[mrlazzuli]

@dawnous Eu

[MrCarlsen11]

@dawnous i do and im 21 haha :D

[gnarkillkicksass]

Fucking hell. I remember when I could listen to this song without a million 30 second ads on every Midnight Oil video.

How is the NBN going Peter?

I guess I will end up owing you a lot and have to pay it back. Peter has done nothing for indigenous Australians or rural people since getting into politics.

I hope the Mercedes-Benz C63 AMG I see you driving around Canberra makes you sleep well at night mate.

[Brentonator1]

Last song played on Buzz 103.1

[mathijssegers]

123 people are people who dislike this video and are respected for their behavior instead of being sadly taunted by somebody making a unwitty joke.

[amandalouloutte8777]

Sa me rapelle tant de chose mais surtout une personne <3

[starrs14]

Plus if you assholes are arguing about the World Wars... I believe the term is "United Kingdom" not just England.

Classic song! Thanks for posting.

[GoldDalek506]

Can you do The Dead Heart by Midight Oil with lyrics

[adalina04]

why the hell are you even arguing over which country is the best? they all kiss ea h others butts at the end of the day pmsl and dont even start about who owns what country becouse they have all took from one another

[madino5]

@MrDry23 we also have 13-15 trillion dollars in debt and can't rely on ourselves yeah, we're totally the best

[Talenasowlfeather]

I used to love Midnight Oil, New Order, Depeche Mode...classic alternative style that helped shape a generation...

[navrats]

dmcc20012 you burned this song out lol good all the same.

[MarJanThaKing]

[CLASHofTHElonders]

[sakuraforsakura]

[blardosplats]

I love the song...but I don't get the lyrics at all.

[MrTommyUdo]

Freddy Krueger was the lead singer.

[hasanrolf]

just like the yanks.. rob the natives of their land

[MrDry23]

@hasanrolf if i remember the british did it first...sorry we kicked your ass in the Revolution which means England didnt get the land....USA!!!!

[IamDayoldHate1]

@MrDry23 >Implying The British Empire needed the United States.

U Jelly of our Queen? Most yanks are.

[bassist118]

@MrDry23 We let ou have it coz we could make more money from trade than owning it (please read your history). You got beaten by a few vietmaneese in pointy hats and now you can't even tell the difference between your own side and the enermy....

[MrDry23]

@bassist118 we kicked senor Bin Ladens ass back to hell so you can sucks my shiny bright American Balls bitches!!!!

[PSXDooMERR]

@MrDry23 his ass got kicked by THEM. And YOU were just watching.

[bassist118]

@MrDry23 It took you 10 years to find him, then again American Inteligence is a contridction in terms - when you did it was 1 60 year old againsed 15 squadies not exactly special forces... The US hasn't won a war without our help since we founded your country...

[MrDry23]

@bassist118 oh so we didn't win the War of 1812 by ourselves? and also if it weren't for America, WWI and WWII wouldn't have worked out so well for you. It was England on their knees begging for the AMERICANS to help in WWII. Sorry you guys suck ass at fighting and lost to us twice. Get the hell over it. You know America became a super power in 200 years while it took England forever to gain what they had. AMERICA

[tigoes]

@MrDry23

America got superpower thanks to Nikola Tesla that made industrialization and wideuse of electricity possible in America first.

[bassist118]

And where is your misic industry - Katey Perry hahahahahahaha

[ZigBurden]

[incat026]

@Konstancja1121 Well fuck off this page then!

[CLASHofTHElonders]

@Konstancja1121 you sir, are THE dumbest person i have seen....if you don't like a song don't search it up to tell people you don't like it unless you have absolutely no life at all and need some outside attention from strangers and some sort of communication

[M3T4LL1C4XxXRK0]

my brother just joined the army and this was his favorite song. T_T

[navrats]

[Billinois78]

@mrfrogbutt1 I'll just say I agree, as to avoid the irony. ;)

[A55ma57er]

@mrfrogbutt1 Thumbs up for that!

[NoMoreDepression]

[DOGGODCRAIG]

[DOGGODCRAIG]

DO YOU GET IT YET????

[jeroen0011]

pfff all those thumbs down, they shouldn't do that thing on 4:15, thats what cause those thumbs down for sure!

[zlajasa]

Vh1 !

[CardingtonLZF]

This song isn't the same without the singer's insane dancing in the video lol

[Fab4Sunrises]

Umm, is this an Environmental song? I'm not quite sure what exactly it's about and I don't want to operate on assumptions.

[MrJovenanonimo]

@Fab4Sunrises

This isn't, although there is a version which is enviromental. What this song defends is that Australian's land should be returned to its right owners, the aborigens.

[RedHotChiliPeppersU2]

I've got the moves like Garrett.

[oogie11]

The intro of this song is used to great comic effect by the DJ Iain Lee :)

[Mrlebricabrac]

HEY !!! WATCH JELLY PLANE on YOUTUBE !!!

[izak1992]

THUMBS UP FOR VH1!!! :D

[413miggie]

Occupy,occupy occupy, enough is enough,the time has come!

[CheeseReaper22]

Those Occupy Wall St Losers better not use this song as their theme.

If they're capable of living without technology, they can handle living without music.

[Rand0969]

@CheeseReaper22 That's an awesome idea! Thanks! New theme song!

[CheeseReaper22]

@Rand0969 HELL NO GET YOUR OWN HIPPIE!!!

[Rand0969]

@CheeseReaper22 Don't be hatin' man. Plenty of good vibes for all. Love and Peace! Love and Peace!

[CheeseReaper22]

@Rand0969 Just find another song to use, not this one, OK?

[Rand0969]

@CheeseReaper22 No promises, man. Do you own it? I wonder how it sounds on the bongos.

[Grimdog82nd]

Great lets take it all from the 1 % and the see who can sign our paycheck . I bet a homeless guy can make payroll. I'd rather work hard and try to be one of the 1 % than piss and moan about what I don't have . Or maybe we can land a sweet deal like obama gave GE and we don't have to pay taxes .

[wyrwich]

Lets take our country back from the corruption of the top 1%. Occupy Australia. October 15th

[PorygonFanatics]

@wyrwich The Top 1% is pretty much made of American billionaires and guys in Dubai and Moscoq.

[6897yankee]

Still one of the greatest songs ever!

[kossakhoucharmouta]

peter barett=pascal olmeta+mick jagger

[gladiatorfilm]

Don't try to understand why beds are burning,why the western desert lives and breathes in 45 degrees,a fact is a fact,how we can dance while our world is turning or sleep while our beds are burning.... this is not philosophy class...JUST ENJOY THE SONG!!!

[JJWiemer1]

[Aasmund01]

@orlancallahan How do you miss the 80s.. You're like 20 years old

[BlackWingAngelGirl]

@Aasmund01 You can miss the 80's at any age The 80's is less a time period and more an icon and a part of who you are. I was raised on 80's music and so at the age of 21 I miss the 80's so I'm with orlancallahan

[richardthewriter]

@BlackWingAngelGirl I saw these guys in like 1987 or somewhere in there whenever this came out. It was a really good concert.

[BlackWingAngelGirl]

@richardthewriter Dude! Lucky. I wasn't even born yet XD anyway Let's keep listening to and promoting such great music.

[richardthewriter]

@BlackWingAngelGirl I remember that concert so well. Peter Garrett - the lead singer announced just as the concert started "a lot of you won't know most of the songs we're gonna play" but I knew every track on this album (back then we owned cassettes) so I was able to sing along to much ot the music they played that night and when the opening chords of this song played the crowd went wild.

[BlackWingAngelGirl]

@richardthewriter XD lol I remember cassettes I had a bunch of them when I was a little girl. I actually played a few cassettes to death lol

[leiefilm]

@BlackWingAngelGirl Well your not alone about that.Think i killed a few of them during my youth.OK i had help the cassette player usally ate tem.But all in all i went through a few.Same goes for walkmans can't even remember how many I've had

[commonthread2]

@Aasmund01 leave the kids alone I am well and fit and alive and ready to show them they can bring it all back without selling out they deserve good music and dreams fcking pretense I came up thru it all I want to help them I am the 70s and I rock

@shavemypubebeard I HATE TO BREAK IT TO YOU BUT ITS NOT MUCH BETTER UP HERE v v v

And that's to say NOTHING about your netiquette. Not that I am offended by an outlandish tollkin name and all caps, but perhaps you should read RFC 1855...

[shavemypubebeard]

@nazaxprime whats tollkin?

[nazaxprime]

@shavemypubebeard A species that either shares the same evolutionary origins as a Troll or has evolved from the troll species its self.

;)

I doubt I just made that up, but for the record, "I just made it up".

;P

[shavemypubebeard]

@nazaxprime oh ..and i know lol

[nazaxprime]

@shavemypubebeard lol, PS, I am not trolling you, just poking some one randomly because it is a nice thing to do from time to time when you wander in public.

;)

[shavemypubebeard]

@nazaxprime its all good homey

[shavemypubebeard]

[TheIrishmary]

[streetcat93]

Check Out "Coven, Another Life" On My Channel Favorites.

[Wawuthupu]

This song really epitomise Aboriginal peoples to be recognise the traditional owners of the land. A  land that was taken and were made second class citizens our own Bupu (dirt) and Country.

[NicolaMc01]

It's not just 'music' i

[aslongasyouloveme201]

Obviously some one cant sleep to busy trollying on youtube lookng for secret messageings hoping he ll get a wife. He cant sleep kus his bed IS indeed burning in an ocean of fire. LOL hahaha considering.

[BrahnTheHandyMan]

How old is this? Singer kinda reminds me of The Tragically Hip. I hate TTH...

[eruption257]

There is not much in this world that's more annoying than having a Resolve ad pop up during this video and having this song interrupted with some housewife crowing "STAIN GONE"

[fluff125]

Good song! Now if only it made SENSE!
